Don’t Blink

0 Comments

 Chesney releases his single, Don’t Blink, from his album, Just who I Am: Pirates and Poets. Song writer, Chris Wallin shares his inspiration behind the song:

I’d had the idea for that song for about a year. It was one of those things that I felt really personal about because I had lost three major family members within a two-year period. My mother, my grandmother and my brother. When something like that happens — there was a line that I was wanting to put in the song that never made it in the song. ‘We always send flowers to people when they’re gone. We should send them when they’re living.’ You don’t always have that time, anyway.

It was just in a couple of sittings on my couch. And once the first line came, ‘I’ve been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall. I’ve been laying here, praying she won’t call,’ the story just unfolded.

Inconsolable is about a person who really, really loves somebody but they just can’t go there because of something that has happened in the past. I personally love the song because it’s a great representation of what we are about.

Take Me There

0 Comments

The band releases their song, Take Me There, from their album, Still Feels Good. Chesney wrote the song.

I had the idea for that song several years ago, and I had written it down on a piece of paper in a notebook. I was going through a bunch of stuff and saw where I had written that down and had forgotten about it. The whole idea of the song was about meeting someone who still has their guard up from a previous relationship or whatever it is. There’s something inside of her that she’s not showing anybody, about what makes her tick, about what makes her love, what makes her give, what makes her be who she is.I had three lines written down. So I called Neil Thrasher and told him about this idea when I found it in my notebook. And he says, ‘Let me think about that for a little bit.’ He called me back in a couple of days, and the next thing, you hear him on the phone with a guitar (singing) ‘Tell me ’bout your mama.’ I went “Oh my God!” (laughs) ‘It sounds pretty good’.

So Small

0 Comments

The artist releasesSo Small, from, Carnival Ride. She says the song is:

A feeling song on how people invest so much of their time and energy into things that aren’t really important. And you don’t really realize that until it’s too late. We’re all guilty of it, as I know I am, of just letting silly things get in the way. The smallest thing can almost ruin my day, and at some point, I realize, ‘Good gracious, Carrie! What are you doing?’ I have a great life, and we need to remember the things that are truly important.

This was a great thing for our entire family and a great opportunity. But we were quite comfortable at our farm and our kids were comfortable with their school. As Miley was leaving with the family, I reached that pivotal crossroad every parent knows will come someday – realizing my kid is growing up and I gotta let ’em leave the nest and fly.

The artist releases Online, from the album, 5th Gear. 

I remember thinking, ‘Well, the internet is sort of new, and people are getting away with complete false identities everywhere you look… It isn’t going to be this way forever; but this’ll be fun to put out right now. Boy, was I wrong. I think it’s way more relevant today.

Love Me If You Can

0 Comments

Keith releases his single, Love Me If You Can, from his album, Big Dog Daddy.

Very few times do I record a song I don’t write. I can probably count on both hands the number of times I’ve done that in my whole career. This song wasn’t written for me, but it sounds like I wrote it for myself. Every word Craig wrote tells it like it is for me. There are a lot of homeless people out there who are lazy, drunk or hooked on drugs, but there are some who might just be down on their luck. So I may feel like the homeless should just get up and go to work, but I won’t stop giving money to charitable organizations that help people on the street. I do sometimes think war is necessary, but if we could push the big red peace button and make it all end I think every single one of us would

Don’t Make Me

0 Comments

Shelton releases the single, Don’t Make Me, from his album, Pure B.S.

Don’t Make Me was one of those things that when everyone heard it, it was unanimous that it was a special song and kind of a new sound for me. It’s about a guy who is going through a lot of struggles and is not sure how to handle it. That’s been me in the last year and a half. I’ve been kind of up in down in my personal life and a lot of that reflects in this song and the rest of the album.

Crazy Ex Girlfriend

Lambert releases her 2nd album, which includes a single that shares the name. When asked if she has any real-life “crazy ex-girlfriend” stories to share:

Once, my high school boyfriend was ironing his shirt and he says, “I’m just going over to so-and-so’s house to watch movies.” My parents are private investigators, so I’m thinking, “You’re ironing your shirt to go to a buddy’s house? I’m not buying that.” So I drive by this club he promised to stop going to — it’s kind of raunchy, like a guy with a girlfriend shouldn’t go there, you know what I mean? — and his car was there. We broke up the next day.
