I actually enjoy this song. It seems to be working for him since he is currently on tour and selling records.

Music is admittedly full of recycled themes; it’s inevitable. The trick is for songwriters and singers who sing them to find ways to make them seem fresh, which is what’s missing in this particular recycled themed song.

It just infuriates me when someone criticizes a single particular song for having a “recycled theme” when they praise a different song for the exact same theme.

“I still can’t help but feel a distinct “Hootie” party vibe”

You know why? Because he established his name in “Hootie”. The thing is, if you never give him a chance to do his own thing you will always hear the “Hootie” vibe.

The song, along with ALL music of this “genre”, is generic; in style, structure and feel. Honestly, there’s no real country music now-a-days. It’s just become pop with steel guitars, mandolins and banjos.

I happen to like both Darius and the song. It just infuriates me when someone says that a single particular song has a “recycled theme” when they praise a different song for the exact same theme.

Gee, I was hoping “All I Want” would be his next single. That song is awesome…

For the record (since I didn’t put it in my original comment, and since I’m going for my personal best in comments on this blog in one day), I am a big fan of Darius Rucker, from his Hootie days especially, and he immediately won me over with “Don’t Think …” and some of the audio I heard pre-album from his radio tours. This song just does nothing for me.

No idea. Upon rereading what I posted, I’m not sure why I did that.

Stephen, if a song is on the charts and does well that makes it a hit. Why the need to put “” around the word?
