Thought It Was Gonna Be Me by Catherine McGrath (@imcathmcgrath)

Here is a new song that popped up on Wild Country this week. It’s really a good one.

The artist is new to me here at Country Music Life. But I’m sure that some of you out there are aware of this artist. That’s usually the case.

This is definitely a sad country song. The lyrics are good. Simple. Maybe a bit familiar, but it doesn’t seem that way when you’re listening.

Check it out and see what you think.

Thought It Was Gonna Be Me – Catherine McGrath

Is there a little movement to the sad side of life? Country music has always been the king of the sad song. We have this list on our site that is of sad country songs. And it is by far the most popular section on the site. I think a sad song makes people feel like they’re not the only ones going through something. Maybe it helps us work through sad things.

Anyway, this one is about a girl that’s going through a tough time. A former friend or former lover. The guy has no clue how the woman is feeling. He thinks they’re still friends. He thinks that she wants to meet his new girl.

But underneath her half smile she’s dying inside. She wishes that she was the new girl. She wishes that her life would have worked out a little different with this guy.

Let me know what you think of this one and of the other sad country songs coming out right now. I like them once in awhile.
