Why Country Music Is 10 Times Better In The Summertime
theodysseyonline

For all you country music lovers out there, this article is for you. I think we all can agree that there is absolutely nothing in the world like driving down a dirt road in the summertime with your windows down and your radio blasting some good ole’ country music. Before I was a fan, I never understood what the talk was all about. But four years in, and at least ten country concerts later, I fully get it. Don’t get me wrong, country music is good all year long, but there’s something about summertime that makes it ten times better. How? It’s got to be a combination of things. Sunshine. Warm temperatures. Beer. Whiskey. Freedom. Summer is a carefree time where you stay up later, you go on adventures, and you’re able to sit back and relax with your friends. You grill some hamburgers, you crack a drink, and you turn up the country music-- it’s only natural because that’s all about what country music preaches. Go get the girl (or guy), love America, and enjoy your life. The best thing about country music is that it truly celebrates the simplest things in life. It makes you want to be happy, live and love just a little bit more. It makes you realize that everything you’ve ever wanted and needed has always been right in front of you, if only you’re able to see it.

To be honest, during the summertime there’s never a bad time to listen to some country music. Whether it’s during the day when the sun is shining and you’re breaking a little sweat, or late at night while staring up at the stars, there’s a country song for everything. Whether you’re sad, happy, or mad. Whether you want Luke Bryan, Randy Houser, Florida Georgia Line, or Carrie Underwood, country music has it all. It can fit any mood, any day and any time. Summertime is what us country music lovers live for. It’s the time of the year we wait three seasons for.

If you don’t enjoy country music, you will never understand. You will never understand the way it can instantly put a smile on your face, and set a happy vibe for the day. You will never understand the way it makes a car ride a million times more bearable, or a long day’s work more worth it. You will never understand the bliss that comes from singing to your favorite country song at a summertime country concert. You simply just cannot comprehend the power of country music during the summertime.

I urge you, country music enthusiast or not, next time it’s a beautiful summer day, go for a drive, roll down the windows, and play a country song. I think you’ll be a little surprised at how wonderful it truly is during the summertime. And you never know, maybe you’ll just fall in love with the way it makes you feel.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
