"Beat Of The Music"

"Beat Of The Music"

Well I just met you a couple hours ago
My last night in town, hey wouldn't you know
I get hooked on a girl with blue diamond eyes
Down here in Mexico, oh
Now you're walking up asking me to dance
Smiling that smile and reaching out your hand
Well there's a move or two, I'd like to show you
While I still got the chance

Well you got the soul and you know how to use it
Put your hand on my hip cause you know that I'll lose it
You got my heart racing like there's nothing to it
Falling in love to the beat of the music
Oh oh, why wouldn't I wanna stay?
Oh oh, and let that plane fly away, hey hey

Cause you got the soul and you know how to use it
Put your hand on my hip cause you know that I'll lose it
You got my heart racing like there's nothing to it
Falling in love to the beat of the music
The beat of the music

I usually pick a different country song every week and write about how the lyrics relate to my life, but this week I just want to appreciate how much country music means to me.  I chose this song because I love it and because it is upbeat. When I hear it, it makes me want to get up and sing and dance to it. It is one of those songs that are catchy and if you listen to it, it will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

Like I said in my first blog, I grew up listening to country music. It is basically in my blood. Other than older music, country is the only music my parents listen to, so I always have. Anytime we go on vacations or a long road trip, country music is always playing. The radio will be on or if we are out in the country where the station does not come in, my dad will dig out all of his CDs. We will listen to them over and over. They never get old to me. Most of the CDs are from the late 90’s and I honestly think those are my favorite because I have heard them over and over.

Since the lyrics to country music are so relatable it can change your mood any day. It can describe your feelings when you cannot explain them. I remember when I was in middle school, my mom would ask me what was wrong or my feelings about something and I would tell her to listen to a certain song. It was easier for me to just tell my mom to listen to a song rather than talk about my feelings. That helped me a lot and I began to realize how important music was to me.

I fell in love with, “Beat of the music” when it first came out. It is an upbeat song and no matter how you are feeling, it can cheer you up. I like how country music artists are so diverse. They can sing about serious things and then sing something fun or uplifting.
