Forever Remembered Country Music #1

You hear one of those songs come on the radio, those ones that will give you shivers on a humid Heartland summer day when your sweating yet you just shivered. We all know those songs as some of the most influential, real to life, remembered songs for generations to come. I'm gonna start this new label on Wenya and Yoeli called the "Forever Remembered Country Music". This label will consist of the songs that can make any cowboy or cowgirl shiver because of the impact of the song. I don't know if other genres have songs like those in country music (due to the fact I've only ever listened to country music my entire life), but the songs in country music describe my life. I'm sure they explain your life, as well.



I had a hard time deciding which of two songs to do first in the series of posts (that may go on forever) but I finally decided on Garth Brooks' "The Dance". And Garth, he's a hard man to find videos for in the internet world. He shouldn't be hard, but he sure is!

"And now, I'm glad I didn't know

the way it all would end, the way it all would go.

Our lives are better left to chance;

I could have missed the pain,

but I'd have had to miss the dance."     - Garth Brooks
