Long-forgotten Lyrics Of My Life

Millionaire

Chris Stapleton ~ Millionaire

Two or three years ago Chris Stapleton came out with his song, Tennessee Whiskey and I fell in love with it. For one, I'm a Jack and Coke girl, but also I love the lyrics as well as the tempo of the song itself. Of course I started listening to his other songs. While there are a quite a few to choose from, I decided on this one because it speaks to me.

We also had a chance to go see him in concert two years ago at the Hollywood Amphitheatre and it was worth it. My little brother in law got us the tickets for my husband's 30th birthday and we had a blast. Sure it was hot and humid as St. Louis always is, but it was worth it. The place was packed, but listening to his songs and the old school rock he played, priceless.

I've been to many concerts, but never an American singer. I guess as years go by and I've adjusted to more than this, what some people call americanized life, I've grown rather fond of country rock music or country music in general. While many people will say that we need to stay true to our roots and where we're from I don't entirely agree.

Yes, we should remember where we're from, the language spoken should be thought to our kids, but it's also hard. Our parents' generation is very different. We think different. That's not to say that everyone our age thinks the same as my husband and I. I've introduced my kid to the music familiar to us, doesn't matter the language. We don't speak Spanish but that doesn't mean she shouldn't listen to those artists. Music is universal. You can't go wrong with it and it never hurts to learn another language.

I'm a wild child at heart. Always have been. I've learned to dance to the beat of my own drum and I'll try to teach Daisy the same thing. Don't change because someone else thinks you need to. Don't feel obligated to like the same things as others. You are allowed to question everything in the world, to find the answers for yourself and not simply take someone's word for it. Feel free to be different.
