Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty: Chart Rewind, 1978

About the Song

Ah, Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, a true country music power couple. Their iconic voices together created magic, weaving tales of love, loss, and everything in between. Today, we set our sights on a song from their 1973 album, Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man, a record that cemented their status as country royalty. The song we’ll be diving into is Our Conscience You And Me.

Now, Our Conscience You And Me ain’t exactly sunshine and daisies. It tackles a theme that’s as old as time itself: forbidden love. Twitty and Lynn play two characters caught in a passionate affair, one that tears at the edges of their morals. The title itself hints at the internal struggle – a love so strong it battles with their conscience, with a third person, likely a spouse, left in the shadows.

This song might resonate with folks who’ve lived a life and understand the complexities of love. It’s not always black and white, and sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants, even if the head knows better. Our Conscience You And Me explores that tension, the yearning for someone you can’t fully have, and the guilt that can come with stolen moments. So, if you’re ready to take a journey into the world of forbidden love, with a healthy dose of steel guitar and Conway and Loretta’s signature vocals, then let’s hit play on Our Conscience You And Me.
