Women Of Country - Tumblr Posts

I shine brightest when the going’s tough // You say I can’t, well darling, watch me // You can’t stop me cuz I fight like a girl

I’m so super proud to be a woman, and I’m moved to tears at how we all stood in solidarity during the Women’s Marches.  I also would like to thank all the men that came out and stood up for us and our rights as well.  The lyrics of this song by Kalie Shorr are perfect in light of these amazing marches. This song is my anthem for the women’s movement.  We are not underdogs.  We are a force to be reckoned with. We can’t be stopped. 

You won’t make yourself a name if you follow the rules // History gets made when you’re acting a fool

Love this song, especially coming from Lauren.  Knowing that she struggled with bulimia and body image makes this song so much more powerful.  You can hear her passion in every note, and this video shows it as well. I also love that she wrote it with Meghan Trainor, another outspoken woman on body image. 

I need a saving grace // A hiding place // I don’t have forever or time to waste

My favorite song by the Band Perry. I love the lyrics of this song, and I like how it’s a little more reminiscent of the self titled era TBP, whereas Pioneer era TBP was a lot bigger in sound. I love the musicianship in this song, as well as Kimberly’s raspy voice. I’m excited to see where their new music is heading.

You don't know what you lost, boy // Too busy chasing stars // You're always gonna fly away just because you know you can // You're never gonna learn there's no such place as Neverland // You don't understand

Love this song from Kelsea Ballerini. I love the lyrics of this song, and comparing someone who can't grow up to Peter Pan. Her voice sounds awesome in this song, and I'm hoping she wins a Grammy for it!

I know this might be asking a lot // When it’s all said and done // Don’t forget that you loved me once

Virtually flawless performance by Maren Morris and Alicia Keys!  If anyone out there didn’t know who Maren Morris is, they definitely do now!  She owned the stage, performing Once for the first time live, and held her own against 15x Grammy winner Alicia Keys! She showed that she is more than just a country singer, she is a complete artist, and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

I’ve never gotten taller making someone else feel small // If you ain’t got nothing nice to say, then don’t say nothing at all

Love this song by Kacey Musgraves. These lyrics are so honest, yet funny, and are presented in true Kacey style! She is severely underrated

Lately, things have been getting so crazy // I’m feeling like my heart hates me // It’s racing // I just wanna stay in the dark

Love this song from The Band Perry. It is definitely a departure from their country roots, but I like this as a pop sound for them. It is pop without being too drastically different from the Pioneer era TBP. Also, Kimberly sounds great in this song. I’m interested to see where their new music takes them. 

I could use a love song that takes me back, just like that when it comes on // To a time that I wouldn’t roll my eyes at a guy and a girl // Who make it work in a world that for me so far has seem to go so wrong

Love this song by Maren Morris. Her voice sounds so strong and powerful in this song, and she portrays the emotions perfectly. I love the raw and real lyrics, and this video really helps to illustrate the emotions.
