Little Goodbyes & Goodbye Says it All

Hmm, could it be may just be related to?  Nahh.

You never listen when I talk// Maybe you'll listen when I walk 

But no more wasted words on me// No, she kept short and sweet

But every light in the house is on// Everything is gone

Empty hangers by the closet door // Lipstick tube on the bathroom floor

Nahh, clearly the two songs have nothing in common.  I mean its not like they fit together rather well, and it's not like they came out kinda around the same time or could have inspired one another.  Completely random, yep that's it.

Songs quoted are:

Blue: Blackhawk- Goodbye Says It all

Purple: SHeDAISY- Little Goodbyes

Lyrics don't belong to me and are used here to make a humors point.

Free And Easy (Down The Road I Go) & Last Dollar

Just wondering if anyone knows who or what 'Ragweed' is.  No, not the plant, I mean 'Ragweed's rockin' on the radio'  A band I assume? Yeah no idea at all.

This one goes on my list of happy fun songs. 

Play it back to back with Tim McGraw's Last Dollar (Fly Away) for an even happier mix.

Both have that worry about nothing feel that makes you want to blast them while driving. (Helps 'Free & Easy' mentions driving several times.)  Still the best times to listen to some songs is when your in motion, just remember not to speed.

'Last Dollar' does have an adorable feel that 'Free & Easy' lacks when it brings in the children singing.  To be honest when I got the CD with 'Last Dollar' I spent a bit of time just listening to the kids part.  The video, if you have not seen it has an even greater 'aww factor' when it actually shows the kids in the studio.

'Free & Easy ' has a bit of a more adult feel then 'Last Dollar' due to it's lyrics.  Both pretty much are about enjoying lift to it's fullest.

So any ideas about that Ragweed thing?

Sarah Buxton, Outside My Window

Ever just heard a happy fun song, went oh that's cute, then went to watch the video and kinda gone 'wait what'?  This is that song, 'Outside My Window.'  The song is cute, the video is kinda a bit... goofy for lack of a better word.  It has a very hippy feel to the whole thing.  Not that it's that bad of a thing, it's just kinda a happy video.


To be fair and give props where props are due, the lyrics remind me of Creedence Clearwater Revival's Lookin' Out My Backdoor, it's got that same 'goofy' factor, kinda yeah she's looking outside imagining things.  Like this is the way the would should be, and wouldn't it be nice if it was that way.

It is important to keep in mind, this video was made with a budge of about $90 and made on Adobe Premiere (if I have my programs correct, I've been able to stop a few things like after effects and other Premiere elements.)  Given how it turned out, kinda makes one wonder if big budgets are really needed on all of those other videos.


If you decide to watch the video look for other singers, she's got a few that did cameos. I caught two other groups but I may have missed some.

Hunter Hayes - Storm Warning

Wow, just wow.

I'll be honest, first time I heard Storm Warning I swore it was a Rascal Flatts song.  I've been hearing it the past few nights, but it wasn't till today I actually looked into who it really was.  I was pleasantly surprised to find it was in fact a new singer.

His music style is a mix of Jesse McCartney, and Rascal Flatts, and to be honest he does remind me of Jesse in his video.  He's got some great vocals, and if his video is any indication he's very talented.  The video shows him playing various instruments, not sure if it's done for dramatic effects or if he really does play them all.  I know he at least plays the guitar.

I've listened to another song, acoustic, that he has on youtube, which if it is an indication of his new CD it should be a great buy.  I'm planning on getting a copy as soon as it's out. 

I honestly hope to see more of Hunter as he gets older and his music style matures.  He's off to a great start from what I've heard and I can't wait to see where he goes in time.

Before you act, think

Before you act, think about what you're saying and doing.  Think of the others your life affects, think of your actions toward them.

What If Jesus Comes Back like That?

Even if you're not 'religious' go and listen if you don't know that Collin Raye song. 

I'm tired of hearing about people putting others down cause they think they are better then others if people work in service jobs.  Someone will always be that person serving you food, or doing some sort of service for you, and I can bet in most cases their doing that job cause they have to, not because they want to.  I work in a service job (delivery), and I've been called 'stupid' and other not to nice words just because something out of my control happened.  I am not stupid, I'm doing my job because I have college loans to pay off, a house to pay for, and people that rely on my job to eat.  Snide comments about how stupid/slow I am to mess up a paper actually do hurt, and no I can't control what's in the paper.  I'm college educated, and I have a start up business, I'm definitely not the trash people seem to think I am.  My job pays my bills (kinda... ish...)

The entire point of this is 'think.' People you talk to are real people, just like you.


So, what if Jesus comes back like that? Will he cry when he sees where YOUR heart is at?

Chris Young, Tomorrow

Sorry, not matter what way I play it or watch it, Tomorrow comes across as a guy who wants one last booty call before he ditches the girl.  While the video does make it look more like she's leaving him not the other way around the lyrics still don't quite tell that story.

My roommate who loves this song will probably hate me for this blog, but lets break down this song a bit.

"Tomorrow I'm gonna leave here" - Okay so the guy knows he's leaving, he's made that up in his mind, no way to change it.

"But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow" -So a booty call? 'Hey hon lets have sex like we normally do, I'm not gonna tell you that I'm gonna leave you though.

"And tomorrow, You won't believe it// But, when I pass your house" - So you just admitted she doesn't know you're leaving her, nice guy you are.

Mmk, so if she doesn't know you're leaving, you two have sex and she gets pregnant what then?  Bye hun, left you with a present?  Sorry but there is no way a song that advocates a last booty call then running away can be romantic or even good to me.  If your gonna bang her and run, at least tell her so she's not expecting you to stop by 'Tomorrow.'
