George Jones Lyrics

    ------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones

Whitney huston? Please. It did reach billions with george jones. As far as the i will always love you song, with her ridiculous voice aerobics, she murdered that song. That woman was much over rated. Damn.

    ------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" should have been sung and recorded by Whitney Houston. I can hear her singing it and taking it beyond the Country & Western genre. It's a great song sung by George Jones, but if sung by an exceptional woman singer who knows how to interpret a song, it could reach billions. Unfortunately, Whitney Houston never had the opportunity to record it in her brief lifetime. She took "I Will Always Love You" to another level, and now we'll never hear her take "He Stopped Loving Her Today" to that higher level.

    ------ About the song Window Up Above performed by George Jones

As a 74 year old female country music fan, I've loved George Jones forever! I like the "new" country music and the new country performers, but there is no one---and there never will be anyone---who can sing an old-time country song like George Jones. I wish him a quick return to excellent health and many, many more years of good health and happiness.

    ------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones

I'm not much of a country fan; Johnny Cash and Hank Williams being the exceptions but, when I came upon this song I just had to stop and listen.I guess I'm just a sap for a truly sad song 'cause this one really dug down deep and grabbed my soul. He just died of a broken heart, that's all,(not suicide like some believe) that's how much he loved her. Nobody said he had to be young when she wrote him those letters either, maybe in his thirty's or early forties. We all get to love someone,sometime. Some more deeper than others. I had mine, it took me twelve years to forget her. She broke my heart but, I learned to live with it.

    ------ About the song Choices performed by George Jones

@diablodan What language were you typing? It looked like English, but perhaps it was Japanese Romanji? I'm just sayin' that was the most incoherent babble I've read in quite awhile. I..honestly can't really say if I agree or disagree with your points, because I'm not sure what you're even attempting (and failing miserably) to say. That being said, I think you're being disrespectful to people that have seen the negative aspects of addiction. I am among those people, I grew up around it. It is almost exactly like being in a third-world prison. In no way something to make light of, or criticize others for standing against. I only pointed you out 'diablodan' because not only were you inconsiderate enough to belittle others opening up about truly terrible experiences, you were also ignorant enough to do so with absolutely atrocious grammar. Anyways, this song itself is beautiful. My favorite song from George Jones by far. Regardless of the subject: Addiction, marriage, parenting, education, career, the type of person you are; all these things require choices to be made, and so often in our short little life we don't get a second chance at those choices. I've had a lot of people in my life die suddenly, it has taught me the importance of choosing to make the most out of every single day, and choosing to let the ones you love most know it.

I agree with reviewer Bill Howard 12-28-11,these
words are written from the heart so to speak but
we have live them in ours. The voice, what was said and the I Love you,s. Maybe time will erase
your hurt, just have to face it, it,s gonna be there a long time.Im done,it,s my time now,I ask
God for a love, we,ve earned it,one loving heart
for a better next Christmas/ New Year. Judy

    ------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones

I think I see how some would interpret the suicide. The lyrics "I went to see him today" and "first time he smiled in years" - I agree with another reviewer that would be interpreted as a man in his casket prepared for burial. But in no way does this song imply he killed himself. Only that he vowed to love her UNTIL he died, and the end of the song only says that he did, therefore "stopped loving her." This is classic country, and George Jones to boot, which is all about the heartache of a lost love. At first I thought the same thing, the suicide. But after reading the lyrics carefully, I've decided against that, and only see that this sad, lonely man died one day and never got her back. It is truly a testament to many who have lost the true love of their life, and carried that love (or will carry it) until death. The song implies he lived far in his past (1962) and that it drove him crazy sometimes he could not have her. Therefore, that would imply many years passed, and he died of natural causes, or what have you, but it certainly does not say he took his own life.

    ------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones

I can relate to this song on a very personal level. When I got drafted into the army in 1961 I had a girlfriend, and we were deeply in love. Throughout my time in the army, especially 1963 I received many letters wherein she said "I love you", I did, in fact underline each one of them and read them over repeatedly. She found someone else, moved away and that was that. I still think of her and probably will until my time to "stop loving her today". This is a great song about strong love thwarted by something that you will have to imagine for yourself.

    ------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones

It's about the pain of holding a passion and love that will not weaken and dissolve, deeply desiring it's return and not getting it.

Sometimes the only thing to extinguish the unrelenting passion (if it's not the anger at being denied it's returned) is to be put into a box. That's how strong the love/ desire can be.

Vincent (Starry Starry Night), by Don Mclean has the same subject: The artist, Vincent, being somewhat obsessed with seeing and capturing his passion for beauty in nature and in faces and putting it on canvas, faithfully putting that picture of love out into the world and getting not much in return ends up suicidal. This world was never meant for ones as beatiful as these.

You can go through periods of time, an entire life, where you don't get much love but for some people that does not mean that they themselves did not love throughout their lives. In the case of Vincent and the subject of this song, they did love for long painful time and died in love, but in the case of Vincent, he probably felt worthless for not receiving love--which was not at all the case-- he was a great artist--just unapreciated during his life.

In the case of Jesus of Nazareth the passion and love is proclaimed to go beyond, to conquer death.

The theme from Titantic also comes to mind.

"Vincent" and "He stopped loving her today" are perfectly beautifuly written somgs and the only two songs that brought me, personally to tears except maybe the one by Francis Scott Key, at times. They are all about being fully willing to be slayed for the sake something bigger than ourselves.

To me the subject in this song absolutely did not end his life and if he lived a thousand years he'd still be looking at those love letters hoping...
