Last night at the ACM awards Hunter Hayes premiered his new Single "I Want Crazy!"
I'm pretty much in love with it, I think it is my favorite song from him yet!

ACM's
The ACM awards are coming up this Sunday and I Can. Not. Wait!! It is going to be so good this year! They have some of the most amazing performances lined up.
One of the performances I am most excited to see play out is Hunter Hayes, who by the way is nominated with six awards (seriously so proud of him, one of the nicest people I have ever met. I absolutely love watching his career just explode! He deserves all of those noms!) Hunter will not only be performing his new, never before heard single "I Want Crazy" but he will also be performing with Stevie Wonder! Yes you read that right, Hunter Hayes is teaming up with Stevie Wonder!He and Stevie will be performing one of Stevie's big hits. What one? No one knows, it has all been really tight lipped as to what song they will doing, but we all know it's going to be amazing. I am thrilled for Hunter because I know what a major fan he is of Mr.Wonder.
But the one I am most thrilled about, is George Strait and Garth Brooks! For the first time in history these two major country stars will perform together! I get chills thinking about it, I wish I could be there in person to see this happen. Its going to be one amazing performance. They will be honoring the late Dick Clark and will be introduced by none other than the Queen of Country, Reba!
There are so many more all star performnces that will be happening. Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and so many more!
Plus Luke Bryan is co-hosting and really, what more could you ask for?
Tune in to see how this all plays out this Sunday April 7th on CBS. Check your local listings for times!

Goat Edition
Have you all seen these goat edition of popular songs making the rounds on social media? They're so ridiculous that they're funny! I think my favorite is the Taylor Swift "Trouble".... But really whoever did all these has way to much time available to even think of this!

Wednesday Words
So sometimes I get these ideas for blog posts that I think are just absolutely brilliant and amazing but in reality they really probably aren't, I'm realistic I know this. I'm not even sure anyone reads my blogs, I am more then likely just rambling on and on to myself, but I'm okay with that.... I think!
Anyways my latest "brilliant" idea is Wednesday Words, a weekly blog posts about song lyrics. I think song lyrics can be so powerful and sometimes they can change someone's life or out look on things! Often the lyrics to one specific song are the reason I will fall in love with a certain artists music and make me take a second look at them when I haven't really ever paid any attention before.
My all time favorite song lyrics (I highlighted my favorite parts) are from the song "Iris" from the Goo Goo Dolls, I think this song is beautiful!
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am"

"And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
and sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
and sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am"
I can't really put into words why I love these lyrics so much. Each line really has so much meaning behind them and can be interpreted in so many ways! But I think it is a beautiful song and has been one of my all time favorite song for years and years.

New Music Monday: Ben Rector
Ben Rector isn't exactly a new artist but I only recently discovered him, I had heard "When A Heart Breaks" before but had never paid much attention to (now its one of my absolute favorite songs!).
A while back I was watching "Make it or Break it" (Don't Judge me!!) and on one of the episodes there was a song that had a line that stuck out to me, "I've got scars to prove that I don't need you, but my heart knows that I always do." the song, titled "You and Me", had also previously been on One Tree Hill (how I missed that since I watched that show religiously is beyond me). But I absolutely love that line! I had to look up the song immediately which led to about an hour of looking up his other songs. I haven't found anything by him that I don't absolutely love. I love his voice and his lyrics to his songs are just amazing and so sweet and different from other things you hear on the radio these days.
So who is Ben Rector, well I did a little digging and here are 5 things you should know about him!

So who is Ben Rector, well I did a little digging and here are 5 things you should know about him!
1. During his freshman year at the of college
he released a self-titled EP that featured the song “Conversation”,
which went on to win the Grand Prize in the pop category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2006.(He is the youngest person to ever win this award in the pop category!)
2. He has released 4 albums, 2 EPs, and 1 single
3. In 2010 He was #11 on Billboards Heatseeker chart.
4. Took Piano as a small child but didn't seriously get into music until high school when he picked up the guitar and began writing
5.Moved to Nashville in 2009 and recorded a Chirstmas EP, with classic songs on which he arranged all the music and played all the instruments recorded on each track!
It is really hard for me to pick one favorite song by him, so I will post my top 3. Check them out and make sure to follow Ben on Twitter, Facebook and Youtube!
You and Me
She Is
When A Heart Breaks

New Music Monday
Has it really been since October since I last posted? Sorry guys, this new year I vow to be better! I know I always say that but I promise to be better, I already have lots of fun interviews set up so be watching out for those!
I am also going to start having guest bloggers where I let some music enthusiasts take over for the day and go to town telling you all about their favorite artist(s)!
So on to new music Monday. Anyone remember British pop group BBMak? Well They were one of my favorites back in the day. One thing I liked about them is they weren't the typical pop boy band, Ste and Christian played their own instruments rather then dancing for one.
Recently I found out via twitter that Ste McNally is a new band called 10 Reasons to Live, of course I had to look them up right away. I actually really love them! Their song Falling Apart is great and definitely worth listening to. On repeat!
Catch Me If You Can is pretty great too!
10 Reasons to Live consists of
Ste Mcnally (Singer and sometimes guitar player), John Owens (Bass), Paul Garrett (Rhythm Guitar), Stevie B (lead guitar) & Craig Smith (Drums).
I honestly couldn't find a whole lot of info on these guys but I will keep searching and fill in all the blanks later!
In the mean time, watch their music videos, Follow them on Twitter and like them on Facebook!

I love, L-O-V-E, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift.

Each one is so unique in every way!
My all time favorite cover is by country duo Kingston
