Music : Luke Bryan


        A country artist named Luke Bryan is one of many country artists that I like. I've liked Luke since he came out with his first song "All my friends say", in August of 2007. The reason why I have liked his music is that sometimes its groovy and fun to dance too, then other times it's loving and sad but all of his lyrics are really unique, for instance, one of his songs called "My kind of Night" on the album Crash My Party, Luke sings,
                         
                                                  "Get yourself  a little catfish dinner"

The metaphor here renames both "catfish" and "dinner", it means you should go out for the night, doesn't really mean have a catfish dinner. As in another good song, "Play it Again" on the album Crash My Party he sings,

                                                    " I was scannin like a fool"

This simile here indicated by the "like" it was comparing "scannin" to "fool". The image that I get is him searching for someone in the crowd looking like a fool. Like is if he is looking for a girl that he loves. Finally, one of my favorite song "Do I" on the album Doin My Thing he says,

                         "Remember when we didn't have nothing but a simple kind of lovin"

The metaphor here is that he wants to remember the love that they used to have, cause the love that they had wasn't difficult. All of Luke Bryan songs, even country music in general, they all use some kind figurative language and sometimes it's goofy and weird but it makes the song click and come together and it makes it worth listening too.
