(AUDIO) RASCAL FLATTS WOULD ENCOURAGE THEMSELVES TO SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE

current single: “I DARE YOU” with The Jonas Brothers

Rascal Flatts has had a pretty storied career with so many milestones and achievements over the past 25+ years, and when Jay DeMarcus looks back at all that has happened for the band, he says there’s one thing he would definitely change if he could go back in time.

Rascal Flatts – one thing go back and change :40

Jay DeMarcus – “The one thing that I wish we would’ve spent a little more time doing was enjoying the ride while we were on it. In the mid-2000s there when we were on a real hot streak and we were winning awards and seven vocal group of the year awards in a row and having number ones and selling millions of records, I don’t think it really dawned on any of us what rarefied air we were actually in at the time, and being able to fully take that in and enjoy it and slow down enough to look around and go, gosh, this is a chance of a lifetime that we may never see again. I wish I could go back and tell ourselves, ‘Hey, while you’re in the middle of this ride, just slow down, take a deep breath and take it all in because it really is pretty special.’”
