Another example of lyrics not matching the song beat.
Drunk on You
Not sure what I expected, but it wasn't a love-song-ish-thing. First few seconds of the song I was thinking again it would be a sad song.
Take the music, remix it with a woman singer, and different lyrics, make it about a lost love, bam instant winner. Take the lyrics to this one, speed up music a bit, add a better beat, yep another winner.
Really I wish singers would listen to their own songs before they released them on the radio... or maybe that's the problem here...

The Breath You Take - George Strait
Saddest 'happy' country song I've ever heard.
Lyrics are decent, the music choice quite frankly sucks.
Take a listen.
I hear that music and I instantly want to start crying.
Is the song really that sad? Nope. The only part that is a bit sad is: "Just like it took my breath away when dad took his last that morn" Understandably sad, every song will be sad when dad/daddy dies. The rest though? Happy moments with dad? I think not if you go by the music.
Really, almost any music selection would have better fit this song.

Craig Campbell- When I Get It
When I Get It
Not to sure if this will really work, but hey it's worth a try right?
Could almost be the theme for a good many of people today. Not putting people down or anything but ya know, back in the real world.
Country music has almost always told stories about the truth, how it is. It may have run off down the road to an ideal fantasy for a bit, but I'm glad to see it's getting back to it's roots a bit more now.

Fear for the future of country
It's been said to me people can no longer tell the difference between 'country' and 'rock' and I can see why. I just heard a song and had it not been for a 'twang' I would have thought I was listening to a rock station.
Nothing wrong with putting some drive in your country, just don't forget your roots.

Over played artists
Alan Jackson is apparently coming to my area for a concert. How did I know? They played two of his songs randomly in the same hour.
Now I do like Alan, really I do, but I don't want to hear non stop Alan Jackson songs for the next few weeks.
I get that the radio stations are happy someone is 'coming to town' but really playing 2-4 of their songs an hour does not make me want to see them at all. By the time I'd get to that concert I'd be so sick and tired of them I'd probably leave as soon as I heard one of the songs they've over played.
I do know Alan has loads of songs, some of them you never hear on the radio, and I would be fine with over playing them IF they would play all of his songs. When was the last time anyone played Litte Bitty, Chasing That Neon Rainbow, or even www.memory? (Never actually heard www.memory on the radio before actually...)
