Stealing the Day

I enjoy listening to Seether, Justin Moore, and Kanye just as much as the next adult male. I like listening to tough guy music. However, I’ve come to realize over the past few years that I have a soft spot in my heart for girly stuff like The Band Perry and Taylor Swift. 

There, I said it. I like Taylor Swift. 

I think that as I get older, the more I can envision the cute little wife and kids package presented in songs like The Band Perry’s “All Your Life,” Swift’s “Mine,” or “God Gave Me You ” by Dave Barnes. The more I hear songs like these, the more I realize it’s something I want.

I could attribute this enjoyment of girly romantic music as just an effect of such a wide musical taste. It’s true, I do enjoy everything from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Jay-Z to Ryan Bingham to Dara Maclean to Breaking Benjamin. But who would I be kidding? I mean, I’m not in the high school stage of listening to every sappy girly song my girlfriend shares with me and liking it (or pretending to) or anything, but I won’t deny that there are a few chick songs I listen to and contemplate the future as I listen. I think there are a lot of guys out there that secretly think the same way I do on this.
