Friday Instagram post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cBrett was the epitome of \u2018cool,\u2019 the singer continued. \u201cI see him in my mind riding up to my cabins to write on his motorcycle\u2026his hair somehow perfectly coiffed despite being under a helmet for however long. I always loved hearing him sing \u2018Cowboy Casanova\u2019 because a sassy girl anthem should\u2019ve sounded ridiculous coming from a macho dude like him, but somehow, he even made that cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
Underwood went on to call James a \u201cgood guy,\u201d recounting one of the ways his character showed through while working together.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember writing with him on a song that he basically wrote 75% of and had ready when he walked in the room. We filled in the blanks and added a little melody and I told him after that I didn\u2019t feel right splitting the credit evenly when he did most of the work,\u201d she reflected. \u201cHe wouldn\u2019t have it. He insisted that everything be equal. He was just that kind of guy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Underwood told fans she and James would sing together at church, noting that he \u201cloved the Lord. Which is the only comfort we can hold on to now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy favorite songs to sing of ours are the ones that he or we wrote about Jesus because the thoughts and feelings behind them are so genuine and pure,\u201d she said about her hit song \u201cJesus, Take the Wheel.\u201d \u201cI won\u2019t ever sing one note of them again without thinking of him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Underwood ended her heartfelt post, admitting that James\u2019 death \u201cis leaving a hole in all of us that I fear won\u2019t ever go away.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will forever be a reminder that this life is but a moment\u2026we have to make the most of each day we\u2019re given here on earth. Each day is a gift,\u201d she concluded before asking for prayers. \u201cLove you, man. I\u2019ll see you again someday.\u201d<\/p>\n
