Die A Happy Man - The Remix / Commentary

[00:00.40] We have been playing all the cuts off Thomas Rhett's new album Tangled Up Deluxe
[00:04.42] We are down to the last song and it's kind of cool
[00:06.91] Because this is actually a remix of a song that has been one of the biggest in your career
[00:11.33] Of course, I'm talking about Die a Happy Man
[00:12.10] And you've got a special guest with you on this version of Die a Happy Man
[00:16.87] So, tell me about it
[00:17.73] Die a Happy Man obviously was its own beast on this record
[00:21.04] Never in a million years would I have thought this song would have done what it did for my career
[00:25.46] And it's amazing that a love song that's as simple as that can affect so many people's lives
[00:29.81] And so we were going in, we wanted to do a remix
[00:32.91] We wanted to do somewhat of a little up-tempo version of Die a Happy Man
[00:35.74] And so I played this song at this little summit thing in LA
[00:39.10] And Tori Kelly was actually in the audience and reached out to our label and said
[00:42.74] I love this song, I'd love to be a part of it
[00:44.32] Had a couple of guys in LA reproduce it and put a little pop flair on it
[00:49.08] And Tori just sang her face off
[00:52.42] A very, very kind human being and having her on there definitely took it to a different level
[00:55.73] And I'm really glad that she agreed to do it with us
[00:58.83] I love the way they sound together
[01:00.24] I actually love Tori Kelly, so it's good to hear her and Thomas Rhett singing together on his huge hit
[01:05.52] This is Die a Happy Man off Tangled Up Deluxe on Big Machine Radio
