Today’s Country Music Friday selections are just the songs that have been spinning around in my head for the last week or two, either because of the artist, the lyrics, or the video. I hope you enjoy!
The First: Not Fooling Anyone by Buddy Brown
So this guy is awesome. I discovered him two weeks ago and have been spending a lot of time listening to all of his originals and covers on youtube. I highly suggest that you do the same. Also: his name is Buddy Brown! So, similar to folks like Tim Hicks, how could he not be a country musician? I enjoy this song because I think that the bridge is clever and the song slowly unravels the story of what happened the night before. Kind of like an episode of CSI or another cop drama when you see the outcome (murder) and slowly figure out how it all played out. That got dark much faster than I intended... just listen to the song.
The Second: Everything Has Changed by Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran
In the time that has not been spent listening to Buddy Brown since this video was released on Wednesday night, I have been watching this on repeat instead. I already really liked this song, but I LOVE this video. I think it’s so sweet and wonderful and adorable and perfect. I love that they’re doing yoga while the other kids are playing soccer. I love that she is sewing a patch onto his jacket. I love that he is reading to her. I love how meticulous she is when decorating her gorgeous cookie. I love that he is reading the newspaper and drinking coffee on the bus. I love it all and I love the creativity and beauty in their friendship.
The Third and Final: Easy by Sheryl Crow
I think this may be the first week when the ladies have outnumbered the men! Unless we count Ed Sheeran, then it would make it even. But still, I think that’s impressive. I like that this song is about making your own happiness, despite your situation. Yes, it may be pouring rain, but that doesn't have to ruin their day.
Thanks for listening!Karla
