Maybe I should just start a website composed completely of people wanting to give country music a try

 

I confess, I had no clue who Snow Patrol was until I watched the video below.  I must also confess that I like this song. 

Now that that's out in the open lets discuss the fact that the lead singer, Gary Lightbody, has a little side project going that will involve, of course, country music. 

Yep, Gary is the latest in a long line of "let's give country a try" singers.  In a recent interview with the BBC, Gary says he's working on a country record called "Tired Pony." 

"I’ve written that and I just need to record it," said Lightbody to Radio One. "I always thought I had a country album in me and it turns out I did, but I don’t know whether people will dig it or not. It's just something I wanted to get out of my system."

Speaking about the solo material Lightbody continued,"A lot of the stuff we’ve written recently is just so leftfield that it just wouldn’t fit, so we’ve had to kind of invent other ways for getting that out."

I don't know you guys but I'm just so tired of fighting the influx of people wanting to try out country music.  Maybe I should just go with the flow and stop fighting it, I mean who would've thought Hootie would be a good country fit?  Definitely not me.

Yup, Faith and Tim started their entire 2007 leg of the Soul 2 Soul 2 Tour with Chasing Cars and it was freaking incredible. There's a bunch of videos on youtube of it. I had been a long time fan of the song to begin with and just about lost it when the first show started and thats what they were opening with.

Hey Shannon I love that song. He did a pretty good job. I would love to see a video on here of Faith and Tim doing "Chasing Cars". I heard that they have done it at some concerts.
