So a little known secret about me is my love for country music. It all started way back when when I was introduced by the queen of country (ok in my opinion) Shania Twain. I still dream that one day I will sing From This Moment at my wedding (don’t worry wedding guests – it will never actually happen).
But the point is that country music has meaning. So many pop songs are written by song writers and sold to somewhat talented artisits, then put through a mixer in the studio and come out sounding thankfully nothing like the raw version and somewhat decent.
Country music however is written with soul, with purpose and with meaning. Country artists can actually sing, play instruments and make you feel what they are singing. The reason for this is that many of them actually feel their own music.
One song that I need to share with people is For The Girls by Martina McBride. I think the main reason for this is that I am a woman and I know that so many women have experienced everything in this song. And mainly because I know that my girls have gone through this or are currently going through this. This song explains womanhood and everything that comes with it – it is what truly makes a woman. Maybe I just wanna dedicate this song to my girls – you know who you are. This one’s for you. To Listen click HERE
This is for all you girls about 13
High school can be so rough, can be so mean
Hold on to, on to your innocence
Stand your ground when everybody's givin' in
This one's for the girls
This is for all you girls about 25
In little apartments, just tryin' to get by
Livin' on, on dreams and spaghettios
Wonderin' where your life is gonna go
CHORUS
This one's for the girls
Who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls
Who love without holdin' back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This One's for the girls
(This one's for all the girls) - 1st time only
This is for all you girls about 42
Tossin' pennies into the fountain of youth
Every laugh, laugh line on your face
Made you who you are today
REPEAT CHORUS
Yeah, we're all the same inside (same inside)
From 1 to 99
REPEAT CHORUS
(This one's for all the girls)
Yeah, this one's for the girls
(This one's for all the girls)
