A Thread For The Lovers Of Country Music. by Hidentity(m): 6:10pm On Dec 27, 2014
Hello distinguished wordsmiths.

I was listening to some country songs last night and the depth of the messages they passed and the reflection gave me some convictions:

1: That country music is capable of making one a better thinker and writer if attention is paid to the contents and tone.

2: Country music is capable of influencing how one handle situations mildly and in a noble manner as its content is almost always sober and thought provoking.

3: The themes of most country songs are Love, Peace, War, Death etc. These characteristics are capable of improving the dynamism and excellence of a writer's idea. Most of these songs have inspirational tones.

4: Considering the dying culture of reading contents outside academic works, drawing inspiration from the content of these songs can bring the culture back to life.

5: This thread can also serve as a forum to analyse and explain the deep content of any country music brought forward by a member.

6: Country music promotes critical thinking which can enhance efficiency in solving some problems.

7: The tone of Country music mostly tilts towards the side of morality and religion. This may also help shape our religion and moral lives.

8: The approach of an average person on this forum to issues are not so encouraging. It reflects the less diplomatic and lack of respect towards the feeling of the other party. Though not conclusive, but this thread can improve member's level of diplomacy as it relates to addressing people and replying them.

I posted this on this segment because this is where I operate basically and I think that the literature section harbours people who are more civil, decorous, intelligent and cooperative.

For a start, my top 8 Country songs are:

1: Blowing in the wind by Dolly Parton
2: Rake and Rambling man by Don Williams
3: But you know that I love you by Dolly Parton
4: Gambler by Kenny Rogers
5: Silver & Gold by Dolly Parton
6: Amanda by Don Williams
7: When you were loving me by Kenny Rogers
8: To Daddy by Dolly Parton

I hope the idea is not only useful but seen as worthwhile.

I think that it is better to download through the name of the song. There are a lot of Country songs now and most are not as deep as the old ones. You may try one of the above and check other songs by those people. With time, we shall carefully pick the new ones that are worth paying attention to.

Right. But did you observe that a sentence kept coming after each verse? Don't you think if not for that, the marriage would have stood the test of time?

Whao. I like that you noticed that. Silence is not really as dignified as it is thought to be, it is destructive sometimes. The more you try to ensure some things on the ground of silence, the more it destroys in the inside.
