Music at its pure beauty

Thank God for country music. This is one of the reasons why I can still go along with my life. Because there's country music that helps the pain seem more bearable. Thank you Jesus. Thank you for the beautiful Country music.

George Jones & Tammy Wynette - Golden Rings

And I bet there's a lot more from where all these came from. This is another escape for me, besides taking a long nap. I fnd joy listening to country music and the older the better. There's wisdom in their pain, in their voices that reach out to me and not only gives me hope but also the reason to believe in the good and pure things that still exist in my life despite all the heartaches and awful memories. 
I will always believe in country music. And I will pass it down to my children and hope they will find their path with this genre. As long as this world exist, so will country music.

Today Is Your Day

Country pop diva Shania Twain released her first single in nearly six years on June 12th, 2011 - The gorgeous ballad "Today Is Your Day" may not be part of any album - it's just a one off single - but nevertheless it proves that after all this time Shania still got it, and may continue, if she wants, releasing great quality music. The lyrics in "Today Is Your Day" are simply beautiful, and Shania successfully transmits all the emotion in her vocals. It's like the 'Woman In Me' days all over again! "Today Is Your Day" was produced by David Foster and Nathan Chapman.

(I copied the above from http://www.directlyrics.com/shania-twain-today-is-your-day-lyrics.html. I know it's a little unorthodox of me to re-post published snippets, but this one I just have to. As we all knew, Shania went through a very, very, very, rough divorce from her husband of 15 years that ultimately made her lost her voice. Yet 2011, she rose back and now, with this new single, I believe she is here to stay and take up her reign as the Queen of Country Music, once again. Hope this song inspires you as much as it has inspired me, today.)    
 
You got what it takes you can win...

You got what it takes you can win
Today is your day to begin
Don’t give up here, don't you quit
The moment is now, this is it
I know that you can, then you will
Get to the top of the hill
Part of the fun is the climb
You just gotta make up your mind

That today is your day
And nothing can stand in your way
Today is your day
Everything’s goin’ your way

Today, today, today, today

When somebody throws sticks and stones
All they can break are your bones
And life's gonna kick around
Then kick you again when your down


But today is your day
And nothing can stand in your way
Today is your day
Everything’s goin’ your way

Today, today, today, today

Life's goin' to kick you
It's goin' to kick you around
It's goin' to kick you down

Dust yourself off, no regrets
This is as good as it gets
Don't expect more, or less
Just go out and give it your best

Today is your day
And nothing can stand in your way
Today is your day
Everything’s goin’ your way

Today, today, today, today

Today is your day....
