Merle Haggard & Tammy Wynette “Today I Started lovin’ You Ag

“Today I Started Loving You Again” is more than just a melody—it’s a journey back to the heart’s deepest feelings, reignited when least expected. Co-written and performed by Merle Haggard, alongside his band The Strangers, this song first graced the airwaves as a B-side in 1968, but its impact has far outlasted its initial release. What makes this song resonate so deeply with its listeners is its raw, emotional honesty. It’s about rediscovery and the resurgence of love, themes that echo in the quiet moments of many lives.

This track stands as a testament to the timeless allure of country music’s ability to speak to the soul. Haggard’s voice, weathered yet warm, carries a weight that feels both personal and universal. It’s as if he’s confiding in you over a cup of coffee, his voice rough with emotion, recounting a personal tale of love lost and found again. The simple, lilting melody paired with the earnest lyrics creates a space where listeners can find reflections of their own regrets and reconciliations.

“Today I Started Loving You Again” is not just heard; it’s felt. It taps into the shared human experience of falling back in love with someone—or something—that you thought was in the past. It’s about the unexpected moments that catch us off-guard, reminding us of what was and what could still be. This song doesn’t just belong to Haggard; it belongs to anyone who has ever found themselves suddenly and inexplicably drawn back to an old flame, an old passion, or a forgotten part of themselves.
