country fan

i've always liked listening to country music. but it's only lately that i got hold of some of the songs i really like. western country music ain't that popular around here so it's really hard to look in record bars, much less the radio. thank god for limewire...now i get to download the contemporary country artists singles that i really dig. i dunno there's something about country music that is so soothing to the ear, it's always light and easy to listen to, it makes me feel really good inside. plus there's something in the lyrics together with the melody that makes 'em so innocent and romantic. the love expressed in their lyrics seem so pure and true, probably coz that's the kind of lovin' you get from the typical western southerner (promdi in other words...)

i know for one that rascal flatts is one of the best ones there is today. i got some of their songs and his songs are like short romantic comedies. then i recently discovered this country artist who apparently was on the second season of american idol. he's known for "country-fying" the songs he performed on the show. unfortunately he came in fourth, behind ruben, clay and this other girl...but he's really good, i listened to some of his performances on the show and he can really sing and his country style gave new flavor to the songs. he's already broken a record deal with one of 'em country labels and i downloaded his first two singles. i liked the first but i really love the second, i keep on repeating it on my mp3 player. try to get hold of it if you can.

Stay with me (Brass bed)
by Josh Gracin

Baby, the clock on the wall is lying
It's not really that late
It's too cold outside to be walking around the streets of this town
Anywhere if you think you have to be can wait

So why don't you stay with me?
Share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
And we'll be alright as long as you stay with me, yeah

Baby, there's just no use in hiding
The way that I am feeling right now
With you standing there baby I swear I can't help but stare
Girl you're wearing me out, wearing me out

Baby stay with me
Share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
We'll be alright as long as you stay with me

Baby don't go it looks like it's starting to rain
And it's so warm here in this apartment wrapped up in this blanket
So Stay

Stay with me
Share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
We'll be alright as long as you stay
I’ll be alright as long as you stay with me

Stay with me
