I don’t see what’s so wrong with this song. Gracin does a better job at this song than Tim McGraw does.

[...] reading of the same song, and Gracin’s version, by comparison, feels shrill and disconnected. – The 9513 Gracin sounds like he’s swooning over a long lost love. In case anyone out there’s still [...]

Josh, do you really need to post this same ‘critique’ of the review/reviewer on multiple sites?

You all suck for overlooking this song. What makes a song more successful is the story behind it. Gracin does a far better job vocally with the long notes. The song itself is about a 19 year old who wants to get away from where ever he is. Tim McGraw sings this song as if he is just reading the lyrics. Gracin is singing with the emotions of a 19 year old. And at the end of the song, where he loses his girl? When we lose someone really important in our lives we do two things. 1.) We grieve. 2.) We realize that their time in our lives made us a better person so we have no regrets. 3.) We write songs about them in their honor.

This song is much better when you actually remember what it is like to be a teenager and to actually remember those who have left you as the ones who have made you who you are today.

Sorry Jim Malec but, with all due respect, I think that maybe you need to remember the ones who made you who you were today and write a song in their honor only to have some critic write a shameful review on it.

I for one, really like this song. I think Gracin really pours a great deal of passion into this song. I can see where you may think that his interpretation missed the point of the song, but I think both his and McGraw’s versions are effective. McGraw sounds like an older guy that is looking back on his time, fulling understanding the significance (and insignificance) of the events. Gracin sounds like he’s recreating the events in his mind, still evoking the passion and emotions of the moment. Does Gracin oversell the song a bit? Maybe, but I think he connects with the lyrics, just a little differently than McGraw did.

You’re absolutely right about that, Bobby. Thanks for the correction.

Hate to correct your Latin, Jim, but that should be “Michigan native and American Idol *alumnus*”. Alumnus = singular male, alumni = plural male or mixed, alumna = singular female, alumnae = plural female. There’s only one Josh Gracin.
