It takes quite a bleak situation and turns it into something that can give people hope. This aspect of country I think needs more publicity. It is here that the stereotypes of country is a world of its own and lead to people often looking over country music.

Even if someone does not like the actual music aspect of it, I think if they actually sat down and listened to just the lyrics of some of the songs they would view country music completely different. I believe country music is one of the most expressive genres of music. Within this genre, one song can relate to many people going through different situations, yet still similar in a way. People that listen to country music do not feel 'alone' in the problems they are facing. As well, many songs like Stand by Rascal Flatts and Baby Girl by Sugarland gives strength to people because it shows that people can overcome hardship and survive. I also think it teaches people to enjoy life (Just not today and Don't Blink by Kenny Chesney) Country music does have its songs that are comical and silly, but many of them have a really good meaning or story behind them.
