Hear Tim McGraw, Faith Hill's Soulful New Duet 'The Rest of Our Life'
Ed Sheeran-penned song is title track from couple's first-ever duets album, due November 17th
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will honor years of fan requests when they combine talents for their first-ever duets album The Rest of Our Life, due
to be released on November 17th. The married performers made the
announcement today, along with sharing the slow-burning title track.
Written by pop star Ed Sheeran with Amy Wadge, Johnny McDaid and
Steve Mac, "The Rest of Our Life" calls to mind the rhythmic R&B-pop
of Boyz II Men's "End of the Road," at least in terms of sound. But the
singular use of "Life" in the title is woven into the lyrics – it
depicts a merging of two lives, wrestling with pledges of fidelity and
promises of stability between partners. McGraw describes a nervous
proposal, Hill imagines someone picking out names for the kids, and the
two of them try to let go of anything that doesn't matter. "I'll be fine if one gray hair shows, I'll be fine if my waistline goes," they sing during the chorus, which McGraw handles as a beautiful, soft solo near the end. The video was also released today and is available on Amazon Music.
With nine songs produced by longtime collaborator Byron Gallimore and two more by Dann Huff, The Rest of Our Lives
also features the lead single "Speak to a Girl" and "Damn Good at
Holding On," the latter of which was co-written by "Humble & Kind"
composer Lori McKenna. Pop singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor also
provided her talents for the album-closing "Roll the Dice," co-authored
with Shy Carter, Bobby Hammrick and James LeBlanc.
This
weekend, McGraw and Hill's Soul2Soul Tour heads to Texas, with shows in
Houston and Dallas, featuring support by Chris Janson.
