Declaration

Everybody is affected by love and heartbreak at one time in their life or another. To love is to have a very strong affection towards someone or something. People can love anything, from a person, a special gift, a day, a moment, or even a memory. It’s often defined as the closest thing to magic. Heartbreak, on the other hand, can be triggered from a variety of things, but all result in a feeling of loss, intense grief, and deep pain.

I chose ‘Love and Heartbreak in Modern Country Music’ as the concept for my blog, because I believe country music best illustrates life’s loves, and life’s biggest heartbreaks. The tone, melody, and mood in each country song enable the listener to better feel the emotions the artist is trying to portray, while also leaving a long lasting effect on the listener. As a result, country music best reveals the everlasting love, as well as the tragic heartbreaks people face in everyday life.
