I’ve got to think his dad knows about it. Every time I’ve seen him perform it, you can feel the emotion. It was not necessarily the (kind of) song that he was becoming known for, but I think it was important to show another side of Cole. We both agreed it should just be about him, and people can apply it however they want. We even toyed with the idea of going fully personal with it, or try to do different vignettes. Its perfect outside Its like God let me dial up the weather Got the whole crew here I aint seen some of them. So he takes his idea to honor his dad.ĪG: Yes. Cole Swindell - You Should Be Here Lyrics.
Even though it came from, like you said, a happy really impacted him on the situation with his dad.īecause Cole lost his father in a tragic accident right on the cusp of his success. We kind of immediately knew what it should be about. Later on that next afternoon, I brought that idea up. It's perfect outside its like god let me dial up the weather Got the whole crew here, I ain't seen some of them in forever It's one of those never forget it, better stop and take it in kinda scenes Everything's just right yeah except for one thing You should be here, standing with your arm around me here Cutting up, cracking a cold beer Saying cheers, hey y'all it's sure been a good year It's one of those moments, that's got your name written all over it And you know that if I had just one. This was one of the later ones so I took it back to the bus. We had written two or three songs already over the last two or three days. Hopefully, you will find some comfort in knowing that.Like any songwriter would, I had a little double take and thought “Oh, that sounds like it could be a title, could be an idea.” You'd be loving this, you'd be freaking out, you'd be smiling, yeah I know you'd be all about what's going on right here right now. Listening to it may make you cry, but it will also help you realize that your grief is a part of the love you still feel for that special person who is no longer in your life. “You Should Be Here” is not an uplifting song, but it is one that will resonate with anyone who is missing someone they love. A feeling of emptiness quite unlike any other, it can deeply color our experience for a long, long time. It’s a feeling that’s familiar to anyone who has lost a loved one - a sudden pang of intense grief at moments of enormous joy - the birth of a child, a marriage, college graduation - times when it seems almost impossible that the person we love is not there to share our happiness. Showing them off to everybody that you know back homeĪnd I would be too if I could see your face You’d be taking way too many pictures on your phone But in the lyrics, we hear the palpable sadness of a man who wishes more than anything in the world that he could share his success with his dad. In the music video that accompanies the song, we see Swindell on stage, being cheered by hundreds of fans and congratulated by exuberant friends. You Should Be Here Lyrics by Cole Swindell from the You Should Be Here album - including song video, artist biography, translations and more: Its perfect. And you know that if I had just one wish itd be. And about the inescapable fact that sharing the greatest moments of our lives with the people we love - parents, siblings, lovers, partners - is such an enormous part of what gives us joy. Its one of those never forget it, Better stop and take it in kinda scenes. Swindell is singing about missing his father, of course. It’s one of those moments, that’s got your name written all over itĪnd you know that if I had just one wish it’d Saying cheers, hey y’all it’s sure been a good year. You should be here, standing with your arm around me here I know you'd be all about what's going on right here right now. It’s one of those never forget it, better stop and take it in kinda scenesĮverything’s just right yeah except for one thing Got the whole crew here, I ain’t seen some of them in forever It’s perfect outside its like God let me dial up the weather, Released in 2015 as the lead single on the album of the same name, it was co-written by Swindell and songwriter Ashley Gorley. “You Should Be Here” is a song about the bittersweet commingling of joy and grief. In the midst of one of the happiest periods of his life, Swindell faced one of the most painful losses a child can experience - the death of a parent he dearly loved. His father, William, had been killed when a truck he was working on fell on him. In September 2013, when country singer-songwriter Cole Swindell was on tour celebrating his first big recording contract, he received devastating news.
