4 Joey + Rory Songs That Will Always Touch Your Heart
on Dec 29, 2017
“When I’m Gone”
Without knowing the story behind it, many people listen to Joey + Rory’s “When I’m Gone” and assume it was released during Joey’s cancer battle. But it turns out that is not the case. In fact “When I’m Gone” was released in 2012 as the sixth track on their album His and Hers.
Joey serves as the song’s narrator, singing to her husband about how to stay strong when and if she passes away. She tells him, “You wonder how you’ll carry on/But you’ll be okay on that first day when I’m gone.” Joey also sings to her husband that “even though you love me still/You will know where you belong/Just give it time well both be fine/When I’m gone.”
Now, the song has taken on a whole new meaning since Joey passed away. It almost makes it seem like Joey was trying to help Rory far before she even knew he needed it, giving him a touching song to remember her by.
No matter how many times you listen to “When I’m Gone,” it is guaranteed to touch your heart and bring tears to your eyes.
Joey + Rory have released a wealth of heartwarming, touching songs over the years. Unfortunately, many of these songs didn’t get much recognition at first. But now, these songs take on special meanings that make them far more powerful than when they were released.
Thank you for all of the beautiful music Joey + Rory.
