"How Country Feels"

As much as I complain about country radio...I never say how in love I am with Sirius XM.  They have really brought me out of songwriters demos shell.  I've always been one of those shallow fans of Randy Houser fans.  Fantastic talent but I never really knew a lot about him...so I never bought an album.  BUT, this song made me totally start to fall for him.  Another dream team of songwriters here!
I want to live one day of this song.  Amazing.  I don't know where to start.  The addictive chorus, the amazing hook that comes before the chorus, rare I know, the truck, ahh just watch the video already.

FM Radio:
Singer: Randy Houser
Songwriters: Wendell Mobeley, Neil Thrasher, Vickie McGehee
Song: "How Country Feels"

"Hey Pretty Girl"

What do you listen for when you hear a song?  I listen for emotional, raw, real vulnerability.  Someone's truth that they can only say within 3 minutes and 40 seconds.  I don't care if this Kip Moore is singing about a truck, beer money, or the prettiest girl he's ever seen, I hear it every time.  This guy is something special and it didn't take me long to realize it.

Who wouldn't want this song to be about them?  Kip Moore just won some major points in my book.

FM Radio:
Singer: Kip Moore
Songwriters: Kip Moore, Dan Couch
Song: "Hey Pretty Girl"

Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way
Love's in the air tonightYou can bet you'll make this ol' boy's dayHey pretty girl, won't you look my way

Hey pretty girl, can I have this danceAnd the next one after thatGonna make you mine there's a real good chanceHey pretty girl, can I have this dance


Hey pretty girl, it feels so rightJust like it's meant to beAll wrapped up in my arms so tightHey pretty girl, it feels so right
Life's a long and winding rideBetter have the right one by your sideAnd happiness don't drag its feetTime moves faster than you think 


Hey pretty girl, I wanna take you homeMy momma's gonna love youShe'll make me sleep on the couch, I knowBut hey pretty girl, I wanna take you home


Hey pretty girl, lets build some dreamsAnd a house on a piece of landWe'll lant some roots and some apple treesHey pretty girl, lets build some dreams
Life's a long and winding rideBetter have the right one by your sideHappiness don't drag its feetAnd time moves faster than you think


Hey pretty girl, you did so goodOur baby's got your eyesAnd a fighters heart like I knew she wouldHey pretty girl, you did so good
Hey pretty girl when I see the lightAnd it's my time to goI'm gonna thank the Lord for a real good lifeA Pretty little girl and a beautiful wife



"Hard To Love"

Usually, I cringe at the thought of writing about a 'radio-friendly' song...Unless, it is a song that deserves to earn that title.  Every time I'm listening to the radio, I'm hoping this song comes on.
1. Lee Brice is my husband. (Unofficial)
2. The lyrics, melody, instrumentation, his voice (gahh) is incredible.
3. Listen and melt because Lee Brice is definitely not "Hard To Love."
