      First time I heard this song it hit me hard because I instantly connected to the anguish ETC's voice expressed so painfully perfectly. Even after all these years the emotions it brings still amazes me. Maybe whose POV you "hear" in the words does that? I've thankfully been in that position but its still easy to imagine how it would affect others.
      BTW this in one of the better reaction videos I've seen here---this young lady definitely gets the lyrics----country music can have that effect!

Earl was awesome and he wrote great songs and sung them with his heart.., when I met him for the first time it was so awesome i just wanted to grab him n give him a hug but i held my composer lol we were on his bus and i just sat there in awe of Him!! One of my favorite memories ever!! It broke my heart when he passed away.. my favorite two songs are . What Id say and A woman in love.. that is if i had to choose because I have everyone of his songs and love them all.. last time I saw him sing he was showing signs of his illness.. so sad 😭. He is my all time favorite Singer.. love and miss you Earl Thomas ♥️

    People used to say Earl sang “thinking man’s country music.” This was a brutally hard hitting song and it was a chart topper. He has other songs in that vain. Check out “What I’d Say” and “Once in a Blue Moon.” For more uptempo songs by him, I highly recommend “Fire and Smoke” and “Heavenly Bodies.”

      Although it may not disprove your first statement I'd would suggest Trace Adkins "Just The Way We Do It". I utiful India t we need to get our beautiful India truly converted to country music, and for that she needs to be exposed to the different facets of country especialy the upbeat and danceable songs.

    One that will really get you is Keith Whitley "Don't Close Your Eyes"--about a man loving a woman who is still in love with her ex. He's another who died way too young.
    And since you like deep-voiced men, you would likely melt hearing Conway Twitty "Hello, Darlin'" or "Slow Hand" (also covered by The Pointer Sisters) or for one more fun, "Tight-Fittin' Jeans"

    Thank you for discovering my all time favorite country singer, Earl Thomas Conley. Earl said in an interview that this song was his biggest hit. ETC is the most underappreciated country singer of all time, bar none. He had 18 Number One Hits during the 1980's and it is a shame he is largely forgotten today(although there has been some renewed interest since his passing). He has a long list of songs you would enjoy. I, too, am not a big country music fan but I am a big Earl Thomas Conley fan. You do not have to be a big country fan to like ETC and that is what made him so great. You should review my favorite: "Can't Win For Losing You". I know you would enjoy it. I knew there was a reason for subscribing to your channel. If there is anything you would to know about Earl, just ask. Thank you again India for showing appreciation for Earl Thomas Conley.
