This song moves us to tears and touches my soul every time. Vince Gill, you are unmatched!

“Look At Us” by Vince Gill stands out as a profoundly touching ballad, earning its place among the greatest love anthems in country music, especially beloved for celebrating anniversaries.

Launched in September 1991 from his “Pocket Full of Gold” album, the track saw commercial acclaim, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and was crowned Song Of The Year at the 1992 Country Music Association Awards. With its deep lyrics and melody, the song pays homage to love that withstands time and adversity, embodying the essence of unwavering devotion.

The refrain “Look at us” acts as a powerful reminder of the marvel of enduring love, emphasizing the couple’s solid support and commitment to each other. Its narrative speaks to anyone who has known profound, enduring love, giving the song a timeless appeal. Gill, who co-authored the song with Max D. Barnes, dedicated it to his then-wife, Janis, as a tribute to their union.

The track is notably characterized by John Hughey’s emotive “crying steel” guitar opening, adding to its distinctiveness. Although originally a homage to his marriage with Janis, which concluded in 1998, the song’s resonance extends beyond Gill’s personal story, affirming its everlasting charm and wide-reaching relevance.
