View this post on InstagramIn a conversation with Matthew McConaughey on McGraw’s Apple Music Country show, Beyond the Influence Radio, McGraw shared that the song made its way to him during a traumatic time involving his father, baseball great Tug McGraw, who was battling glioblastoma brain cancer. The country star co-produced the track while he and his family were processing their grief.
“About three in the morning, I said, ‘It’s time to do this song,’” McGraw recalls. “We spent three hours recording, and my Uncle Hank collapsed crying on the couch every take.”
Released in June 2004 and dedicated to his father, the song’s lyrics — “And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter / And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin’” — resonate all the more.
Winner of Grammy, CMA, and ACM Awards, “Live Like You Were Dying” spent seven nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, remains McGraw’s longest-leading hit, and sits atop Taste of Country’s “Top 50 Tim McGraw Songs” list, surpassing classics like "Please Remember Me" and "I Like It, I Love It."
