WEEK 1: Sam Hunt - Take Your Time

       This was my familiar music.  I hear it practically everyday, sometimes even multiple times a day.  Sam Hunt is considered country music (I know this because I listen to the country station and its on... ALL THE TIME!)  Something that irritates me about the song, I don't hear any country! Personally I like the new age country/pop that we have recently (I am a 90s kid, I have to like pop).  But... this has no country feel to it at all.  I am now ranting about how much I do not like this song.  But I feel like the only reasons are the fact that it is always on and that its not in the proper genre!  I think the melody is absolutely beautiful.  I love pianos, they just make a song more romantic and meaningful for some reason.  Mixed with the guitar just makes for a great sound.  Song dynamics, Sam Hunt basically speaks the song except for the chorus.

      Hank Williams Sr. - Tear in my beer
Recommended by my very country boyfriend because he knows the music I do not like and would never have listened to before.  Gee golly he was right (don't tell him that)!  This is the type of country music that I never listened to because I thought it was stupid and boring.  Maybe it is something with the beat.  I do not know how to explain it or word it properly but I feel like there is nothing to it, its the same notes over and over again.  Plus, the song is depressing.  Is your life really that bad Hank Williams Sr???  This song just makes me want to curl up in bed and cry.  I guess maybe that works for some people.  I could not connect.
Instruments used: guitar (pretty sure)
No change in pitch or dynamics (maybe that is why it was so boring for me).
