“Today I Started Loving You Again” is a classic country song that has touched the hearts of audiences since its release. Written by Merle Haggard in 1967, the track was initially recorded and released by Haggard in 1968 as the B-side to his number one hit, “The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde.” Although it didn’t chart initially, the song gained widespread recognition after Sammi Smith’s 1975 cover, leading to numerous renditions by artists like Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, Jerry Lee Lewis, Martina McBride, and Dolly Parton. ​

The song’s origins are intertwined with Haggard’s personal life. At the time of writing, he was married to Bonnie Owens, who often assisted him in penning his compositions. Haggard penned “Today I Started Loving You Again” with the intention of offering it to Marty Robbins, a close friend and fellow country music legend. However, due to timing constraints, Haggard recorded the song himself, resulting in a timeless classic that showcased his deep emotional connection to the lyrics. ​

The song’s enduring appeal lies in its heartfelt lyrics and the seamless blend of Haggard’s raw, emotive vocals with Robbins’ smooth tenor. Their harmonious collaboration amplifies the song’s themes of rekindled love and emotional vulnerability, making it a standout piece in country music history. ​

“The death of Robin Gibb was not simply the result of fame or life’s choices. It was the heartbreaking conclusion of a journey marked by silent battles — struggles written into his very body long before the world ever knew his name. From the start, Robin carried an invisible burden: hereditary illness that made his health fragile. Decades later, doctors revealed the truth — cancer and intestinal complications that slowly stole his strength. Robin faced other challenges too — chronic pain, drastic weight loss, and relentless exhaustion. To cope, he relied on medications and treatments. What began as survival became a cycle: painkillers to endure, sedatives to sleep, and stimulants to keep performing. He didn’t do it for escape — he did it to keep living, to keep singing, to keep his promise to music and to fans. Food brought little comfort in his later years; his weakened body couldn’t fight back. Yet Robin still pushed himself onto stages, his fragile frame carrying a voice that remained achingly beautiful. Could he have been saved? Perhaps, with today’s science and knowledge, things might have been different. But in his time, no one fully understood the toll of genetic illness and relentless pressure. Robin trusted his doctors. He believed treatment would let him continue, if only a little longer. The sorrow deepened within the Gibb family. Barry, the eldest, bore the agony of watching Maurice and then Robin pass away, each loss tearing away a piece of the Bee Gees’ harmony. Robin’s life was a gift — a voice that was fragile yet haunting, carrying love, sorrow, and a rare humanity. But the world often took without seeing the cost. Behind the glittering disco lights stood a man quietly breaking — not from weakness, but from giving everything and asking for nothing. Robin Gibb was not only a star. He was a man of extraordinary talent with a body that betrayed him. He burned so brightly the world still feels his warmth. Yet his light faded far too soon. That is the part of the story we must remember — not only the legend, but the man who gave it all.”
