Introduction

McCreery – “This Is It”

Well now, let’s settle in and take a listen to a tune that I think many of you will find yourselves nodding along to, maybe even reaching for a hand to hold. This one comes to us from Scotty McCreery, a young man with an old soul when it comes to country music. You might remember him from his time on American Idol, where he captured hearts with that deep, resonant voice of his. He’s grown up quite a bit since then, both as a man and as an artist, and this particular song, “This Is It,” really showcases that maturity.

Released back in 2018, “This Is It” isn’t some high-flying, foot-stomping anthem, though Scotty certainly has those in his repertoire. Instead, this is a beautifully crafted ballad, the kind that speaks directly to the heart of enduring love. It’s the sort of song that makes you think about those pivotal moments in life, those promises made and kept, the comfort of knowing you’ve found your person.

What I appreciate so much about “This Is It” is its sincerity. It feels genuine, like Scotty isn’t just singing words on a page, but sharing a piece of his own story. And in that story, many of us will recognize echoes of our own journeys. Think back to those early days of courtship, the nervous excitement, the growing certainty that this was something special. Remember the moment you knew, truly knew, that this was the one?

This song beautifully encapsulates that feeling, that profound sense of “this is it.” It paints a picture of a love that’s not just a fleeting romance, but a deep-rooted commitment. It talks about building a life together, brick by brick, through thick and thin. It’s about looking into someone’s eyes and seeing not just your present, but your future, a future you eagerly anticipate sharing.

The melody itself is gentle and warm, wrapping around Scotty’s rich vocals like a comforting embrace. It builds gradually, much like a relationship deepens over time, reaching a heartfelt crescendo that truly tugs at the emotions. You can almost picture a couple on their wedding day, or perhaps years down the line, still looking at each other with that same spark of devotion.

So, as we listen to “This Is It,” let it take you back to those significant moments in your own life. Maybe it’ll remind you of the day you said “I do,” or the quiet evenings spent simply enjoying each other’s company. It’s a testament to the power of steadfast love, the kind that weathers any storm and only grows stronger with time. It’s a reminder that in this sometimes chaotic world, finding that one true connection is a precious and beautiful thing. Let’s have a listen.

Lyrics

Way up in the mountains, four thousand feet high
There’s a trail through the trees to a cliff where Carolina meets the sky
Oh, and there’s a view I just can’t describe
No, we’re not there yet, just a few more steps, baby, wait
Okay, you can open your eyes
This is it, this is now
This is what I’ve been talkin’ ’bout
Lookin’ out, can’t you see forever?
Take my hand, just take it in
This is a moment we won’t forget
On top of the world, here, together
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss
This is it
Girl, I know that you’ve been waitin’ and talkin’ to your friends
Wonderin’ if and wonderin’ where and wonderin’ when
Well, I’ve been waitin’ too, holdin’ onto this ring
And for the right words to say, for the right time and place, for me
To get on one knee
This is it, this is now
This is what I’ve been talkin’ ’bout
Lookin’ out, can’t you see forever?
Take my hand, just take it in
This is a moment we won’t forget
On top of the world here together
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss
Well, this is it
This is it
Now you’re walkin’ down the aisle
And I can’t help but smile
This is it, this is now
It’s what I’ve been talkin’ ’bout
Lookin’ out, I can see forever
So take my hand, just take it in (take it in)
This is a moment we won’t forget (won’t forget)
On top of the world, here, together
Surrounded by our family and our friends
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss
This is it
Yeah, this is it…
