In 2018, Monument recording artist Walker Hayes was touring across the pond when he found himself missing his wife, and that is when the inspiration behind his current single “Don’t Let her” was born. Pull out the Kleenex and brace yourself for the sweetest love letter you’ve ever heard (don’t say I didn’t warn you).
While our plans are to be with our significant others until death do us part, things can happen to change the end of the story. For Walker, delivering a memo to the next guy in his wife’s life is paramount; from her favorite flower, to how she likes her coffee, or her little insecurities. The critical message Walker drives home is: don’t let her miss him. The rawness and openness of “Don’t Let her” just pulls at your heartstrings, making the story-line engaging for all:
Home is her favorite restaurant
Don’t you dare come home if you’re hammered
Better watch your mouth and your grammar
She loves babies, hates glitter
Walker has an exceptional talent when it comes to song writing and composing his songs. His style in his music works perfectly with both his fast paced, happy songs and his more heartwarming songs. “Don’t Let Her” starts with a clean and slow beat, but quickly gathers momentum giving it a catchy rhythm. This approach really allows Walker the freedom to express what he is singing about. His sound is unique in the country music genre, and his ability to deliver energetic lyrics in his speak/sing format truly makes him a stand out. “Don’t Let Her” boils down to letting the next guy and Laney know that everything will be OK. Although the subject is a sensitive one, the lightheartedness of the lyrics makes it charming.
