Members New Trail Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 How does it go over? It's a good almost reggae type beat and a really hot song right now. We're planning to learn it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flanc Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 A friends band plays it and it goes over great to the younger crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 Takes about 5 minutes to learn and goes over pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeff42 Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 just heard it again on the radio about 10 minutes ago. I though about bringing it up. I guess I will now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WynnD Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 Takes about 5 minutes to learn and goes over pretty well. Never learn a song because it's easy. Try to only learn a song because it is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeff42 Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 Never learn a song because it's easy. Try to only learn a song because it is good! hmmm. I don't really consider it good but it is popular and pretty catchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that was the reason he should learn it. I said, or at least meant, it goes over well and as an added bonus it's easy to learn.

Members Ryan. Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 I hate that song. Too many people wishing and waiting for their lottery checks to come in. I've been debating on writing a whole album with libertarian views. I've always wondered how that would go over. Hollywood and the music industry have fed the public enough U2 garbage about peace on Earth, I always wonder what would happen if the other side had a musical outlet...

Members Ryan. Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 I don't listen to a lot of country. The country I do hear is ACTUALLY pop, like tayler hicks or whatever her name is. And its never about politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan. Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm just curious about it. What if 50 cent did a whole album on working hard, saving money, and raising his family the right way. Or if Green Day took off their mascara, and wrote a song about the necessary evil of war and defending America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan. Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 Well I guess I just haven't listened to COUNTRY in a while. Okay... so take those lyrics and put them in a pop format. Would they sell? Could Lady Gaga sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 Well I guess I just haven't listened to COUNTRY in a while. It's been a predominate theme in country music for decades. Okay... so take those lyrics and put them in a pop format. Would they sell? Could Lady Gaga sell it? They'd be country/pop artists then. These days with so much country being pop/rock, there isn't a whole lot more than the lyrical content to define it as "country" a lot of the time.

Who doesn't wonder every once in a while. Yeah you're probably right. It just frustrates me. My generation spends half their day on Facebook wishing for more money. It just reminds me of guys like green day that live in mansions and complain in their music about the kind of people that live in mansions. Just once I'd like to hear a song that goes... "I plan to be a billionaire, by working real fricken hard..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entertainment is about escaping. Yeah, "Fast Car" is a brilliant song, but on my drive home this afternoon, I want to hear that it's Friday night, I'm going to win the lottery, get drunk and score with 3 hot chicks. And I'm 38. I have a son that I want to keep that idealistic peace on earth attitude for as long as possible. He'll have plenty of time later in life to have reality take a {censored} on him. Personally, I don't need my music to do that to me. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't about escaping. They are about their "truth," but it just happens to be on the other end of the spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
