I enjoyed this song…right up until the part about praying for our “boys”. My wife is in the US Army, so maybe pray for both genders would be more suitable.

I don’t think he’s even trying anymore.

Yes Yes Yes! I totally agreed on what Devin has said “The two biggest travesties of recent memory are Ronnie Dunn’s Cost of Livin’ and Chris Young’s Neon. Those are fantastic songs that got/have gotten NO love at all. Such a shame.”.

Since Ronnie Dunn Cost of Livin is over already. I shall now talk about Chris Young Neon song! It seriously got to be one of the best modern country songs I’ve heard in radio in a while. Can’t believe a few weeks ago it started to stale at the 24-25 place and now it has started to lose spins. Srsly how can country radio lose such a great awesome song! the thing is there’s still some time to save this song. So I demand everyone to go spam your local radio station to play this song!!

The thing that bugs me about country songs like this today is that there simply isn’t any reality to them, just merely what Ben says in his original review, a lot of pandering by use of the usual tropes in song lyrics. That an audience accepts this so uncritically, but knowing deep inside that they’re being had and insulted, however, is the real tragedy of it all (IMHO).

…fair enough, it’s a tad more superficial than “sunday morning coming down”, but the song describes a rural america that i quite often found like that on my trips through the us.

of course, one usually didn’t get “the full monty” like in these three minutes or so and grits still ain’t my favourite breakfast supplement, but “y’all come back again” just sounds jolly friendly in a sort of orally shoulder slapping way. in the british midlands the cashier used to calll you “luv” when settling the check.

if nothing else, it makes a good soundtrack to go with the dixie-holiday pixels on your facebook page. sounds like a minor hit to me, actually.

Another song about trucks again. When is it going to end? I wouldn’t be surprised if there is going to be a new category at the CMA Awards this year — Truck Song of the Year.

“The two biggest travesties of recent memory are Ronnie Dunn’s Cost of Livin’ and Chris Young’s Neon. Those are fantastic songs that got/have gotten NO love at all. Such a shame.”
– THIS!

I’m with you Devin. As we wait for good songs to slowly go up the charts, one after another of guys hit #1. Now Blake just hit #1 with “over” which I think is one of his worse songs to date. But I know he’s got the world by the tail now with the hit show “The Voice”.

I’ve given up trying to predict radio success, Ben. I’ve seen plenty of times an artist that’s had a couple top 10, or even number one hits in a row release a song that’s not radically different from what they’ve been doing and it just gets tanked. Other times artists release songs over and over again to no avail and for some reason one of the songs (usually not even the best one) strikes a chord with radio and they play it. There’s just no rhyme or reason to it. So yeah, this could be a hit. It sounds like other songs out there to be sure. If I were betting, I’d probably say it stalls out in the 30-20 range. BUT I DONT COMPREHEND THE MADNESS.
