Rascal Flatts es uno de esos nombres que resuenan con fuerza en la historia de la música country. Desde sus humildes comienzos hasta convertirse en superestrellas internacionales, su viaje ha sido inspirador. El grupo, conocido por sus voces armoniosas y su capacidad para evocar emociones profundas, ha dejado una huella indeleble en el panorama musical.
La historia de Rascal Flatts se remonta a finales de la década de 1990, en Columbus, Ohio. El grupo está compuesto por Gary LeVox (vocalista principal), Jay DeMarcus (bajista y vocalista) y Joe Don Rooney (guitarrista y vocalista). Jay y Gary son primos y habían estado tocando juntos en clubes locales cuando decidieron que era momento de formar una banda. Joe Don se unió a ellos poco tiempo después, y juntos encontraron una química musical incomparable.
En 1999, la banda firmó un contrato con Lyric Street Records, y al año siguiente lanzaron su álbum debut homónimo, Rascal Flatts. El álbum incluyó éxitos como "Prayin' for Daylight" y "I'm Movin' On", que rápidamente se colocaron en los primeros lugares de las listas country. La mezcla de melodías pegajosas y letras emotivas capturó la atención de millones de oyentes.
El lanzamiento de su segundo álbum, Melt, en 2002, consolidó su lugar en la industria. La canción "These Days" se convirtió en su primer sencillo número uno en las listas de Billboard de música country. Tras este éxito, el grupo lanzó en 2004 Feels Like

It must've been in a place so dark you couldn't feel the light
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little hometown
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Roundin' third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage, you shined just like the sun
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
And was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, oh, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place
Oh, why? There's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain?
Oh, but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong, they lied, and now you're gone, and we cried
'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
Your beautiful song, your absolutely beautiful song
