If you enjoy Luke Combs’s music, you will adore the song “Six Feet Apart.” This is a more diverse side of Combs that fans rarely see. This song is wholesome on the outside, but the lyrics are dark and overbearing.
An extremely pure song on this album would be “Dear Today”. The song starts with Luke Combs backed up from the mic and singing softly, which gives you a feeling of sitting around a campfire, playing the guitar and having fun. This song includes self-love, a mommas boy, and some gut wrenching lyrics about a breakup.
A very enjoyable song, “What You See is What You Get,” has some high vocals, an upbeat guitar and a great drummer. This song is also about romance, but also just Combs being honest with himself and understanding what is great about him, and no one else.
Song “Better Together” catches Luke Combs talking about his hometown, and expressing that some things just go together better than others. A slow, romantic song that includes some great piano instrumentals that pairs perfectly with the raspiness of Luke Combs voice.
