Luke Combs Teases Studio Cut Of Stone Cold Country Heartbreaker, “Wish Upon A Whiskey”

Another Luke Combs heartbreak heater incoming. This afternoon, he shared a teaser of the studio cut of “Wish Upon a Whiskey,” which is a song he actually debuted it in Australia and New Zealand last February. And with his new album The Way I Am set to release on March 30th, I have to imagine he might be planning to drop this song before the full record is out, but at the very least, I think fans will be excited to hear some of the studio of this one. The lyrics tell the story of a man who didn’t do enough to keep his woman around, he paints a beautifully heartbreaking picture of how he’s tried everything, even “the back pew of that church” and reading “every chapter, every verse” of the Bible, though nothing seems to work. So he decides to “pull that bottle out and wish upon a whiskey” instead: “The silence, so quiet, It’s filling my mind with everything we were that wasn’t, Once again I fall to pieces, I gave up on a shooting star, It’d have to fall down way too far, To fix this kind of feeling that I’m feeling, I tried the back pew of that church, Read every chapter, every verse, But all my prayers, they always hit the ceiling, So I do the only thing that don’t make me feel empty, Pull that bottle out and wish upon a whiskey” Luke is just so good at these kind of soul-crushingly sad ballads, and the story telling and lyricism here is just top notch. I can’t wait to hear the full song, and hopefully it will be sooner rather than later: View this post on Instagram He’s released several songs from the 22-song tracklist thus far including “Back in the Saddle,” “My Kinda Saturday Night,” “15 Minutes,” “Days Like These,” and most recently, a stunning love song inspired by his wife Nicole, “Be By You.” The album was produced by Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Chip Matthews, and it will feature just one other artist on the song “Ever Mine,” as we get to hear Combs and Alison Krauss team up for the first time and I’m sure that will be incredible.
