Country Music: It's The Kind Of Message, I'd Want My Son To Get

Country Music: It's The Kind Of Message, I'd Want My Son To Get

I truly feel that country music is under appreciated.

If you haven't already, I strongly advise you to take some time out of your day and really listen to the lyrics of some of the songs. I don't know if anyone agrees but I feel as though music on the radio these days is all about sex and drugs. It's especially very demeaning and inappropriate to women. Half the songs I need to change if I'm in a car with my dad because I feel so awkward. For example, men who write rap songs talk about how they want to have sex with a women or about how hot her body is. Not once do they talk about taking her on a date or marrying her.

Country songs on the other hand, are the exact opposite. Country songs talk about how beautiful women are and how men want to take them on dates. They sing about how they want to marry the girl and about how much they love them. "Cute" is the perfect word to describe country songs. That is the type of music I want my son to listen to when he grows up. I want him to be a gentleman who respect women, not a player who disrespects them. For example, lets look at the song Die a Happy Man by Thomas Rhett. He sings, "If I never get to see the Northern lights Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night Oh, if all I got is your hand in my hand Baby, I could die a happy man, yeah" HOW CUTE iS THAT?! He is basically telling his girl that as long as he has her, he will forever be happy, that he doesn't need anything else. Now lets listen to the song I Don't Mind by Usher. He sings, "Your body rock and your booty poppin', I'm proud to call you my bitch" It is not okay to call any woman that word. These type of songs teach kids that the only thing that matter about the woman is the curves on her body.

I hope after reading this article you consider listening to more country music because it truly is the best.

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.
