Song’s Interpretation
Getting over a breakup is the subject of the story “More and More.” It is difficult if the person you love abandoned you or if things did not work out between you two. However, only time can make yesterday’s pain go away. Similar to Pierce’s song, you must go through all the stages of getting over someone before the wounds may start to heal more completely day by day.
About Webb Pierce’s Songs
Webb was a skilled talent scout when it came to identifying tunes that he could make his very own, even though he was responsible for writing a number of his best popular songs. Mel Tillis, who would later pen “Ruby Don’t Take Your Love To Town” and become one of the biggest performers of the 1970s, was one of the first people to see his brilliance. Developed Mel’s skill in the middle of the 1950s, and some of Webb Pierce’s Songs, including “I Ain’t Never,” “Honky Tonk Song,” and “I’m Tired,” were hits and exemplified the Webb Pierce sound.
