The Importance of Presence: ‘You're Gonna Miss This'
In the opening verse of the 2008 Trace Adkins single, 'You're Gonna Miss This,' a scene plays out that many can relate to. As a mom drops her daughter off at school, the young girl voices her wish to grow up faster so she can live by her own rules and make her own money. The song is told from the perspective of the young girl, who ages as the tune progresses. During her coming-of-age story, listeners are brought into her world where she bickers with her mother, gets married, and eventually has children of her own. Adkins's baritone vocals and emotive performance made the sentimental tune one of country music's enduring contemporary works. Its theme, which focuses on the art of being present, is driven home by real-life fatherly advice—advice we could all occasionally heed in our lives.
