Moments Like This

Moments like this are the reason I love Country Music, or music in general. Country music is the most honest genre there is. The songs are so real and filled with meaning, that effect everyone in different ways love, loss, life, fun, friendships and the list goes on.

When you get one of those very special songs that comes along and has a lasting and pivotal impact on people, it is something that should be shared and celebrated. Country Music has so many of these special songs.

Some don't realize just how special a song may be till they see it being performed. The instance I am speaking of happened this past Sunday at the ACM Awards. There were many good performances throughout the night, with a lot of the artists trying different gimmicks and arrangements to make their performance stand out.

There was song that brilliant change to it's instrumental rearrangement, and you knew when you saw them musicians being used that this was going to be one of those special moments. Carrie Underwood's Temporary Home was that moment, the performance of the night. The song was stripped down, her band replaced with classical instruments, the stage was simple with a white curtain back drop, a carpet of pastel flower petals, and in the center stood Ms. Underwood. She was beaming while performing her self proclaimed favorite song. Her vocals were flawless and astounding, a standard that all female artist should strive for.

She brought the crowd to their feet with tears in their eyes, when you can do that to your peers you know it was something special.

Here it is hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
