Tunes & Tales: Road Between

The album I'm going to be sharing today is one of my favorites to listen to from start to finish, particularly during the warmer months of the year. Why? Because the vibe it gives me is so summery. If you're wondering what album I might be talking about, let me tell you: Lucy Hale's Road Between. I'm obsessed with her catchy tunes and clever lyrics, and will definitely have this album on rotation this summer (as I did last year).

VIBE: pop country, with a combination of upbeat tunes and slower songs

WHY: It's a fun summer soundtrack!

TRY: Kiss Me & Loved are my two favorites, but You Sound Good To Me is the song I heard first!

You Sound Good to Me / Shuffle, Repeat

I could just sit and listen to you talkin' all night

When you whisper

Yeah, baby, when you lean in

I get a crazy, crazy good kind of feelin' [...]

Tell me

All of your stories

And don't you leave nothin' out 'cause baby, I ain't in a hurry

Every little thing you say

Got a real nice ring to it

The way it rolls off your lips

And oh, when you give me that kiss

From the Backseat / Amy & Roger's Epic Detour

You can see for miles

You can reach the dials,

Sit back and smile from the front seat

You can chase the sun

You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet

When you're sitting shotgun,

You're sittin' pretty and free

Nervous Girls / Winning

I'm that girl you think that's got it figured out.

But I walk around, with a head full of doubt.

The cruelest words about me, come from my own mouth

Red Dress / Me Before You

If I close my eyes, and Imagine you are here.

It'll last for awhile, before you disappear.

So I close my eyes, cause the only thing I fear

Is waking up one day, forgetting you were ever here

Darling, it's you I remember with your red dress on

Goodbye Gone / Dirty Deeds

You let me go and I’m losing sleep, 

Counting your lies like I’m counting sheep.

Now it’s time to right this wrong, 

Boy, I’m gonna getcha goodbye gone. 

I can stay out late if it makes me happy, 

Flirt with the boy who’s looking at me. 

Whatever it takes to break this heartbreak, 

I’ve had way too long

Kiss Me / Right of First Refusal

You talk to some girl

I dance with some guy

Catch each other's eye and we pretend

Like we don't care

But I know you know I know

We ain't really let this go, no [...]

Don't you know I want you with me

And it ain't just cause I'm tipsy

You can act like it's still over

And you don't miss me

Or you could just kiss me

Road Between / Just One Day

I'm still getting to the good part

The breaking down

Learning how to write my story

And I'm in the middle of the madness

The live and lose

Finding who I'm gonna be

From the start till the end

I'm still learning the road between

Lie A Little Better / Wanderlost (Rachel suggested this!)

Been trying to cover

This heart out on my sleeve

Been set on playing this down but

I think you're catchin' on to me

The truth is I'm fallin' to pieces

Anytime that you're around

Trouble is the truth keeps slippin' out

Can't seem to hide what I'm feelin'

Can't believe what I'm sayin' out loud

Truth is there's no turnin' back now

Well, I guess I should have learned how to lie a little better

That's What I Call Crazy / Summer of Sloane

I've been seeing red since you said goodbye

I might break a thing or two sometimes

If you think that sounds crazy, then you should've seen me

Sitting by the phone, all those nights alone [...]

That's what I call crazy

Love Tonight / The Perfect Stranger

I kind of like the way you smile

And maybe that is all I need to know about you right now

Imagination running wild

We can make this whatever we want it, 

Whoa-oh oh-oh

Whatever you're selling, I've already bought it, 

Whoa-oh oh-oh

Whatever this is

Oh, baby, let's not chase it

It's only a kiss

Oh, we don't have to complicate it

Just Another Song / Forever, Interrupted

It's a good day, good cup of coffee to drink

It's a good day, no dishes piled up in the sink

I'm a long way from the place I used to be

It's a good day

Oh, teardrops have gone

Oh, then I hear that song

It takes me back to me and you

Black and white movie I made you watch, then we kissed

Oh, I knew I was falling for you

My Little Black Wedding Dress / I Wish You Were Mine (Rachel suggested this!)

I'm ushered in, I take my place on the bride's side of the church

And it fits me like a glove,

Holds me just tight enough

It's nothing new but it still turns head

My little black wedding dress

Feels Like Home / Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

Ten years old, hair running wild

Dirt on my face and a naughty smile

I was so in love with the place that I called home

Fourteen, growing up fast

Chasing boys and skipping class

Double daring on the kiss me back, scared down to the bone

'Cause there's no one that I gotta be, it all comes down to the simple things

It feels like home and family, my feet in the red clay

My heart runs like the Mississippi, all the way back from the big city

When the sun goes down at the end of the day, nowhere else can make me feel this way

It feels like home

Loved / Devil in Winter

You could rope the moon and bring me all the stars in heaven

It won't change how I feel

You don't have to be a modern-day Shakespeare

You don't have to be anything you're not

You don't have to give me diamonds to impress me

Just give me your heart

Make me feel loved, make me feel beautiful

Make me feel dance-around-the-room, Cinderella kind of magical

Make me believe I'm all that you'll ever need

Hold me close and make me feel a million kinds of wonderful

Baby, your touch, it's more than enough

Make me feel loved
