Have you ever had a relationship that had to end, but you cherish the times you spent in it? Have you ever pursued a passion that is no longer available to you?
“The Dance” is about the end of a passionate relationship and feeling blindsided that it could ever come to an end. It is also about remembering the good times in the face of the pain.
This song is about a relationship I passionately pursued, convincing the man he could not live without me, even though he was hesitant. We made a lot of mistakes together, but the friendship that grew remained far stronger than the marriage that fell apart.
“The Dance” is also about getting to the end of the road with something you were beyond passionate about, like an athletic pursuit or a career. For me, it was stepping away from a love of dance.
Songwriter Tony Arata wrote the song while he was still little-known around Nashville. At an open mic night at Nashville’s Douglas Corner, he met another little-known songwriter, Garth Brooks.
When Garth heard “The Dance,” he told Tony that if he ever got a record deal, he would cut it, and the rest is country music history.
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.
“Sometimes things just don't work out for various reasons, but I still find beauty in the parts that did.” - Blu Waters
