I've been doing a fair amount of driving over the past couple of weeks and have used the time to check out some new music. Really impressed by Lady Antebellum's new album 'Need You Down' even if it is a country album. Driving through the hills, glens and lochs of Scotland in the summer sun with this album cranked up really gets the endorphins poppin'. There are some great songs on the album and the production is faultless. One aspect I really like is how the male and female singer weave their voices together, each taking the lead at different points in songs. My favourite song on the album is 'Run to You' which has some beautiful lyrics:
RUN TO YOU lyrics
(Dave Haywood / Charles Kelley / Hillary Scott / Tom Douglas)
I run from pain
I run from prejudice
I run from pessimists
But I run too late
I run my life
Or is it running me
Run from my past
I run too fast
Or too slow it seems
When lies become the truth
That’s when I run to you
Chorus
This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you
I run to you baby
And when it all starts coming undone
Baby you’re the only one I run to
I run to you
We run on fumes
Your life and mine
Like the sands of time
Slippin’ right on through
And our love’s the only truth
That’s why I run to you
Repeat Chorus X 2
