    I think the song that always sticks out to me for Brett Young is "Don't Wanna Write This Song." The chorus is absolutely beautiful, and I think the message of "neither one of us did anything wrong but I have to live with goodbye anyway" is really poignant. I know popular media likes to depict relationships that end and one side is clearly at fault because it's more dramatic and good for viewership, but in real life I think it happens just as often that both sides can do everything right and the relationship still doesn't work out for some reason, whether it be death, both people just grow apart, or something else entirely and it's important to remember that it's still okay to be sad about it even if nobody did anything wrong.

      My brother went through a breakup like that recently. Him and his girlfriend didn't have any drama and enjoyed being together. However, it was both of their first serious relationship and they started going different directions in life. They decided they needed to see other people. Maybe in a few years they will be back together or maybe they won't. Even though they ended on good terms it hurt.
      You are right. Relationships don't always end because one or both partners suck at relationships. Sometimes life happens.

    "You'll Think of Me " live is phenomenal, and I believe there's a version floating around here on TH-cam. I fully agree on your KU assessment, though. My sister and I always saw him when he came to town until 5 ish years ago, and I purchased most of his albums through Fuse, which I believe is when we really started to see the shift. He's so dang good with modern country and has a respect for the history of the genre, notably with his work on the All for the Hall events, but the last few albums just haven't been that.

You can just feel the hurt in his voice for losing his dad and how proud his dad was of him. I agree with Aldean. I was a huge Jason fan early on. Those albums were on rotation when I worked out.

      wouldn't that also kind of coincide with him getting sober?

    Great picks, Grady! always appreciate your takes and a good idea for a video. I love that you mentioned Raining on Sunday for Keith Urban, that is hands down my favorite song by him, such a jam. I do wish you would give a bit more love to Jason but I did like the ones you picked for him too, Why will always be one of his best. I will say tho, you did enlighten me a little bit to his being on "auto pilot" thing for better or for worse. I think that's actually pretty based tho, a lot of the new songs on his new 2 album release are copies of songs he has throughout his discography. Maybe it's just cause his discography is so large but who knows.

    I will admit Luke Bryan’s Drunk on You was one of my go to songs back in the day lol it’s weird to see that it was right at the beginning of (and probably helped bring in) bro-country, though I think it’s better than almost everything that followed in that trend. Do I still is one of the best songs I’ve heard from him, also I’ve always liked Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye quite a bit too. This is How We Roll is a throwback guilty pleasure 😅
    Older Keith Urban rarely missed, at least single wise. It was just a string of awesome singles there for years. Stupid Boy, You’ll Think of Me, Making Memories of Us…
    And Why is a top tier country song. Still one of my favorites of all time. And See You When I See You is so good.
    And I agree with having a soft spot for Crash and Burn! That chorus always gets me. And even though I agree with Girl in a Country Song and how it portrays this song and others like it in a negative light… Get Me Some of That is a very guilty pleasure. The chorus is so good.
    And yes, I agree with many others!!! We need that video of songs you hate!!!

    I'm a huge Mitchell Tenpenny fan, and assuming you've already tried the first album, I would recommend
    - Truth About You: this song is bringing Mitchell back to relevant to the radio scene. Clever lyrics.
    - To Us It Did: Lyrically checklisty, but the melody is very strong.
    - Bucket List: Great lyrics and strong melody.
    - Can't Go To Church: Another interesting lyrics.
    - Horseshoe and Hand Grenade: Heavily based on the Colloquial word. Good melody again.

    Keith Urban said after Fuse came out that he liked how cool the album name sounded and decided that every album after that was gonna have a cool sounding name. That was the downfall for me.
    I also wanna add that Jason Aldean has a subsection of songs that I love; they’re slower, have more emotion, and tell more of a story. Any Old Barstool, The Truth, they’re great. (Also I Don’t Drink Anymore is another one that deserves way more love, it’s such a clever play on words)

    For Mitchell Tenpenny, you really should check out " To us it did" and "Truth about you". I also didnt like him at first hearing, but these songs, though very different, but are actually really good. Especially the storytelling in "Truth about you" and the general vibe of " To us it did". Would love to hear you review them!

    Luke Bryan - I’ll admit with no shame that I love Luke Bryan, always have. I constantly listen to him and I’m a huge stuck up country music traditionalist but I do like him a lot. He’s bro country, he can be poppy at times, but he has some undeniably great songs
    Michael Tenpenny - Hate his music. Y’all wanna know how pop his pop country is? His country album got labeled as pop on apple music
    Cole Swindell - Don’t really enjoy his music but one of my favorite songs of the last couple decades is “Ain’t Worth the Whiskey”
    Thomas Rhett - Used to love him, no longer like his music really at all but when he puts out songs like “Country Again” he’s damn good. Also even as a wildly stuck up traditionalist, some of his poppy songs I do really like. “Marry Me” is a great song imo. “Die a Happy Man” is one of my fav songs, I enjoy “Unforgettable” as well as “Life Changes”
