Life in a Northern Town
May/080
Ok, the secret's out. I like country music. Some of you have had a little fun with that this week.
Actually, I really don't listen to a lot of music, simply because so much of it sounds the same. It doesn't matter if it's "Christian" or "secular" music…so much of it is just cookie cutter stuff. Every song sounds like the one before.
But then, every once in a while, a song comes out that is different. It grabs me. And when it grabs me, it doesn't let go.
Recently I found just such a song. Sugarland, Little Big Town, and Jake Owen all combined to cover The Dream Academy's old song, Life in a Northern Town.
The harmony on this song blew my mind. It's good to see that quality musicianship isn't dead.
And the images of the song's lyrics are powerful. "We thought that the world would freeze, with John F. Kennedy and the Beatles." That's a powerful picture.
I can't stop listening to this song. Wow.
