and now for something completely different!

Normally my music taste is centered around mellow indie rock with beautiful lyrics.

Or indie rock without any words at all... 

Or basically just hipster music.

However, sometimes a song outside of those boundaries catches my attention somehow.

 With these songs, my taste becomes basically just hipster music with some random mismatched stuff mixed in. 

Anyway, maybe it's free on iTunes, or it's in a movie, or I hear it on a commercial, but no matter how I find it, it's usually either a) utterly beautiful, b) lyrically ingenious, or c) both.

Though it's almost never county, so this is kind of unique. 

(Next thing you know I'll be posting heavy metal, or hip hop, or rap, or something else totally out of my character. ;) )

I think that this song falls into both categories.

It's all over the radio, so lots of y'all have probably heard it, but now I want you to analyze it.

I think that not only is it pretty, but it has a wonderful message - one that most celebrities/popular musical artists don't understand and/or care about.

The lyrics to this song more or less explain some of my standards. Which is neat to me!

Enjoy it. Tell me what you think after reading the lyrics more carefully. :)

I also really like the music video.

Just a Kiss

Lady Antebellum

Lying here with you so close to me

It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile

I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this
Let's just take it slow

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight

I know that if we give this a little time
It'll only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
It's never felt so real, no it's never felt so right

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight

No I don't want to say goodnight
I know it's time to leave, but you'll be in my dreams

Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, oh, let's do this right, with just a kiss goodnight
With a kiss goodnight
Kiss goodnight 

Nerdy "yup, Kira's a stereotypical girl" moment - Someday I hope that this will be my "song" with someone, because it's adorable...

Yup, that's pretty much it. 

The. End.
