Maybe I should just start a website composed completely of people wanting to give count...

 

I confess, I had no clue who Snow Patrol was until I watched the video below.  I must also confess that I like this song. 

Now that that's out in the open lets discuss the fact that the lead singer, Gary Lightbody, has a little side project going that will involve, of course, country music. 

Yep, Gary is the latest in a long line of "let's give country a try" singers.  In a recent interview with the BBC, Gary says he's working on a country record called "Tired Pony." 

"I’ve written that and I just need to record it," said Lightbody to Radio One. "I always thought I had a country album in me and it turns out I did, but I don’t know whether people will dig it or not. It's just something I wanted to get out of my system."

Speaking about the solo material Lightbody continued,"A lot of the stuff we’ve written recently is just so leftfield that it just wouldn’t fit, so we’ve had to kind of invent other ways for getting that out."

I don't know you guys but I'm just so tired of fighting the influx of people wanting to try out country music.  Maybe I should just go with the flow and stop fighting it, I mean who would've thought Hootie would be a good country fit?  Definitely not me.
