5 Saddest Country Music Songs

Country music songs aren't all sad as some naysayers might presume. But there are some country music songs that will touch your heart and soul, these songs will make you feel the pain the words are expressing. This is not a bad thing. Life isn't all rainbows and sunshine. Life has its ups and downs.

The country music songs that I have chosen for this blog are sad to me. In one way or another I can relate to the agony the artist is singing about. 

Country music tells stories. All types of tales. For this I am grateful for country music singers and songwriters. 

Country music's saddest songs might make you cry. They might make you realize that you need a change in your life. 

Sad songs might help you mend a broken relationship or kick a bad habit. They even might make you hug your loved ones more. On the flip side they might make you laugh and realize your life is perfect just the way it is. 

Either way sad songs are melancholy for a reason, you must listen and allow yourself to feel in order to understand the meaning behind the song...enjoy the tunes! 

Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss ... For those who have traveled a path of addiction or know someone who has, this story is for you. For those who have dealt with a cheating partner, this story is for you too. For those who have served in the military and came home anticipating the warm hugs and excitement of your return, but didn't receive that warm welcome...this story is for you. This one song truly packs a punch. 

Drink A Beer by Luke Bryan ... Luke was the youngest of three siblings. He lost his older brother due to a car crash and his sister due to unknown reasons. Luke is the remaining sibling. I can imagine how he or his parents deal with the pain of losing their children/siblings. Yet, they carry on. Those who have lost a loved one can understand. I can understand. The memories of our lost loved ones stays with us and this is how they live on. This song is a tribute to Luke's siblings and to your lost loved ones also. 

Hurt by Johnny Cash ... No words needed. So much sorrow. 

Highway Don't Care by Tim McGraw with Taylor Swift and Keith Urban ... Relationships fail. People come into our lives and leave, we might never fully understand why. People just grow apart. Move on. Most importantly NEVER text and drive! 

Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning by Alan Jackson ... In memory of September 11th a day that no one will ever forget. A day that was heartbreaking for so many. We will always remember where we were and the sorrowful images that we witnessed. RIP to all the innocent souls who lost their lives that day. Be strong to all the brave first responders who continue to suffer health issues due to being heroes. Godspeed. 

There are many, many more sad country songs...this blog is just my top 5 favorites.

5 Sexiest Country Music Songs

Sexy country music songs might make you blush a bit, but I bet you will keep on coming back for more. Over and over again you will want to listen to these songs. Perhaps while just relaxing, or maybe while preparing a romantic dinner with your significant other. You might be having dinner later than planned, but food tends to be over rated at times.

Sexy country music songs make you feel better about yourself. They could help boost your self esteem and they could also help you appreciate your mate. Or, they could make you feel like crap about yourself and make you wish you had a more romantic mate. Either way...try not to be too analytical and just enjoy the moment.

Miranda Lambert Country Music Videos

I have been a fan of Miranda Lambert since her hit "Kerosene" was hot on the radio. Her feisty attitude caught my attention and I was hooked! She was often passed by at the award shows since she wasn't that popular, but WOW has Miranda come a long way during her career span.

On April 19, 2015 she swept the Academy of Country Music awards. She won Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year...along with a Milestone Award and made the Guinness Book of World Records for consecutive wins of Female Vocalist of the year, her winning streak continued for her 6th win. Yet, she is so humble and down to earth she still gets nervous speaking to crowds. Seriously? She rocked her acceptance speeches. 

In 2003 Miranda placed third in Nashville Star, which was a reality singing competition. She later signed to Epic Records. For a girl who was born and bred in the state of Texas and raised by parents who were private investigators, and at times the family was living in their car, she has come a long way. 

Miranda now calls Oklahoma her home base along with her hubby, Blake Shelton. Together they are the current reigning King and Queen of Country Music. June and Johnny Cash, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw at one time held this title and they wore it proudly...it is now time to pass the torch to Miranda and Blake. I believe they will also wear their title proudly. (Oops, things have changed.)

From singer, songwriter, business owner, animal activist...Miranda Lambert is a country chick of all trades. I have a feeling Miranda will continue to entertain country music fans for quite a while. Rock on, ML.

Luke Bryan Country Music Videos

                         

Luke Bryan began his country music career in 2007 using his songwriting talents for other singers. He had no idea that his career was about to take off to super-stardom. Luke then began co-writing and performing his own songs, and works of other songwriters. Between his talent of writing, singing, performing and shaking his money maker to thousands of screaming fans, Luke Bryan became a name that every one seemed to know.

Luke was born in rural Leesburg, GA on July 17, 1976 the youngest of three siblings. During his climb to success both his older brother and older sister passed away. His older brother via a car accident, his older sister via unknown reasons. I can imagine the heartache he has endured since I also lost two siblings while they and I were at a very young age. You never get over the loss, you just learn to adjust.

Yet, with the persuasion of his father Luke continued to follow his dream and made his mark in Nashville. With his big, brilliant smile and charisma Luke literally lights up a room and vast venues. It is difficult not to like Luke and appreciate his hard work and dedication to his craft.

Luke has won endless awards and recognition from his fans, his peers and the country music industry. Entertainer of the Year, Best song, Best video, Breakthrough Artist...the list goes on. The first time I saw Luke in concert was in 2011...he opened for Tim McGraw. I watched and admired how he audience moved and grooved to Luke's tunes. Wow! I said then and there that he needs to start headlining his own tour. Shortly after he did just that. You are welcome, Luke! Kidding! He obviously didn't need my help. Well done, LB! Keep on keeping on!
