About the Song
Toby Keith, a name synonymous with country music for over three decades. Now, Mr. Keith is known for his anthems about life, love, and everything in between, often with a healthy dose of patriotism sprinkled in for good measure. But today, we’re setting aside the red Solo cups and fireworks for a moment to explore a different side of Toby Keith: the lovelorn cowboy.
Tryin’ to Fall in Love, released in 2011 on his album Clancy’s Tavern, takes a more introspective look at matters of the heart. Now, for some of us, those heart matters might be a distant memory, a time when a jukebox serenaded our Saturday nights and finding love felt like a simpler pursuit. But that doesn’t mean the sentiment behind the song can’t resonate anymore.
This song isn’t about the thrill of the chase or the heady rush of new love. It’s about the quiet longing, the yearning for connection that can creep up on you even after all these years. So, whether you’re reminiscing about loves past or maybe even keeping a hopeful eye out for what’s yet to come, Tryin’ to Fall in Love might just strike a chord with you.
