“I am so thrilled that we had the opportunity to record this song, “ stated Jonathan Bucker of Chosen Road. “‘I Wish I Had One More,’ written by Jimmy Yeary and Terry Herd, captivated me the moment I heard it. It’s a song that stops you in your tracks and makes you reflect on the little moments in life that truly matter but are so easy to take for granted. The song tells the poignant story of a son who wishes for just one more day, or even one more moment, with his dad. However, it not only brought back memories of moments spent with my dad but also memories of cherished times with grandparents and other loved ones who are no longer with us.”
He continued by stating, “In today’s fast-paced society, a reminder to slow down and savor life is essential. There will come a time for all of us when we can’t pick up the phone and call a friend or loved one because they are gone. We only get one chance at life, and this song reminds me of how important it is to make the most of it with those who mean the most to us. Sometimes music has a way of saying things that we just can’t get out otherwise, and this song definitely did that for me. I hope it does the same for everyone who hears it.”
“Songs that move you. Songs that touch you. That’s what Chosen Road is all about, and “I Wish I Had One More” is gonna hit you right in the heart. I lost my Dad many years ago, and the first time I heard their recording of this song, it really hit me hard. It’s music with meaning. Do yourself a favor – turn it up and listen closely,” exclaims Jerry Salley, A&R/creative director of Thoroughbred Records.
