These country songs are awesome. Maybe it's just me, but good songs cross over boundaries appealing to just about everyone, even city slickers like me. These short, country songs are wrapped around catchy stories.

1. SOME BEACH [OFFICIAL VIDEO] Blake Shelton, 2004. Funniest song I've ever seen! Thought I'd share a laugh. For those who don't know, "some beach" is a double entendre. The singer "pictures himself" on some beach not lifting a finger.

2. PEOPLE ARE CRAZY [OFFICIAL VIDEO] Billy Currington, 2009. Cheerful tune and a twist ending explains the title of this song.

3. OL' RED [OFFICIAL VIDEO] Blake Shelton, 2001. Favorite song of the day! Why did no one tell me about this (cover) song . . . until now?!

4. DRUNK ON A PLANE [OFFICIAL

    I saw Buffalo 40 perform at the DC9, a night club in northwest DC. Buffalo 40 is a rock band that was created in 2013 that combines many musical elements such as “rock funk blues metal and modern rock”(ReverbNation).

Each band member had a black shirt and a pair of jeans on rock musicians usually wear items that are similar to other band members.…

    Garth Brooks Influence Brooks

    “Much To Young (To Feel This Damn Old)” made the top 40 after being released on the radio, but quickly began to wane. Brooks recorded “Friends in Low Places” with his friends so he could make it a fun song for capitol records. One of Brooks hit songs “American Honky-Tonk Bar Association” was not a favorite of the reviewers, they thought that calling it “American Honky- Tonk Bar Association” was the worst mistake ever. This song was on Brooks’ fifth album and became a favorite of country music fans (Wren…

    I Want To Miss A Thing Analysis

    While my parents traveled to and from work everyday, there were a couple of songs they may have heard quite often due to their popularity. If they happened to be listening to the radio when I was born, they more than likely heard the number one song “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith (“Birthday No #1.”), which won the MTV Movie Award for Best Song from a Movie (“Aerosmith Awards.”). Diane Warren, the songwriter, became nominated for an Oscar for the Best Music from an Original Song, won the ASCAP Award for Most Performed Songs from Motion Pictures, and was even nominated for the Grammy Best Song written Specifically for Motion Picture or for Television (“Diane Warren Awards.”). Other songs they may have heard could have been “Candle in the Wind” by Elton John or even “Truly Madly Deeply” by Savage Garden ("90s Hits – Billboard #1s.”). Other than listening to songs, my parents often found themselves sitting on a comfortable couch watching a hit TV show.…

    2016 Democratic Convention Analysis

    The soundtrack to the 2016 Democratic convention is not only to please the ears of those present, but also to excite supporters and potential supporters nationwide through multi-platform distribution, including, but not limited to TV, social media, and the general media. Naturally, the target audience is younger and more liberal than that of the Republican convention. However, even among Democrats, the day should especially appeal to a younger, more liberal audience as the three major speeches will be delivered by Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney, Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders who represent a position slightly further left than most ‘mainstream’ Democrats today. The ten songs to be played were divided into those for television…

    A Song In The Front Yard Analysis

    In the fifth line, Brooks declares that she “[wants] to go in the back yard now,” representing how she has now grown up enough and is ready to go out on her own. In the sixth line, she says that she may want to go “down the alley,” illustrating how she has become more rebellious than before and wants to experience even more than she did before. In the first stanza, Brooks only wanted to “peek at the back,” but now she wants to go in the back and go down the alley. The “alley” is used to represent the extremities Brooks will go to in order to change her life. The “alley” is so far away from what she is used to in the front yard, so she wants to go there in order to experience all that she can.…

    Hey Ya !: Song Analysis

    OutKast, a popular rap group throughout the nineties and early 2000s, has a renowned song entitled “Hey Ya!” which features the smooth flows of Andre 3000 and hard hitting rhymes of Big Boi. The song has been a huge hit for years and is virtually known by every American under the age of thirty. When the song was released in 2003, I was just three years old, but had already adopted my dad’s love for music and I frequented the kitchen tile as my dance floor whenever music was playing. OutKast’s song “Hey Ya!” holds a different weight than most other songs I grew up around because it is one of few memories I remember vividly about my childhood.…

    Bob Marley Is This Love Analysis

    When it comes down to the songs that will play in the movie of my life, these songs would be dramatic. Every song would have a different meaning, and more attention, destruct and love in it than the last. There are certain songs that are more committed to a certain time or event that has happened. Some are due to it being the song we sang when at the time, some being the lyrics that stuck years later yet most are because of the feeling when the song is first heard. Going as far back that I can remember, most of the songs that I would hear would be on the car rides to school or camp.…
