Show Gary Allan Lyrics"Life Ain't Always Beautiful" Life ain't always beautiful Life ain't always beautiful But the struggles make you stronger [Chorus:] Life ain't always beautiful And I wish for just one minute But the struggles make me stronger No, life ain't always beautiful Thanks to Brian Carroll for correcting these lyrics. Writer(s): Tommy Lee James, Cyndi Thomson This is the second and final single from the album. The song peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Songwriter Tommy Lee James thinks that this song is one of his favourites. He explained, "It's kind of a self-help song. It's one of those songs that's kind of about life, and a pick-me-up song. And it has a little bit of that Dr. Seuss simplicity." The music video for this track was shot in Las Vegas.
album: "Tough All Over" (2005) Gary Allan included “Life Ain’t Always Beautiful,” on his 2005 album Tough All Over; as a single, it peaked at No. 4 on the country charts and became Allen’s ninth Top 10 hit. The song’s beginning lines — “Life ain’t always beautiful / Sometimes it’s just plain hard / Life can knock you down / It can break your heart” — feel a bit despondent and hopeless … but then, the tune’s writers turned it into a song of redemption. Read the whole story at The Boot “Life ain’t always beautiful I love this beautiful Country song, written by Cyndi Goodman and Tommy Lee James and sung by Gary Allan. It’s so inspiring and touching. And especially knowing one of his real life experiences of deep pain that may have influenced his choice to sing this song and with so much passion. “happiness has its own way of takin’ its sweet time” Just because we aren’t happy right now or sometimes doesn’t mean we are destined to be unhappy forever. We can always become happy at any point as long as we are alive. Gary Allan is a man who experienced true tragedy. He lost his beautiful wife to suicide in 2004. What an unimaginable loss for him and their kids and other family and friends. My heart goes out to them. Imagine the pain and horror they must live with each day. His wife, Angela, suffered with severe headaches and depression for years and took her own life one night while she was at home with the children. Poor baby. It’s so devastating that she suffered how she did and couldn’t see the light through her darkness. I wish I could give her a hug. We can want to die one second but just a second later change our mind. Imagine how many suicide victims probably would have changed their minds if only they held on just a second longer. Imagine how many pulled the trigger just a second too soon. The depression, the headaches, the suicidal inclination, for many of us aren’t temporary. They are chronic or episodic and they come and go. Come and go. Appear then disappear. But even though they always come back, and even if they stay a while, they always go again or can if we hold on. It does not always feel as if it will or can end or that we can live with it. But the pain can end and/or we can learn to cope better. And we can still find beauty in pain, both physical & emotional. “No, life ain’t always beautiful This song is full of so much strength and determination. So much hope. Instead of giving up and becoming bitter, he takes his pain and puts it into his singing to share beautiful messages with the world. We can all take our pain, no matter how serious or minor, and turn it into good whether it’s through singing, writing, sharing our experiences or positive message any way we can. Even if it doesn’t reach as many as a famous person’s does, it can still reach at least one. And that is good enough. ❤ This song here can apply to any pain or problems we may have. Even through his agony and loss he can see beauty in this life. It's ok that life isn't always beautiful. We can seize all the beautiful moments and acknowledge them, honor them, cherish them instead of getting sucked into the bad and overlooking all the goodness. Just because pain and tragedy and nonsense exist in life doesn't mean beauty and goodness is outweighed or has to take the back burner. Why let the bad side have all or most of the attention and energy? We have a choice where to place our attention. For some people, it may take a lot of practice to generally see the good. But it's always possible. I feel a pull in my chest and deep beauty well up in it when I listen to this song or read the lyrics. I just love his gentle, kind of sad, but hopeful voice. It’s so beautiful.
