Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

C&W Music

There are a lot of reasons why I like listening to C&W.

  • Lyrics often give thanks to God.
  • Lyrics often support our troops and our country.
  • Lyrics often champion doing what’s right over what you want.
  • Lyrics express all types of love in a positive way.
  • I can actually hear and understand the lyrics.
  • I can two-step and polka to it

So why do people talk down on C&W music? If they listen to it, they apologize (i.e. “I don’t usually care for C&W, but I thought this song about patriotism was good…”). They don’t do that for, say, rap music (“I don’t usually listen to rap music, but I thought this song about shooting cops was well done.”)

Ok, so the music isn’t the most challenging, but a lot of the old twangy stuff is long gone (even though as I get older, I appreciate the old twangy stuff more). The new C&W is almost rock.

I’m going to start a C&W Support Club. “Hi, my name is Michael, and I listen to Country Music. My favorite artist is George Strait.” Feel free to sign up below.

    Howdy, My name is Stephen and I listen to both kinds of music, country and western. No real favorite artist but I’m glad LeAnn Rimes came back to were she started.

    Hi my name is Diane and I like C&W music because I can dance to it AND if I need a good cry I just listen to the words.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
