Here are six country songs you should not sleep on, even if the country isn't your go-to genre.
1. "Cover Me Up" by Morgan Wallen
This song is just so good. The feeling you get when singing to it just hits different. It's so soft and has the perfect amount of pop meets country mixture. The twang in his voice and the acoustic aspect really emphasize the country-side of the song. The storytelling within the lyrics is just phenomenal as well.
2. "Burning House" by Cam
Cam has such an amazing voice. She is such a good performer and can really make you feel what she's feeling. This song has such a sad emotion that comes with it, but also a sense of peace. The lyrics are so beautifully written and just helps the song flow so nicely. One of the songs you feel like you know, even if you don't.
3. "Break Up In The End" by Cole Swindell
I just think this song by Cole Swindell is so cute. It is about a breakup, but it's more about how even though he knows the outcome of the relationship, he wouldn't change a thing. I think sometimes it can be hard to look back at a failed relationship and think, "yeah, I'd do that again." It's a really interesting take on a typical breakup song.
4. "Greatest Love Story" by LANCO
This song makes me want to fall in love. The storytelling is so well done. The typical Romeo and Juliet story, but with a small-town twist. The song starts off talking about the love between two teenagers and how life got in the way of their relationship. It's just such a cute song and the ending makes me so happy.
5. "Leave The Pieces" by The Wreckers
I remember listening to this song by The Wreckers when I was younger, I'd just belt it out in the car not knowing what they were talking about. now, that I know a little more, this song still makes me want to belt it out, but now with a little more understanding. It's a really empowering breakup song that just emphasizes how you don't need a person to pick up your pieces, you're fully capable of doing it yourself.
6. "What Are You Listening To?" by Chris Stapleton
Chris Stapleton did it again with this song. The vulnerability of the lyrics really makes this song personal. The stage of a breakup where you just wondering what they're doing is a super weird phase. It's sort of like that awkward middle stage of still being hung up on a person, and getting over them. This song sums up the thoughts that go through your head when in this phase.
