Released in 2002 on his album Unleashed, this song takes a turn from the usual foot-stomping anthems Keith is known for. Instead, it delves into the quiet ache of a relationship on the rocks. It’s a story many of us can relate to, that feeling of disconnection despite physically being together.
So, if you’re looking for a song that captures the complexities of love, the confusion, and the longing for what once was, then “That’s Not How It Is” is a must-listen. Keith’s signature baritone weaves a tale that’s both relatable and heartbreaking, reminding us that sometimes, the most difficult conversations are the ones we need to have.
