Just over £100k has been allocated to providing outdoor exercise equipment, playground apparatus, an all-weather running track, wet weather shelter, new seating and wilding improvements at the playing fields at Aylwards Way in Nether Wallop. The move will see almost £270k go towards the construction of a new sports pavilion at the Alan Evans Memorial Ground, Salisbury Lane, Over Wallop. 1.The creation of a brand new sports pavilion at Over Wallop and rebuilding the stage house at the Plaza Theatre in Romsey are two of four local projects that will benefit from a major funding boost after Test Valley Borough Council agreed to allocate more than £500k towards a range of schemes.Ĭouncillors backed a report at a meeting on Wednesday 25 January to award the money from the authority’s Community Projects Reserve (CPR). These have presumably been included for artistic effect only, and given Country Radio's traditional aversion to lyrics such as these, it makes it all the more impressive that ‘One Thing At A Time’ is en route to No. It's worth underlining that, although Wallen has cited struggles with alcoholism in the past, there's never been any suggestion that he's ever dabbled in any of the harder substances mentioned in the middle verses. “I ain't no Superman, I'm just the way I am If I'm gonna move on, then I need me something in my hand Ain't nothing wrong with that And if you ain't comin' back” The underlying implication throughout ‘One Thing At A Time’ is that, if the ex decides to take him back, he'll happily quit smoking, drinking and all the other vices that Wallen references in the song. The song's protagonist cleverly turns this around, emphasising that, if he's having to let go of their relationship, then he has no plans on turning away from anything else for the foreseeable future. The lyrics are conveyed in response to an ex-lover's off-stage remark that he needs to relinquish all the harmful habits he's picked up in recent years.

Nonetheless, in this instance, Morgan Wallen never deviates from the levity that is laced into the title-track's DNA, as he reiterates that he's only planning on giving up one thing. If you ain't gonna kiss me Then I'll take some whiskey, some Grizzly Nicotine, amphetamines too You want me to stop some of that Or you want me to stop loving you? Hey, what you want me to do?” “I know I got me some problems About a thousand memories I gotta forget But if I'm gonna solve them Baby, I'll take all the help I can get” The album is underpinned by a willingness from Wallen to be vulnerable and open about his flaws and failings, many of which seem to revolve around alcohol, particularly on the likes of ‘Born With A Beer In My Hand’ and ‘Dying Man’. “ I can either burn the bar down Or I can take your number out my phone I can give you up right now And never want you back long as I'm half-stoned If you want me to quit you, want me to get you Outta my heart and, baby, off my mind I hate to tell you, girl, but I'm only quittin' one thing at a time”Īfter the first hook, Morgan Wallen references the weightier subject matter that he explores on other One Thing At A Time offerings. It's upbeat, fun and light-hearted, with Wallen coasting through the song with a tongue-in-cheek smile on his face, a strong drink in one hand and a freshly lit cigarette in the other.Īlthough this venom adds a compelling, alluring edge to these broken-hearted fire-starters, on ‘One Thing At A Time’ this unfriendliness is replaced by a welcome sense of charm.Īfter he's set the scene through the opening two verses, Morgan Wallen delivers the playful ultimatum to his ex: he's only quitting one thing for now, and it's up to her what that'll be. ‘One Thing At A Time’ is not one of those songs. Many songs on the album soberly and seriously tackle Morgan Wallen's encounters with alcohol abuse as a means of numbing the pain of lost love. Ryan Vojtesak also receives a credit, with the songwriter-producer having had a hand in producing a number of other One Thing At A Time tracks under his moniker, ‘Charlie Handsome’.


Given the fact that another of Nashville's songwriting maestros, Ashley Gorley, was in the writing room when ‘One Thing At A Time’ was crafted, it's no surprise that it's turned out to be a certified smash. Keep watching for the reveal 👀 It's not unusual for artists to switch between genres, but this one definitely surprised us! 😜 #lukecombs #morganwallen #zachbryan #kanebrown #ernest #baileyzimmerman #trending #fyp #musicoftiktok ♬ original sound - Holler
