Kyle S. Yes, he was one of my favorites for a while but his songs just, uehh

Yo, for fuckin real, when he said Luke Bryan was better at country than Cody Jinks, the like I put on the video turned into a dislike. Luke Bryan is bro country, Cody Jinks is True Country. He should have said he didn't like country. that's better than lying and saying he likes country.

I respect that, I agree, I can't stand main stream country anymore

Nah they don’t need to give him another chance if that didn’t grab them nothing will!! You can’t diagnose idiocy

Sidecar Dog thank you !

Lol!

When you chew, it can often be hard to say askew.

We all know that

Thank you J3B!

DukesRocks the thing about country, is that it isn’t supposed to have great music. It’s described as just “chords and the truth”. It’s all to keep the focus on the important stories, emotion, and passion. That being said, this song did have something special in the music. The tempo remains consistent in this song, and that’s to drive in the point that no matter what happens in life, or how bad it gets, time always moves on and your life isn’t over. In my honest opinion, this song is genius, and songs full of passion and honesty don’t need strong music. It ruins the song most of the time anyway

@@jeremylilly1054 One of the main reasons I will listen to country is for creative melodies and how they apply it in an arrangement of a song. This is mostly because I play guitar and I feel country musicians are some of the best to listen to for tips. While I agree with you on some points, genius is a bit of a stretch. For me this song is a dime a dozen in the world of country. For me there wan't anything in the arrangement, vocals or story that was memorable or inspiring.

Thanks Dukes. Its not a bad song, but I just felt that at this point we've personally heard country that's been more interesting and we've enjoyed more. If we had heard this earlier in our listening, we may have liked it more. -JP

"Chords and Truth"; I like that. -JP

@@jpmp1201 The Truth, that's what I like about the two of you. As a viewer, I'm looking for a fair and honest review. When it comes to country, the melodies is the number one factor, vocally and musically for me. The story for me is a bonus that put the song over the top. Take Zac Brown Band"s "Sweet Annie" as an example. What I like about the this song is the lead vocals are great. Then there's the harmonies that take the song to another level. The musicians however are my main interest. I love how they color up the song but mostly I love the bluegrass licks from the guitars and I think there's a violin there as well. However the lyrics are just ok. Now take a look at the song by Tim Mcgraw's "Don't take the Girl" that just tears your heart out. Now lets say you did a review of Don't take the Girl. Musically and vocally the song is just ok nothing great. The key is did you understand the story from the lyrics. I see you read the lyrics, but Manny doesn't and this is what I mean by a fair review. For me if I was hearing both Sweet Annie and Don't take the Girl for the first time. I would be no competition Sweet Annie would be rated higher. However, when you look at the Lyrics for both song, Don't take the Girl tugs on the heart strings more. I believe Manny is being honest in the review, but I also feel he doesn't have all the information and he could be missing out on some great lyrics.

LOL!

Terry Lehto I’m down to try it

I personally think it’s one of his best, and one of the best country songs in general. In my opinion, people just prefer songs the can have fun to, not songs that mean anything important. The simple music is what makes country so unique. They don’t rely on heavy instruments to capture the listener. It’s supposed to be really small and just complimentary towards the lyrics.

@@jeremylilly1054 that's the thing about music everyone has there own opinion. To each there own.

Thanks Terry!

Terry Lehto I definitely understand that. I agree 100%! I was just trying to communicate the same idea. No one seemed to be acknowledging that a song can be amazing even without strong instruments. Everyone was just complaining about how this song didn’t.

We did a LB song! Check it out🤭

@@jpmp1201 I meant if you do Luke Bryan I would have no intention of watching it.

Gotta say, the name Flying Burrito Brothers got my attention. -JP

JPMP - The Gilded Palace of Sin. Great album. “Sin City” is a great song. Check it out!

Oh and I try to always rate and comment before I hear what you guys say. I like to see how our opinions match or differ without the influence of already hearing if you like it or not. :)

That's what I love hearing! Our opinions shouldn't alter whether you liked/didn't like a song. -JP

My request: ‘A Long December’ by The Counting Crows, a rock country band from the early nineties. A melancholy soulful song with a healthy dose of redemption. Back up request: John Hiatt’s ‘Old Habits’ ...a song about the inability to change.

I do enjoy your descriptions of songs :) -JP
