Regarding Genuine Friendship and Appreciation

To have the support of a dear friend, who is the real-deal, is so important. Everyone may be attracted to you, and may want to be your buddy, when you are successful. However, what happens to those same folks, who initially present themselves as your friend, (if) after the success is lost?

When the chips-are-down, it's your genuine friends who are the ones who show-up at your door-step, offering a helping-hand, with a big heart and smile.

Find Out Who Your Friends Are (feat. Tim McGraw & Kenny Chesney) hits the nail-on-the-head, regarding friendship, integrity, and support. It's a heart-felt song, that Tracy Lawrence sings with his friends: Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney.

The song, may just prompt you to acknowledge and appreciate, who your real friends are.

Wonderment and Beauty is What May We Find If We Look Inwards, From Our Front Porches


Lonestar sings about appreciating a view, that is local. Looking in, we can see how everyday things are actually quite beautiful views to behold. It's all about knowing how good we have it, right where we're at.

My Front Porch Looking In is a reminder that we need not go to a distant island, to find beauty and wonderment, for it may be located right in front of us. From the place where we call home, from our front porches, looking towards our family, we may find the everyday wonders of the world.



Also, the everyday wonders of love can be found in our everyday interactions with our loved ones (of course). This Everyday Love by Rascal Flatts, expresses examples of those wonders, and much like My Front Porch Looking is a reminder that we need not go to a distant island, to find that wonderment, the Rascal Flats song also riminds us of those everyday beautiful views to behold and cherish.

A Song About Infidelity Times-Two, and the Lady In-Between

Kristen Kelly sings of the circumstance of having lost her (used to be) man, to a (used to be) female friend of hers. The song that she sings is: Ex-Old Man, and it is a very catchy tune, about a female who experiences a pair of cheaters (male and female), mutually cheating on her (with each other).

Typically, if an individual loses a lover because of someone that he or she does not know, comes into the picture, then heartbreak is typically difficult to bear. However, if an individual loses a lover because a close friend demonstrates infidelity, then you may imagine the grief.

However; in listening to the song that Kristen Kelly sings, it looks like someone may have made 'minced-meat' out of probable grief; and may she be awarded 'great kudos' for that achievement!

If this song is about a true personal experience of the singer, it certainly turns adversity and loss, into an upbeat triumphing anthem for her (personally), as well as connecting others by (the song) being one of universal relativeness, for listeners who personally know of the 'double-wammy' heartbreak, of losing (two individuals) ~ a lover and a friend, because of 'double-infidelity'.

May the song be a spring-board for losing the grief, and gaining insight and freedom from relationships of infidelity.
