Thank You, Granger Smith

Because the songs with the least publicity sometimes mean the most.

In life, the things that get the most attention are the ones that are flashy and the most popular among everyone. However, for some people, like myself, we get hooked on the small things because there's always something bigger behind it that carries a special meaning.

Granger Smith released his debut album, "Remington," in March of 2016. On this album, he released a song entitled "Tractor." This song isn't one of his "signature songs" that get all of the attention and that are replayed on the radio. It's something small on his album, but like I said before, one that has something bigger.

Right when you hear the song, there's just a big difference. You can almost feel something tugging on you and telling you, "Hey, listen closer."

Well, just recently Granger Smith posted on Facebook and it said:

“Making this video was very special to me. The man isn’t an actor, it’s my dad’s lifelong best friend. This isn’t a music video set, it’s dad’s barn, dad’s field, dad’s tractor. I still miss him every day."

Smith personally wrote this song about his father, who passed away in 2014 and as you can see in the tweet above, everything in this video is homemade. Also, his son, Lincoln is in the video, who was born the same year his father passed away.

Listening to this song really made me realize at how this song relates to everyday life. See, originally, Smith didn't want this song on his album but his family pushed him to put it on there and now people are starting to realize the true meaning behind this song.

Meanings are hidden in so many things in life. Whether it's a song, a jacket, a book or whatever it may be, everyone has something meaningful to them.

So next time you see something big, that's great but what's the small thing next to it? Chances are that'll be something you remember down the road.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
