"The Path Of Least Resistance"

There's a certain novelty that comes with hearing a song that not many of heard before.  I can't tell you what about it that makes me want to keep discovering these 'unheard' songs, but I want to hear these hidden gems and share them with the world.  And for some reason, I have found the songs that have yet to be released are always the best.

So, let me introduce you to a song that I cannot get enough of...When I first heard this song, I thought it could possibly be one the prettiest, most beautiful melodies I had ever heard.  Then, I started analyzing these lyrics...and then I lost it.

By nature, we gravitate and excel at certain things.  And most of the time, the things that are easy are what we become passionate about.  However, I'd never realized that same theory could be applied to a relationship...apparently Sarah Buxton, Gordie Sampson, and Jedd Hughes did.  I think Carrie Underwood needs to record this song ASAP...only a seasoned artist could take this song where it needs to go...better yet, I think Sarah Buxton should release this, this vocal is flawless.  The chemistry in this song is undeniable.  I have never heard a song like this that sounded like a lullaby before...just stunning.
I just need to say, the imagery within these lyrics is mesmerizing.  That line, "All the stars burned electric, there was nothing we could do but give into each other in one free easy move" just takes my breath away every time I hear it!  Close your eyes, feel this song, and listen to your heart.

Singer: Sarah Buxton
Songwriters: Sarah Buxton, Gordie Sampson, Jedd Hughes
Song: "The Path of Least Resistance"
Last night I had a dream
We sailed the river south
With the wind at our backs
All the way down to it’s mouth  


And the water was so calm 
We could see our own reflection crystal clear

All the stars burned electric
There was nothing we could do
But give in to each other
In one free easy move

Cause when you break it down 
It isn’t rocket science after all

We’re only victims of circumstance
We have no choice but to dance this dance
Who knew that lovin’ you
Would lead me down the path of least resistance

I used to make it hard
I’d just close my eyes and swing
Built walls as high as mountains 
Crooked roads and broken wings 

One day you realize
Love’s not a fighting thing

We’re only victims of circumstance
We have no choice but to dance this dance
Who knew that lovin’ you
Would lead me down the path of least resistance

We’re only victims of circumstance
We have no choice but to dance this dance
Who knew that lovin’ you
Would lead me down the path of least resistance
