About the Song
Alright, settle in folks, and let’s take a trip down memory lane with a classic from the one and only Conway Twitty. This song, called “First Things First”, came out back in 1983, but the story it tells is timeless. Now, Conway was known for his smooth baritone voice and his way of weaving tales about love, loss, and the sometimes-complicated lives we lead. “First Things First” is no different.
This one here with a little bit of a wink and a nudge, a story about a fella who finds himself in an unexpected situation. Now, some of you might remember the blind date jitters, that feeling of never knowing quite what you’re walking into. Well, that’s exactly where our boy Conway finds himself at the start of the song. He’s not a big fan of blind dates, but here he is, standing on the doorstep, ready for whatever the evening might bring.
But what he finds on the other side of that door throws him for a loop. Let’s just say, this particular date has her own unique way of looking at things, a philosophy you might call it. And that philosophy, well, it’s wrapped up right there in the title of the song: “First Things First”. We don’t know exactly what that means just yet, but Conway’s about to get a whole new perspective, maybe even a little schooling, on how to approach an evening out. So, put your feet up, grab a sweet tea, and get ready for a fun, light-hearted story with a catchy tune, all thanks to the legendary Conway Twitty and his unforgettable “First Things First”.
