Some songs hold more personal meaning for the songwriters, and for Lee Brice, his latest single, "I Don't Dance," is as personal as it gets. Written for his wife Sara for their 2013 spring wedding, the song was never meant to be released but it was too beautiful to keep under wraps. The song chronicles his thoughts on marriage (and how he thought he would never find the one woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with) and how Sara changed all that.
Brice told People Magazine, "It's the most personal thing I've written ever. It was for my wife for our first dance at our wedding. And it wasn't even supposed to be really a song on the record. It was nothing about that, it was just for Sara."
The two dated off and on for over a dozen years and had a son named Takoda went they walked down the aisle. Shortly after their big day, Lee talked about how ready he was to take the big plunge. He shared, "After saying 'I do,' it was like a relief for me because I had been getting to a point in my life where I was like so ready for that… This last year I’ve just been so anxious… So to know now that we’re here and we’re ready and we can now take steps forward to start this whole new adventure it’s like a relief. It’s like, 'Alright, we got here. Now we can start. We can really, really start.'" The two were engaged for about 16 months but it wasn't because Lee was unsure. He explained, "As a man, when you ask a woman to marry you, like I was ready then. I could have married her the next day and I would have been ready."
In the new music video, fans can see for themselves just how ready Lee was as wedding footage from he and Sara's wedding is included.
The Knot, the internet's most visited one-stop wedding planning site, recently added "I Don't Dance" to their list of the 12 Hottest Wedding Songs for 2014 in the #10 spot as the only country song.
