Dale Earnhardt Jr. understands the pain of losing a father. After hearing Cole Swindell’s “You Should Be Here,” he contacted Swindell to share advice about losing someone he loved.
Cole joined Dale on “The Dale Jr. Download” podcast to discuss how the song inspired Dale Jr. to contact Cole, even though they had never met.
According to Dale, “When I first heard it, you immediately connect the comparisons – he lost his dad, I lost my dad. He wrote the song about that, it absolutely word for word fits anyone who’s ever lost their dad; that song just plugs right into all the emotions.”
Earnhardt explained that even though years have gone by since his father’s passing, there are experiences and people that he wishes he could tell his father about.
