Day 5: A Song That Reminds Me of Someone

Wow. There are so many of these.... Wow. Let's see. I think I'll do the Zac Brown Band "Colder Weather"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oouFE51HcqM

She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in,
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him
stay,
She's answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane

[Chorus:]
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
She said you're a ramblin' man
And you ain't ever gonna change
You gotta gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'

At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln,
The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin',
And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light a
shinin',
He thinks of Colorado
And the girl he left behind him

[Chorus:]
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
She said you're ramblin' man
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/z/zac-brown-band-lyrics/colder-weather-lyrics.html ]
And you ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin' (born for leavin')

Well it's a windin road
When you're in the lost and found
You're a lover I'm a runner
And we go 'round 'n 'round
And I love you but I'll leave you
I don't want you but I need you
You know it's you who calls me back here, Baby

Oh I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
Cause I'm a ramblin' man
I ain't ever gonna change
I gotta gypsy soul to blame
And I was born for leavin' (born for leavin')

When I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
But I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait till then
I can't wait till then

Day 4: A Song That Makes Me Sad

Well, there are a lot of these, but for today, I think I'll go with "I'll Wait For You" by Joe Nichols. I love him. He has an incredible voice. Incredible. This song is pretty sad though. I find it really sad that this girl waits for her so called "sweetheart" all the time and it seems fairly regular that he's late doesn't seem worth waiting for to me. But, love, you can't explain it, I guess. So, anyways. This song always makes me sad for 2 reasons.
1. Because she loves him so much and he just doesn't seem worth it. He's always late when he should have been early.
2. Because it's impossible to wait for someone at Heaven's gates. When you get to heaven, you won't want to wait for someone from earth, no matter how much you love them. You'll want to go see God! So, yeah, I find that sad.

Here are the lyrics and a link to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu6HyN-OoDQ

The snow in Montana was three feet high
The lady at the counter said: There ain't no flights
And so he called her on the telephone
He said: I'll rent a car and I'll drive home

And she said: I'll wait for you
Like I did last year
At Christmas time with your family here
And your truck broke down out in San Antone
And the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe Deville
Talkin' to the one he loves and always will
His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone
Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home
She says: I'll wait for you like in '68
When our child was due, but I said, he'll have to wait
Until his dad gets here and stands by my side
Remember, Dear, our son's first cry
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

He didn't stop all day to eat a bite
And he finally got there around midnight
The doctor said, she's in a better place
She said to give this you this note just in case

And it said, I'll wait for you at Heaven's gate
Oh, I don't care how long it takes
And I'll tell Saint Pete I can't come in
Without my love and my best friend
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
P.S. I love you, too
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

Day 3: A Song That Makes Me Happy

Bram, you mentioned this on my last post, but a song that makes me happy is "Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not?" by Thompson Square. I encourage you to not only listen to this song, but to watch the music video. It's really cute. :)

We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof
Talkin' bout everything under the moon
With the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume
All I could think about was my next move
Oh, but you were so shy and so was I
Maybe that's why it was so hard to believe
When you smiled and said to me

Are you gonna kiss me or not
Are we gonna do this or what
I think you know I like you a lot
But you're bout to miss your shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not

It was the best dang kiss that I'd ever had
Except for that long one after that
And I knew if I wanted this thing to last
Sooner or later I'd have to ask
For your hand
So I took a chance
Bought a wedding band
And I got down on one knee
And you smiled and said to me

Are you gonna kiss me or not
Are we gonna do this or what
I think you know I love you a lot
I think we've got a real good shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not

So, we planned it all out for the middle of June
From the wedding cake to the honeymoon
And your momma cried when you walked down the aisle
When the preacher man said say I Do
I did, and you did, too
Then I lifted that veil and saw your pretty smile
And I said

Are you gonna kiss me or not
Are we gonna do this or what
Look at all the love that we've got
And it ain't never gonna stop
Are you gonna kiss me or not

Yeah baby I love you a lot
I really think we've got a shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not

So, what do you guys think of this song? I simply think it's sweet. I don't really have much to say about it except, "AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!" So, yeah. Haha. That's what I think about it. I also think that the music and singing is really good. Definitely a song that makes me happy.
Go watch the video!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDUOcHg5ijg

Day 2: My Least Favorite Song

Ok, my least favorite country band is Sugerland. And their most annoying song is....... **drumroll please** "Stuck Like Glue" You should be able to tell from the title that this song is lame. And annoying and stupid and nonsensical. And it's waaayyy too easy to get stuck in your head for long periods of time. BUT. I'm still going to ask you to listen to it. Lemme know if any of you actually LIKE this song. That would be weird. But still. :)
Here's a link, go and listen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iDPw_qjhtM
And here are the lyrics. Even without the music this song is annoying. AUGH. Hate. This. Song.

Mmmm better...mmm better...
Absolutely no one that knows me better
No one that can make me feel sooo goooood
How did we stay so long together?
When everybody, everybody said we never would
And just when I, I start to think they're right
That love has died...

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time?
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue

Some days I don't feel like trying
Some days you know I wanna just give up
When it doesn't matter who's right, fight about it all night
Had enough
You give me that look
"I'm sorry baby let's make up"
You do that thing that makes me laugh
And just like that...

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glue


Whutooo Whutoo

You almost stay out, too stuck together from the ATL
Whutooo Whutoo


Feeling kinda sick?
Just a spoon full of sugar make it better real quick

I say
Whutooo Whutoo
Whatcha gonna do with that?
Whutooo Whutoo
Come on over here with that
Sugar sticky sweet stuff
Come on give me that stuff
Everybody wants some
Melodies that get stuck

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo
Whuthoo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me together, say, it's all I wanna do
I said

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo
I'm stuck on you

Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 1

Hey peeps! So, I've been seeing people do the 30 Day Song Challenge on facebook, and got to thinking, I am going to do a 30 Day Song Challenge on here! But, all the songs will be country, obviously. So, here goes!

Day 1: Your favorite song.

"Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts. LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. :)

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God bless the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

[Chorus]

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God bless the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God bless the broken road
That led me straight to you.

Go listen to this song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZp6pmgbZyU

Scotty

Who's been watching American Idol this season? I have! And I'm loving it! It's so much nicer without Simon, Paula, and Cara. The judges seem to really care about the contestants, give fairly good advice and constructive criticism, and it's just all around a better season this year! Plus, who doesn't think Steven Tyler's hilarious? He makes me laugh out loud over and over when I watch the show. Sure, it's probably the after-effect of the 80's and too many drugs, but still, he cracks me up.
ANYWAY. There's a contestant this year who is an AMAZING country singer. Scotty McCreery. Here's the thing about Scotty. He was born to sing country music. I guarentee you he'll get a contract even if he gets eliminated this week. He's just that good. He's a little bit old school with his country singing style, which is what I like! Not the pop mixed with country that you hear half the time. And he's adorable. He's just so cute. He's got such a little boy face and a deep deep voice and yeah. I just think he's the cutest.
Go listen to a couple of his songs. Here's some links:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjiNxc95pXc - this is his audition video. And believe me when I tell you he sounds EXACTLY like Josh Turner who originally recorded "Your Man"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjSdpmozPO4 - this was for the Elton John theme, and I really enjoyed it. :) Haha, the shout-out to grandma makes me laugh.
Also, here's the thing about Scotty. He's only 17! I mean, he looks 17, but he soooo does not sing like he's 17. It's amazing. He's in high school, was on the baseball team, and now he's in the top 9 on American Idol?? Seriously, how often does that happen? It's pretty awesome.
