On Sunday, country music star Keith Urban became the 2019 ACM Awards Entertainer of the Year winner! Check out his candid reaction here!
Country music superstar Keith Urban nabbed the 2019 ACM Awards Entertainer of the Year award on Sunday night (4/7) and it’s been a long time coming!
“I’ve been nominated nine times and at some point I came to terms and accepted that the nomination is the award,” Urban confessed to reporters after accepting the honor. “I don’t know how things go that way sometimes. I love what I get to do and put everything into it, and I know all the others do to, so thank you God. Really.”
During his speech, the hit-maker gave his wife, actress Nicole Kidman, a special shout-out. “Baby girl, I love you so much.”
Keith and Nicole also recorded a heartfelt message backstage with the 2019 ACM Awards Entertainer of the Year envelope and shared it on Instagram. Their reactions are so thoughtful!
While Urban is thankful for the awards he has earned throughout his career, his main focus remains on his music.
“I’m always trying to do that. Win, lose or draw as far as awards go, I’m already thinking about the studio right now, and eventually putting on another live show,” he explained.
“For me, it’s always about trying to find new ways to connect, and I love country music. I love the massive spectrum of colors that it is. I hope what we eventually get to hear and see is all of its colors represented, because it’s a huge genre. It’s not one thing… I love what’s happening now with all of it starting to get represented.”
“Burden” Lyrics
Let me carry your burden
If somethin’ ain’t right I will let you know
Like the paint that’s drying on a heart that’s broke
Let me carry your burden
Get you back on a high when you’re feeling low
When the weight’s too heavy but you won’t let go
Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you awhile
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile and you know you will
No matter how much you’re hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time
So let me carry your burden
Let me carry your burden
When your mouth’s on fire but your mind is cold
And you’re fanning flames that won’t keep you warm
Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you a while
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile and you know you will
No matter how much you’re hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time
Let me carry your burden, oh brother of mine
Let me carry your burden
Come tomorrow you’ll be right as rain
It’ll quench your fire, wash away your stains
Yes it will, yeah
Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you a while
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile and you know you will
Oh it don’t matter how much you’re hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time
I just might see it in another life
I got no dog here in the fight
I could carry your burden, oh brother of mine
I could carry your burden
I could carry your burden
Carry your burden
Yes I can, yes I can
