It is said that Country Music has a story in every song. A funny story, a sad story, an angry story, a happy story, a revenge story, a reminiscent story or just a plain old ‘Somebody done somebody wrong’ story. There is always a story to tell and it can usually be followed quite easily.
A few years back, I was suffering from very high levels of workplace stress resulting in Depression, Anxiety and quite a few Anger issues. Psychologists have attributed my switching the musical genre I listen to as a major step in overcoming some of these issues.
The theory goes that songs that have a story and that you can sing along to (like nobody is listening of course!) provide a necessary distraction from the stressors that can manifest themselves into high stress levels. Singing along quite loudly can also be used as a ‘relief-valve’ for stress that is already present.
I am now very lucky that I have a job driving Road Trains through the outback and my office consists of just me singing at the top of my (very bad) voice.
This location is not really a relaxing location but it is where I hook up my ‘Dog Trailer’ to make my truck into a Road Train, say “Truck Yeah” and head off on my “Two Lanes of Freedom”.
Please be careful here and park well out of the way (perhaps near the shop) being aware of large trucks trying to manoeuvre in the area.
