Have you ever been so touched by a song that it made a major impact on your life?
Do you think if you ever met the singer, would you share that story with them?
Well, if itâs a Michael Ray song, let him know!
In fact, Michael says that hearing how fans connect with his music is one of the coolest parts of his job, âBeen fortunate to meet with a lot of fansâŠeither meet and greets, or after shows, or just randomly, see somebody outâŠthey come up and talk to you. One of the coolest things that I think you can do as a fan of anybodyâs music is tell your story of that song.â
When it comes to fans sharing their stories with him, thereâs one that always sticks out in his mind. Michael shares one time when a fan told him how his heartbreak song âHer World or Mineâ actually saved the fanâs relationship, âThis guy came up to meâŠwith his wifeâŠIâm at a meet and greet, and was like âMan, that song saved our marriage,â and he said âWe were both done, and hearing the lyrics of that song kind of put us in the place ofâŠOK, this is how life is going to be without each other. And we didnât want that.â So, they worked it out, and they were happier than ever.â
Michael admits itâs hearing stuff like that, that makes him realize how much his music connects with people in such a special way, âItâs funny because that song is a heartbreak song about a break-up, but you hear songs the way youâre meant to hear them at that time, and thatâs probably one of the coolest ones that sticks out to me.â
So, now you know if you have a story about Michael Rayâs new song âWhiskey and Rain,â please share it with him!
