BRAD PAISLEY: Last Times Before You Know They’re Last Times

Brad Paisley‘s new single “Last Time For Everything” mentions several occasions where you have a “last time.” But Brad admits that there are a lot of “lasts” that  left out of the song, as he was recently reminded, “There’s a million of these scenarios that I haven’t thought of. We can’t fit them all in the lyric. Somebody made a comment when they heard the song the other day. ‘She’s gotten too big for me to pick her up,’ her daughter. Her daughter is just now big enough that it’s like the mom can’t really pick her up and carry her. She’s like ‘I don’t know when the last time was I picked her up. I didn’t realize it at the time. That’s the last time I’m carrying my daughter, you know what I’m saying?’  And then all the sudden, they’re on to other things and that phase is over.” Of course, while that’s not in the lyrics of “Last Time For Everything”, Brad can totally relate “I remember things my kids have done. They were the cutest thing ever and you think ‘Oh, isn’t that great?’ and the next thing you know, you’re thinking a few weeks later ‘They haven’t done that in a while. I think they’re done doing that. They’re not gonna say that that way anymore’.” “Last Time For Everything” is from Brad’s album LOVE AND WAR, which comes out this Friday April 21st. So… this is the last Monday before his new album comes out.
