NASHVILLE, TN. – Journey through the mind of a 95-year-old man, as Caitlin Quisenberry delivers his wise words of resilience, loss and regret in “I Always Wanted To”. Written by Allen Shamblin, Tom Douglas (writers of Miranda Lambert’s hit “The House That Built Me”) and Jordyn Shellhart, this song is a guaranteed tearjerker. GRAMMY-Nominated producer, Sal Oliveri (#1 with P!nk and Chris Stapleton), composed dynamic instrumentation that masterfully mirrors Caitlin’s emotive vocal style.

“I’ve been aching to record this song for over a year now,” says Caitlin. “When it was pitched to me, I immediately fell in love with it, but it was quickly snatched up by another artist – Cody Johnson. When I heard him sing it, coupled with the fact that he is one of my favorite artists, my desire to cover his song was put into motion. The lyrics are both sad and inspirational. They remind me of my aging grandparents and all they’ve gone through; but at the same time, the words have also inspired me to do the things ‘I always wanted to’ do. It’s not often when a song is so powerful it changes the trajectory of your life, and that’s what this song has done for me.”
