Who among us hasn\u2019t loved \u201cHow Forever Feels\u201d since the minute Kenny Chesney released it in 1998? It was everything we loved back then \u2014 and still love about 90s country music now \u2014 like an abundance of fiddle, vocals packed with twang, and a sweetheart of a marriage proposal. <\/p>\n

But today we\u2019re looking back at some of our archives, thinking about the song that Wendell Mobley and Tony Mullins wrote, and reminiscing about how Tim McGraw had it first. <\/p>\n

According to<\/a> Billboard<\/em>, before the song went to Chesney, it went to his good friend McGraw. <\/p>\n

The two country stars have been friends since the days before they were country stars. In 1991, when they were both playing the Nashville club circuit, they met<\/a> at Mack\u2019s Cafe, a meat-and-three near Vanderbilt University. Since then, the two have stayed close, toured together, been arrested<\/a> together, and collaborated<\/a> on a song together. <\/p>\n

Come down memory lane with us and listen to both takes on \u201cHow Forever Feels.\u201d<\/p>\n
