My favorite band is Zac Brown Band. I enjoy their music for many reasons. My favorite type of music is country because it has a lot of meaning and you can almost always relate to the lyrics. Zac Brown Band is out of Atlanta, Georgia and they won Grammy’s Best New Artist in 2010. Every one of their songs has a different meaning. Some of their songs are slower and have more meaning to them. Examples “Free”, “Day That I Die”, “Goodbye In Her Eyes”, “Sweet Annie”, “Keep Me In Mind” and many other records. Some of their other songs are a little more upbeat than the other ones, but they still have a good meaning behind them. Some examples are “Chicken Fried”, “Highway 20 Ride”, “Toes” and many other examples. Many emotions are brought out when people listen to Zac Brown Band. When I listen to Zac Brown Band songs, I feel relaxed and they put me in a better mood. They all just have a great story and meaning to the lyrics. In comparison to other songs, I would listen to Zac Brown Band over any other music any day. They are not the tawny country like some of the other artists. My favorite song is “Free”. “So we live in our old van, Travel all across this land, me and you. We'll end up hand in hand, somewhere down on the sand, just me and you”. This is the opening lyrics to the song and it just sets off the sound on the right note. The main chorus of the song is “Just as free. Free as we’ll ever be. Just as free. Free as we’ll ever be. Ever be. No we don’t have a lot of money. No we don’t have a lot of money. No we don’t have a lot of money. All we need it love”. That is my favorite line in the whole song because he is saying we don’t need money and all we need is love. I agree with what the critic says about the music because it is very calming. Going to see this band or but their music is so worth your money. I have seen them in concert and they sound just as amazing as on my iPhone. Not many artists or bands sound the same in person. I would recommend listening to Zac Brown Band.
