Vince Gill Performs ‘Price of Regret’ at the Oklahoma Hall of Fame Ceremony

You know that feeling when you’re sitting alone and memories just start flooding back—some sweet, some a little bittersweet? That’s exactly what Price of Regret captures. The first time I listened to it, I felt like the song was reading pages out of my own diary. It’s not just about past mistakes; it’s about the weight those memories carry and how they shape who we become.

The artist really poured their soul into this one. From the haunting melody that lingers long after the song ends to the lyrics that hit just a bit too close to home, it’s impossible not to get drawn in. There’s this line—”Counting the cost of moments lost”—that just gets me every time. It reminds me of those crossroads in life where one choice changes everything, and you’re left wondering about the road not taken.

What’s fascinating is how Price of Regret doesn’t wallow in sadness. Instead, it feels like a gentle nudge to embrace our past, learn from it, and maybe even find a little peace along the way. I heard that the song was written after the artist reconnected with an old friend, which makes it even more personal. It’s like they’re sharing a piece of their own journey with us, inviting us to reflect on ours.

If you haven’t listened to it yet, I’d definitely recommend giving it a spin—preferably with a cup of tea and some quiet time to really let it sink in. It’s one of those songs that feels like a conversation with a close friend, the kind that leaves you feeling both reflective and strangely comforted
