Rams Head The Blog

Music speaks to the soul; often bringing back memories of childhood, friendship, celebrations and life’s journey in general. But, especially in moments of despair, music often is the outlet that liberates us, giving us the strength to move on… to fight back… to keep believing… TO GET OVER A MAN!

For me, as a single gal in her 20′s, no artist dared to compare to the vocal that rang from JoDee Messina’s lips.  From her lips, straight to my troubled heart..

 

JoDee’s tunes wrap up the movie he’s just not that into you, combined with Aretha Franklin’s Respect and a touch of Carrie Underwood’s Before He Cheats (without the Louisville Slugger), to create a modern day country “get over him” twang.

Anytime I let an unworthy (aren’t they all unworthy when we break up!) man step on my heart, a simple solution did the trick; a car ride with the top down on my convertible, the breeze blowing through my hair, and me belting out the words to My Give a Damn’s Busted, the ever popular peace out song Bye Bye, or the I’ll show you what you’re missing I’m Alright .  Just a few moments with JoDee and I was fixed from looking to the past and that silly “man”. 

So, the next time that you go thru this: (click here)

Ditch the idea of sulking over a pint of ice cream in your PJ’s with a sad chick flick and instead download a few from JoDee’s greatest hits, pump up the volume and I promise the world will look much brighter thru your honky tonk sunglasses.
