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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
