Modern Country Love SongsCountry music became popular in the United States' southern regions during the 1900s. Today, country musicians maintain the music's traditional roots of old folk and Celtic string and wind instruments, but many have incorporated pop instruments like drums, which bring a new flavor. One of the most popular song subjects is romance. Each song is a blend of lyrics that are easy to understand, and a sound that is hard to forget. Below, these ten love songs are examples of what country music listeners enjoy hearing. Zac Brown Band
"Free," from the same album, is about the man's happiness being with the one he loves, even though they're poor. It talks about the couple enjoying simplicity, such as a van drive. To them, freedom is being in love. Toby KeithHis album "How do you like me now" features the song "Hold You, Kiss You, Love You." The song is a man's request to hold his sweetheart in his arms. He tells her she looks like she needs him, and he asks her to surrender herself to his love. "Rock You Baby" is from the album "Unleashed." He sings about his determination to win a woman's affection. In spite of her broken heart, he promises to love and help heal her. In spite of her insecurity, he promises to make her feel safe. Lady AntebellumIn "Can't Take My eyes Off You," from the album "Lady Antebellum," she can't believe that the man she loves didn't hurt her heart. He broke her protective walls, and all she wants now is spend the evening with him. She finds she can't help trusting, looking at him and falling in love all over again. The same album also features "I Run To You." She sings about the only safe place she finds from her fears is in her man's arms. Everything can fall apart around her, but she finds peace when she runs to the one she loves. Brad Paisley"She's everything," from the album "Time Wasted," is about a man who can't stop talking about his woman. He compares her to things he enjoys in life, and he wants this woman as his lifelong partner, willing to die for her if necessary. He sings about his independent woman in "She's her own woman," from the album "American Saturday Night." He appreciates her independence - she doesn't nag him. But he reminds his listeners that the woman belongs to him, so don't try to mess up his relationship. Carrie Underwood"We're Young And Beautiful," from the album "Some Hearts," celebrates youth romance. She asks her man to have fun while they're young enough to enjoy it. Before life's toils settle in, she wants to live in the moment and love like they mean it. In "I'll stand by you," from the album "Other Songs," she swears that her loyalty will never die. Through thick and thin, she will comfort and support her man. Even if he's wrong at times, her love won't die. UniversalityCountry music is the result of a successful musical search for American originality. But there's no ethnic originality about love. All cultures can relate to affection, because everyone needs it in some way. Its original sound with its universal themes will keep country music popular.
