Being an avid country listener and a huge fan of the genre, I find myself more often than I should, defending the themes and messages in country songs.
"Country? That's nothing but depressing break-up songs..."
Plain and simple, those that say so are wrong. I could list a dozen country songs off the top of my head that promote just the opposite of splitting, breaking up, divorcing, whatever you'd like to call it. There are countless others compiled in the genre proving that stereotype incorrect.
Keith Urban's The Hard Way from his Be Here album is one of them. Not being a single, it's not a song you'll have ever heard on the radio. Sometimes I find that the obscure cuts that never made it to air time are the hidden gems. Have a listen.
