(Finished July 1st, 2026) Part 8 of Those Amazing and Poignant Songs That Touch Your Soul

Hello,

I always say the “Twisters” soundtrack is the best CD of 2024. At least 20 of the 29 songs are near classics. Country music isn’t even close to being my favorite genre, but I’m not a hater. But I can’t believe how many great country songs are on “Twisters”. Listening to my iPod on my walk I heard Tyler Childers “Song While You Were Away”. That’s just one of the many great songs from that CD.

It put me in the mood that a great ballad does. This blog is a tribute to all those great ballads and poignant songs that bring so much great music to the world. I keep on updating the title of this blog series as the songs change.
