This week´s pick for the challenge is a beautiful and inspiring song, and also a new addition to Red karaoke´s karaoke catalogue (kudos to Colonelmac), Live like you were dying by possibly one of America´s most famous country singers, Tim Mcgraw.

Live Like You Were Dying is one of Tim Mcgraw´s most succesful singles and probably one of the songs that is closest to his heart. Mcgraw wrote Live like you were dying in 2004, dedicating it to his father, former baseball player Tug Mcgraw. Mcgraw senior had been hospitalized with a brain tumor and diagnosed with cancer, with only weeks to live.

Live like you were dying is a heartfelt and joyous song of a man without much time to live who learns to make every moment count. The message was a powerful one, and helped the single become a chartopper in no time, spending a total of seven weeks in the number one spot. Not only that, but Mcgraw´s live like your were dying also became one of the most awarded songs of 2004, named the biggest and best single of the year by nearly every country award panel.

Live like you were dying is a beautiful ode to life and an excellent challenge for the users of Red karaoke. Take the time to listen to this beautiful country song, give the challenge a try and post your rendition in the forum. The winner of this week´s challenge will appear along with their recording in next week´s newsletter.
