They said: This is probably the saddest song ever, so apologies in advance, but I think the simplicity of the acoustic guitar just adds to the sadness.

Newness comment: Didn't know it. I do recognise the name Brad Paisley but wouldn't know anything by him. Alison Krauss I know from her collaboration with Robert Plant but that's it
Fit comment: Yeah, nice and simple. The voices mesh nicely and don't get in each other's way.
Song comment: First things first, I'm glad this entered as it's not what I'd normally listen to at all. But.... it just doesn't grab me. My main issue is that the lyrics are meant to be really sad but I don't feel the emotion in the singers' voices, so it ends up feeling a little fake to me. She's got a great voice, and I feel like his could carry that emotion but doesn't here. So it just leaves me a bit flat, sorry
