Good Noon Hour/Early afternoon my RP Brothers and Sisters!
it is just a little before 1PM in the greater Boston Area and so this makes it a good time for a Noontime Music Interlude... For this Interlude, I have selected a song by a group known as LIttle Big Town performing "When Someone Stops Loving You"! THis is the first I have heard of this group, but they have a great C&W sound, which I believe that you will enjoy...
Here is a short backgrounder:
"Little Big Town is an American country music group. Founded in 1998, the group has comprised the same four members since its founding: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook. Their musical style relies heavily on four-part vocal harmonies, with all four members alternating as lead vocalists; Sweet and Westbrook also play rhythm guitar.
After a recording deal with the Mercury Nashville Records label which produced no singles or albums, Little Big Town released its self-titled debut on Monument Records in 2002. It produced two minor country chart singles before the group left the label. By 2005, the group had been signed to Equity Music Group, an independent record label owned by Clint Black. Their second album, The Road to Here, was released that year, and received a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). A Place to Land, their third album, was released via Equity, then re-released via Capitol Nashville after Equity closed in 2008. Five more albums have followed for Capitol: The Reason Why (2010), Tornado (2012), Pain Killer (2014), The Breaker (2017), and Nightfall (2020). All of their albums have accounted for 24 singles on Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay, including the No. 1 singles "Pontoon", "Girl Crush", and "Better Man" along with the top 10 hits "Boondocks", "Bring It On Home", "Little White Church", "Tornado", and "Day Drinking".
2018–present: Summer Fever and Nightfall:
A new single, "Summer Fever", was released on June 6, 2018 as a stand-alone single. It debuted (and peaked) at number 29 on Country Airplay, becoming their highest debut to date. The song also peaked within the top 40 of Hot Country Songs and Canada Country charts.
The group then released “The Daughters” on April 5, 2019 as the first single to their upcoming album Nightfall, which the band produced themselves and will be released on January 17, 2020. "The Daughters" debuted at number 29 on Hot Country Songs but was not promoted to radio and thus failed to chart on Country Airplay. On September 8, 2019, Little Big Town released "Over Drinking", the second single to Nightfall. The band will also embark on a 30 date theatre tour of the same name with supporting act Caitlyn Smith, beginning with a show at New York City's Carnegie Hall the day before the album release."

LYRICS:
"When Someone Stops Loving You" by Little Big Town
Still gotta walk into a crowded room
With the radio on
Crack a smile and crack a beer like it don't bother you
Like it ain't your song that's on
Still gotta cross the bridge to get to work
The one by her place
Make it through the nine to five like you don't hurt
It goes that way
When someone stops loving you
It don't make the evening news
It don't keep the sun from rising, the clock from winding, your heart from beating
Even when you want it to
When someone stops loving you
Still gotta button up your collared shirt
The one she used to button down
Sleep on the mattress where her body left a curve
Or maybe just the couch
Still gotta keep her number in your phone
In case she calls back
One night when she's drunk and all alone
Yeah, you pray for that
When someone stops loving you
It don't make the evening news
It don't keep the sun from rising, the clock from winding, your heart from beating
Even when you want it to
When someone stops loving you
The hardest part about it is
There ain't a switch that you can flip
'Cause you can't stop loving them
When someone stops loving you
When someone stops loving you
It don't keep the sun from rising, the clock from winding, your heart from beating
Even when you want it to
When someone stops loving you
When someone stops loving you
When someone stops loving you
