The Value of Country Music
It is no secret to anyone long term reader of this blog that I love country music. I am aware that many people do not like country music and that is fine. I have been looking at the reasons that I enjoy country music so much. The reason I love it so much is that it speaks of honour and a manner of chivalry which seems long since past. I have been listening a lot to a song called The Facts of Life by Adam Gregory. The lyrics that keep going around in my head are these. "You better shoot straight and have faith that your prayers are heard. When you give a handshake, make no mistake, you're giving your word." There have been so many times in the past that I have found a handshake or a promise of truth not enough to ensure the validity of a statement. Sometimes it is hard to have faith that you prayers are heard. Country music has no problem drawing on faith as inspiration or speaking openly about that. As annoying as some country music is, it can bring me to tears and it calls upon an era of chivalry that has long since been forgotten. That is why I love it.

I like country music too, one of the reasons is the one you mentioned here. The other reason is that country music tends to have a more recongnizable (dare I say singable?) melody than a lot of the auto-tuned pop/dance stuff out there. Dont' get me wrong, that stuff has it's place, but country music makes me feel stronger emotions.
p.s., after a 2 year hiatus, I am reviving my blog :) check it out!
