"From The Ground Up" part 2. My least fav type of song from one of my least fav artists in all of music. I know this'll be huge, because the country music fans are suckers for these type of cheesy, sappy, cliched, generic love songs. Hard pass from me though. So why is it that comments like this are fine, but I say the same damn thing and get blocked for a week? Calling them the biggest wimps in Nashville is certainly a reason people may take offense to what you say.

So why is it that comments like this are fine, but I say the same damn thing and get blocked for a week? I don't know, maybe because I didn't call them balls-less wimps in my post? There's a way to express a negative opinion about a song and artist without resorting to that type of comment. What I said was very blunt, but it was my honest opinion about them and the song, and I didn't resort to any type of name calling. Perhaps if you would have done something similar, people wouldn't have had as much of an issue with your post. It's not really about sugarcoating how you feel; be as blunt as you want, but also use common sense when it comes to saying things that could be taken as a personal attack towards the artist or their fans.

Also, the problem with using personal insults or attacks is that it makes your opinion come off as petty. And the fact what you say without resorting to ad hominem should be enough. The behavior is completely unnecessary and immature.

My hatred of this song, and D+S in general, is absolutely vitriolic. I'm not going to handle it with kid gloves: I truly think they are abysmal and their music projects negative stereotypes. Their "brand" personally affronts me and I find their music absolutely toxic. And that's why I don't want to pull any punches when expressing this.

My god, you have to be the most negative person I've ever interacted with. In only the past 30 minutes you've spewed negativity in... the thread for "Good Girl"... Never have I cared less for an artist. This guy jumped the shark years ago. the thread for "Love Wins"... It's clear that this song isn't connecting. Kill this awful garbage and move on. and the thread for "Love Ain't": Why are these guys so vanilla? Mike Eli's voice is yawn-inducingly plain and I have literally never felt that they were a "band". There is literally no harmony or musical interplay whatsoever in their work. We get it, you don't like these songs. But repeatedly posting negative things about them in a rude and blunt fashion isn't going to get you anywhere.

Their is a way to criticize a song without going personal at the artist. Their are songs I absolutely can't stand and artists I don't like. But I am not gonna call them wimps, they are fake and insincere, the music is toxic, and projects negative stereotypes, and general name calling. Their is a way to be blunt, without getting personal. LBTrocks did it well by saying this type of music isn't for him, but he didn't get personal against the duo themselves. He just said he didn't like the song or artist and that was it. Finally you calling all of us on Pulse a bunch of ballsless wimps is personally attacking or insulting all of us, which you should know better to do given how long you have been here. But maybe I should have known better since you are considered on Pulse to be a brat, and have a real lack of empathy, which I can see now why others have that perception of you.

I find it strange you didnβt know that. Even if you cannot stand the duo. But literally nothing within the lyrics is wedding related at ALL. "You'll be down in five" doesn't sound like it's suggesting an imminent wedding, just a date. There's no lines suggesting that this specific day is important, that there's a ring present, that the dress is anything more than a night on the town.

It's a love song that connects with people on a more universal level than simply those who are getting married. Dan + Shay simply say it reminds them of their wives, but that doesn't mean it's the only way their fans (or haters) can interpret the song.

This doesn't need to be a repeat of the "Life Changes" thread. It's not everybody else's job on the forum to spoon-feed you the ability to read articles for yourself or understand basic song lyrics. Just stop.

Because they wrote the song about their now wives, it showcases the feelings they felt, in the same way Scotty wrote about his feelings for Gabi. The feelings the guys felt about these women led them to marry them and those are what are celebrated in the articles and videos.

Yes, they feel so strongly about marrying someone that they didn't even try to mention it once in the lyrics.

Dude, people have tried to explain to you the reasoning time and time again, and you are still being ignorant and trying to start stuff. Just stop, it's quite clear you won't get it, so just please stop now for all of our sakes. I am not even staff and I am getting so annoyed with you in this thread, realize the error in what you are doing and show some empathy.

Enjoy your toxic emasculation, then. I'm out of this thread. Projecting much baby! How about I take some glitter and put you in drag so you can get over this archaic archetype of gender roles. I mean you can have your opinion but stop trying to use a ten pound hammer to convince us of whatever you're trying to convince yourself *batseyelashes Edited oops just seen the post above mine, my bad! I stopped reading when I got to that post of his. I mean wow.

I mean, if someone needed something to be THAT obvious, they're probably too stupid for anyone to want to marry.
So Ten Pound Hammer, how's the single life?This is a nice song.

I think the chart is set up perfectly for this song to spend at least 4 weeks at #1. Next week it should easily be #1. Then the gap between "Speechless" and the next group of songs by Dustin Lynch, Dierks Bentley and Kip Moore is so huge right now that D+S would naturally get 2 weeks at #1. After that, there's the holiday slowdown where everything slows down for a couple weeks, that should keep them at the top through the holidays giving them a month long run at #1.
