Have you ever been tempted but knew your choice was not the best? How did you deal with it? Would you change a thing if it happened again?
This week's song describes a man who is tempted by a woman who tries to steal his heart. He is drawn in by the mystery in her eyes and can't resist her sweet kiss. He can't deny that he is tempted despite knowing he might get hurt.
"Tempted" is a song co-written and recorded by Marty Stuart. It was released in August 1991 and reached #5 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
You could say “Tempted” is a very special song. It's about surviving tragedy even though you can barely breathe while being tempted by a relationship that wasn't meant to be. We've all had that same experience at some point, making life more meaningful.
Join me and Nashville recording artist Blu Waters, the voice behind the songs we feature in each episode. The same songs guide the reading from my soon-to-be-published book I’m Just a Country Song: Three Chords and Only My Truth.
“Giving up is simply not an option for me. Failure is an option because I've learned so much from my failures, but just throwing in the towel is not an option. I would much rather look back on my life and have no regrets than long to have taken a chance on my dreams.” - Blu Waters
