Words of Wisdom

(meaningful phrases from country songs)

Life is not about the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away...

I don't want a man I can live with; I want a man that I can't live without...

I believe in angels, 'cause my angels believe in me.

I wanna put you in a melody, so you'll be stuck in my head all day. If I could press play, rewind a couple million times; so let me put you in a song...

You make me smile like the sun, forget how to breathe.. Just the thought of you can drive me wild, oh you make me smile...

I'm gonna change your mind, I'm gonna make you love me...

A Little Country Story

Country music has taken over my ears ever since I discovered it around October last year.. I still remember how I started listening to country..

I was waiting for the shuttle bus after work at Vanier, and there was radio on my phone so just tuned the radio until I chanced upon a song with a good beat, and surprisingly interesting and meaningful (AND romantic at the same time!) lyrics! So I listened for about half an hour and in the following days, I started listening to the station on the internet..

It was... GOOD. There's just no other way to describe it! The lyrics just sounded so realistic and down-to-earth.. It was catchy and fun to bob along to.. Somehow it just replaced whatever I was used to listening before... Solo piano, smooth jazz, English oldies, Chinese pop...

And then... I start listening to too much country music at work for the past 1 week.. And suddenly, I have rekindled my liking for listening to solo piano music... After so many months of neglecting it.. Well, that's another story for another day... But it is very good sleepytime music.. It soothes the mind and releases tension from a long work day..

I guess it's all about balance.. Too much of anything can kill anyone..

But if you haven't heard country music before, try it! Most people make a weird face when they hear the word "country".. I don't know why people are so negative about it.. I guess I tend to like things which are not too popular.. I like this trait about myself :P

Anyway, favourite country singers: George Canyon, Brad Paisley (albeit getting too popular), Emerson Drive, Josh Turner, Keith Urban... The list goes on!

Favourite country song of all time:
(aka the song that I've been most addicted to until this moment)

I BELIEVE IN ANGELS - George Canyon

It's such an inspiring and touching song...

That's all I have to say for now.. Anyone has any opinions about this? Feel free to tell me!
