Brad Paisley says it perfectly in the song, ‘This is Country Music (Lyrics) ‘This is real, this is your life in a song’

I Write Too! Poems, Quotes & Lyrics – It’s my pleasure to bring you the power of poetic words
You’ll also find my own works of poetry, quotes, song lyrics and sayings dispersed throughout Drageda. Some of the quotations featured are famous by others, and some personally written by me. Where there’s a saying about love, there’s a country song for that, where there’s a quote about persistence, there’s certainly a country song to tell that story.
The poetry and song lyrics I’ve written reflect a multitude of emotions. Viewing the human condition through poetry and song is often a fun and rewarding experience. Many times we find a life event of our own painted in a Poem or Song. The picture of our life in words, unexpectedly brought to us without warning, can be a gift that brings a smile, a tear, love or laughter.
My personal motto is that with some daily inspiration, whether through song or words, we’re reminded that we do have the option of taking the direct route to happiness, potentially living an easier life in the process. Here’s something I’ve put together on The Secret to Life.

An Interesting “Drageda” tidbit…
Did you know you can type the word “drageda” by only using your left hand (when typing in the proper typing method of two hands on the correct keys, on the keyboard<—that’s the old school way)
Try it! “drageda”…strictly a left hand word
Prior to the amalgamation of HubPages and Squidoo, some of you may already know me as Squidoo’s Country Music Contributor. I continue to write and review Country Music and, as mentioned above, you can still find personally authored country music reviews on Hubpages.
However, most of my personal Music Reviews formerly on Squidoo will be landing here, along with future work yet to be written!

Barb’s Blah Blah Disclosure Note:
In some cases, the emotion-reviews written by me have resulted from a Country Artist contacting me personally and asking if I would be willing to do an emotion-review of a particular song or songs, but in most cases the emotion-reviews are written independent of any request. In both cases, my interpretation, opinion and emotional analysis of the song and article about the song is strictly my own, and not meant to reflect any opinions, intentions or thoughts the Artist or the Song Writers may or may not have or had. Although some emotion-song-reviews do tend to tie in with what the song’s emotion was intended for, it’s coincidental (sometimes obvious) and again, is still not meant to claim or state any thoughts, opinions or intentions the artist may or may not have.
There! I took care of that stuff!
