Before You

"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | Day 3
"Before You" by David J

This song reminds me of my trip to Nashville several years ago. My wife and I had never been and we went on a whim, to visit some relatives who had recently moved there. We were amazed at just how many music venues there were (some places downtown literally had buildings with multiple floors that had a different bar (and stage to perform on) on every level. We spent several days just wandering in and out of different bars listening to the people who were performing. And while we had planned on seeing some very specific performers, we were even more pleasantly surprised to discover local artists we'd never heard of before.

David J kind of reminds me of those artists. His stage name is totally generic, and he looks like a college frat bro... but he happens to have a decent voice and he wrote a catchy song. I initially found this song on Spotify through the "Discover Weekly" playlist that recommends new songs every week based on your listening habits, but this is totally the kind of song I could imagine stumbling upon in some random bar in Nashville and suddenly becoming a fan.

At the very least, it definitely makes me want to visit Nashville again and discover some new music.
