Country, Say What?!

You say Lady Gaga, I say Lady Antebellum.
You say Jason Derulo, I say Jason Aldean.
You say Ke$sha, I say Kenny.
You say Pitbull, I say Paisley.
You say Justin Bieber, I say Justin Moore.
92% of the population have turned to Hip Hop and Pop. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message. Stop being DUMB and start listening to real music!!! COUNTRY!!

Yeah, people, I am becoming a Country music fanatic...again! I haven't passed through this faze since I was 15 (I've always loved it, it just comes in seasons), but I am certainly glad it has come around again. Why? Because the type of music I listen to reflects what I am feeling emotionally. It's crazy, but through hard circumstances and situations since a kid I've learned to disconnect from my emotions. It's rare to see me cry, I go numb and don't really feel anything when I am in pain, I pull back when angry, and happy is just kind of...mellow...it's insane! But music is really the only way that silent little girl on the inside can shout out how she is feeling.
It wasn't until this year with the help of God tenderizing my heart and my fiance constantly doing things--on accident and purpose--that have drawn me out of my quiet shell; I have been able to re-connect to the emotional part of my soul and it's AWESOME. I've cried more this year then I have my entire teenage years put together, I've learned how to get really angry when I feel angry, and when I laugh I really mean it; I'm learning to creep out from my hole and tell people what I'm feeling inside (it's still a work in progress. ;) )
If I'm listening to care-free-kick your-cowgirl-boots-up-on-the-dashboard-and-ride-across-the-dusty desert-kind-of-music, it's probably because it's how my soul feels on the inside: happy and free. I just got out of the heavy-metal, dark and not-so-uplifting music so...yeah...you can just imagine where my emotions have been lately. Hearing a person scream to crashing electric guitars was the only way I let other people (and myself) know I just wanted to scream myself and get all the poison out of my system.
Music gives me something to relate to emotionally.
So yes, I am in my lighthearted country music faze (not the dark, he/she cheated on me stuff lol).
Note, when I say Country music I mean COUNTRY music. Not the kind of music where you put a headband on your head and eat organic peaches in the Virginia hills (that's folk). Not the kind of music you shimmy into Daisy Duke's shorts and wave your confederate flag in redneck Alabama (that's honky-tonk). And most definatly NOT pop music with a twang (*cough, cough* Taylor Swift *cough, cough*). I'm talking concentrated, authentic, Texas/Nashville twangy music. The kind of stuff you'd listen to while riding a dusty desert trail in a pick-up truck, with a grin under the brim of your cowboy hat; that's the pure American, pure emotional, pure heart-and-soul, pure care-free music I'm talking about.
And now that we've clarified that...
I am SOOO enjoying this phase of my life...it's good to be free on the inside. :D Indeed, autumn has brought MANY winds of change. ^_^
