CCMF

Hello CMFers!
It's been a long time. TOO long, really. I blame the whiplash caused by me thinking moving/starting a new job in the middle of hiring season and over the course of three measly days was a smart decision. Hindsight, I tell ya. But! Things have been really great at my new job and my team is amazing, so really there isn't anything to complain about. Not even the temperature (which I have yet to figure out how to appropriately dress for) because whenever I do complain I am faced with several people from Ontario looking back at me with blank stares and then telling me that negative degree weather that remains in the single digits is what they simply refer to as "early fall." 

Anyways, today's selections have no theme. Just three songs that I've been really loving lately! So, Classic Country Music Friday.*


The First: Sober by Little Big Town

LET ME JUST SAY THAT A SONG CANNOT GET MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THIS ONE. I mean, really. Not only is the message really heartwarming and the analogy is fantastic, but pair that with a group that is just so  perfect in their harmonies and you get this. This amazing song that I will never be able to emulate singing alone with my guitar, but one that I will continue to try to do. Because how can I not?

The Second: Give Me Back My Hometown by Eric Church

Dear, Eric Church. You make me love 'rock and roll'. You also make me love you and your ability to mix twang with rock while simultaneously not caring/not wanting to define your genre. Other things: You only wear your signature sunglasses in a few seconds of this music video - you're learning that people want to see your face! Yay! You feature some of your other songs in this video. Classy. Me gusta. Finally, this video makes me feel emotions, which most of you know is something I try to avoid as much as possible. So. 9/10.

The Third and Final: Wake Up Loving You by Craig Morgan

Gah. This song is just so up my alley! I don't know why. But it's been on repeat for several weeks. So now you get to hear it too. PS I think Craig Morgan is somehow being sponsored by a motel chain. (Sidebar: 2:28 when he's singing into the door frame = my favorite).

*Not to be confused with Classic Music Friday which is a WHOLE other beast. And not one that I would have any authority on.

Thanks for listening!
