Day Thirty... (Time of Year)

This time of year is usually when I'm making my musical transition from country to more rock/heavy metal. This year I found a new song, well new to me, that works perfectly for this transition. "That was Yesterday" by Wynonna Judd. This song is so amazing it gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. And the story she tells before singing the song makes it that much better.


That was yesterday

"'Cause I was your woman...

...but you threw me away..."

Wynonna Judd

Day Eleven... (Song from Favorite Band)

My favorite band was Brooks and Dunn (surprise, surprise, I know), but since they have retired my new favorite band is Montgomery Gentry. The song I chose to represent my new boys is "All Night Long" by Montgomery Gentry. It's a fun, fast paced, loud, and very entertaining song. Plus, Charlie Daniels is featured in the song playing his bad ass fiddle, and in my opinion shit don't get much better than that.

All Night Long

"How long you think this party's gonna last...

...all night long."

Montgomery Gentry

Day Eight... (All Words)

Well, there isn't a single Brooks and Dunn song that I don't know all the words to, but my favorite song to sing to that I definitely know all of the words to would have to be "Country Boy" by Aaron Lewis (lead singer of Staind). I first heard this song about a week ago and I immediately fell in love with it. I have listened to it so many times in such a short period I'm not surprised I've already remembered all the words to it.

Country Boy


"And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts...

...and a couple extra pounds never really hurt."

Aaron Lewis

Day Four... (Sad Song)

My Boys, Montgomery and Gentry. Montgomery wrote this song about his dad and his son...

Clouds

The song that makes me the saddest is "Clouds" by Montgomery Gentry. It makes me sad in a surreal way. Every word of the song pulls at my heart strings so hard I'm scared they're going to break. The song is about loved ones looking down on you from heaven. All in all it's a wonderful song. But if you listen to it you need to have a box of tissues right next to you.

"I hate sunny days nothing but empty blue skies...

...so I pray Ohh how I pray for clouds."

Montgomery Gentry

beauty is in the eye of the driver...

My "job" combines my favorite things.. Driving and listening to music at high speeds. I am so grateful that I don't have to sit in traffic everyday on the freeway getting frustrated and dreading my entire day. I get to drive through the mountains surrounded by redwoods at 50mph everyday blasting my country music.
I think more people should take the time to take a little drive or even a hike through the forest from time to time. Nothing is more soothing and gives you a more natural high than being out in the open wilderness.
So I would like to thank the people that hired me to do such a wonderful job. Not only do I get paid with cash, but I get paid with beauty and tranquility everyday.
