Song Of The Day: beat the day with one hit

The Way We Are

Scars On 45

This mild-mannered English outfit first drew stateside notice when several of its songs were featured on “CSI: New York” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” and on its first full-length (following a pair of 2011 EPs), Scars on 45 sounds determined to maintain a home on TV. Strummy, harmony-glazed ditties like “Burn the House Down,” “Warning Sign” and “The Way That We Are” feel custom-designed for emphasizing moments of emotional revelation, with ingratiating folk-pop melodies and lyrics about fighting in the pouring rain to hide one’s tears.

I heard this song in an Insta Reel today and now its stuck in my head😁

I leave you a topic to start the week. The latest addition to my Jukebox 2025 playlist

Magpie

Peach Pit

😊

On October 25, after two years of silence, Peach Pit returned to the musical sphere with the release of their fourth full-length album, "Magpie", which consists of 11 tracks and runs for just under 46 minutes. For fans of the quirky Canadian indie-pop group, "Magpie" had a lot to live up to, considering the success of their debut "Being So Normal" (2018) and the unapologetic authenticity of "You and Your Friends" (2020 ). 

Magpie's upbeat mood and fast pace are a departure from the slower rhythms and melancholic themes of From 2 to 3. Smith stated that this change was on purpose, as the band prefers to play upbeat songs live.

"Magpie" follows the story of someone who struggles with compulsive drinking habits. Despite the song's unfortunate undertones, it manages to be the most uplifting song on the album, with an overall upbeat feel.

Probably the most played song this weekend 😊

I Dare You

Rascal Flatts

😊

Rascal Flatts have released their new single with Jonas Brothers, “I Dare You,” challenging even the most weary hearts to love unabashedly.

Written by Nick Jonas, Shay Mooney, Dewain Whitmore Jr and Tommy English, the nostalgic yet fresh track features strikingly vibrant harmonies and pop-centric production with a tinge of twang—and it’s available to stream now!

“We’re so excited to kick off this next chapter of Rascal Flatts with this single, working with Kevin, Joe and Nick is such a blast, they’re class acts,” said Jay DeMarcus. “I think this song fits perfectly into our catalogue while also showing off something new and exciting, and we can’t wait to share it with our fans on the road!”

Love Last

Wilder Woods

😊

Curious, Bear Rinehart's third solo release as Wilder Woods, unapologetically explores all the curious corners of Rinehart's sound, driven by his genre-bending approach to American hymn music. It's a broad mix of textures, sharp compositions, held together not by a lyrical thread or an overarching story, but simply by the enthusiasm of a veteran musician still eager to stretch his legs and cover new ground.

Leader of the powerful NEEDTOBREATHE uses his solo effort as a way to unleash some of the reflections in corners of his mind that not many get to see.

"Grateful this thing finally came out!" Rinehart said. "With all the things going on in the world, if you've taken the time to listen, I can't thank you enough. Come see us on the road this year! I promise you a good time."

I'm Gonna Love You

Cody Johnson, Carrie Underwood

😊

This one has been a long time coming, with Cody Johnson first revealing he had a duet with Carrie Underwood up his sleeve in March 2023. However, when his next studio album, Leather, arrived later that year, fans were surprised and somewhat disappointed to see Carrie's name not appear on the tracklist.

It was then confirmed that Leather would be a double album and fortunately... Cody Johnson's long-awaited Carrie Underwood duet, 'I'm Gonna Love You', was finally released as the lead single on September 27, 2024.

'I'm Gonna Love You' takes the format of a classic country duet, with Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood choosing to keep the songwriting stripped back and intimate throughout. The production is sparse, with a brief but striking electric guitar solo towards the end of the song, the only deviation from the steady, undulating flow of 'I'm Gonna Love You', which seems to symbolize the stability of the love they sing about.
 

Somewhere Over the Radio

Matt Stell

😊

They asked him "Somewhere Over the Radio" and he was very intelligent and sincere. What is the story behind that song?

The Arkansas native moved to Nashville in 2014 to be a songwriter. He emerged as a thoughtful songwriter and equally compelling artist in 2019 with back-to-back No. 1 singles “Prayed for You” and “Everywhere but On.”

My friend Clint Lagerberg had that idea. We sat around just him and I, we wrote that song all day one day. I tried to do it right because it's a cool title and I want to tell a story. It's not about me, but it could have been me if I'd been from Kansas. I love songs that tell a story of how music changes lives and so does love.

I think one lyric that hits home for me is that I knew you'd go places, baby / I wish those places weren't so far away. I'm talking about leaving the house. When you're from a real small town in the south... Leaving home is hard. Almost all of my family lives in the same county we grew up in, so leaving was a big deal and it wasn't easy. Ultimately, I'm glad I did it because I wouldn't have been able to come to Nashville and be around songs and make a life out of music if I hadn't. But that didn't mean it was easy. I think we did a decent job of explaining that in an interesting way.
