6 Country Songs that Calm You Down
Sometimes the right country song can be our therapist.
Let’s face it though, one person’s idea of being calmed down is another person’s idea of pushing buttons.
As an example, getting lost in a country song that redirects your stress to the mundane may be relaxing to some while listening to a song that more specifically relates to your own story works best for others.
Here you’ll find six country songs that calm you down, and that specifically speak to different areas of life.
Some fall into the ‘get my mind off of things category,’ while others are more life-topic specific.
Add each of them to your playlist and, when you feel you need a little calming, blast them through your headphones!
(1) Beer With Jesus, by Thomas Rhett
If you could have a beer with Jesus, what would you talk about? Would you ask him how he was always able to turn the other cheek to save others? Maybe you’d ask how he changed a sinners heart, or what’s on the other side and is mom and daddy alright?
If life is stressing you out, and you need a bit of spiritual calm, this gorgeous song by Thomas Rhett is both memorable and reflective. Taking stock of our lives often hits us in times of stress, and perhaps we find our way by merely growing through our painful lessons or experiences.
