All I know is I keep jamming to the good life.It totally has a urban vibe ... But I am sorry he doesn't have a good voice, Casey's voice is so much more interesting and better.  Hehe, you better hide! But I'll hide with ya cuz i SO agree! |

The results of the poll about people's favorite original:  I dont mean to be nasty but this information is irrelevant at this stage. Casey has changed up so many of these songs. As it goes for these polls I think people just vote for the flavor of the month. The songs that have remained relatively high those are the ones that people really like. But of course it is all very interesting. I would bet if this poll was taken tomorrow Untitled would come out on top. Do people really still think So Sweet is such a good song after hearing Untitled? I dont think So Sweet will make the album. But then again I am obviously very biased.  Need Some Texas is also another one that has fallen quickly by the way side, when Casey didn't play it that often. As for Hold On I ve said enough about that song previously. But look at Done Made Up My Mind and Show Me A Bridge, those songs have stuck around during the test of time. And I bet if we did the poll tomorrow Drive would be much higher. I am feeling a bit sad about Bulletproof, I think it is actually a very good song and it might sound quite interesting on the radio, but it seems like the path of the song has dried up.  Im a little slow on the uptake so bear with me  So, it's a given this poll is waaay outdated. I was one who voted for So Sweet and now it's like  . Adorable, but can't hold a candle to so many others that have come after it. SOO agree about Bulletproof - it rocks (!!) IMO, it's up there with Drive! Casey appears to be getting edgier with all his songs which has kicked up my interest level substantially! I think even Need Some Texas could be HOT with more edge; always felt Casey held back on it. Could be really sexy. This poll is from the 23rd of August so it is basically 3 months old. My take on these polls is that people vote for what they are hearing at the moment. Casey has only been doing acoustic shows of late so my guess is the poll might look quite different now. The songs that really stick around at the top spots without being heard often are songs that are actually more memorable and properly good. But that is just my opinion. As I said look at Done Made My Mind and Show Me A Bridge. I will include Never Walk Away, Casey doesn't play it often but it ranks highly. It isn't my cup of tea, I have listened to it 3 times max, but it is actually a good song and something different. Bulletproof is another different song with good lyrics, I hope it doesn't disappear. I dont know when it comes to what we hear about music it is all properly very subjective. But I actually think the opposite, Casey's first songs Bulletproof, Till My Guitar, Drive, Done Made up my mind and even LDCIAN is lot more edgy and interesting then anything he has produced since. I am sorry to say this but actually the bulk of the song has become more generic. I am sometimes a bit worried about this. The lyrics for Need Some Taxes is good but the melody is standard HAC fare. Casey would have to change the melody of that song IMO, perhaps they could do that in the studio. Just listening to Crazy Tonight at Lakeland, I think that song has some real potential to be good. But the song is missing lyrics and a crunch line of some sort. It is frustrating listening to that song, all the elements are there, but the song is like one minute and something long, clearly there is a part missing. |

Casey has uptempo songs but the key is "good" uptempo songs to choose from. As I said I think the Good Life is actually a good choice, it has a bit of a Keith Urban feel to it. And I think it would actually be much better with a studio production. But some of the others like Need Some Texas and even She's Money, I dont know if those are good enough to be considered as singles. Bulletproof is actually good but I dont know if it will make the album, it also has a very distinct sound. I dont know right now it feels to me that there isn't enough good uptempo songs. As I said Done Made Up My Mind is good, but it is a good rock song, so they will not use it. As for Untitled you are right about the grown up lyrics, but evenso I actually dont think there is anything to special about the lyrics of the song. The appeal of the song is that it is super catchy and the melody and tone of the songs really brings out the emotion and longing in Casey's voice, which pulls you in, Casey sells the song if someone else did it, it might not be good. The song for me isn't so much about the lyrics at all, it more about the feeling the song evokes. And that is also why I am apprehensive about the studio production the song might loose its appeal in studio and if you dont actually see Casey doing it. I don't understand the reasoning behind not using DMUMM because it's a rock song. You mean, as a single or considered an uptempo song? Cuz I definitely would classify it as uptempo - yum.. She's Money? Kinda leaves me...flat. It could be a rockin' song but it's not quite. It's one that never evolved at the same level of others - it could, but not as it stands so far, for me. Who knows? Studio production could change all these songs for the better  (Gawd help me, not for the worst  ) Oh Done Made Up Mind is uptempo and good, but it is a rock song. If the lyrics where more country then I actually think they would have used it with that melody. But the lyrics are rock. They will not use it for a single. She's Money is alright for an album track I guess, sometimes I like to listen to it actually so I like it, and I was intrigued to hear something so similar on rock radio. But it is not going to be a second single. You need something edgy for a second single. |

I think that is actually Keith Urban's next song officially. Another song that will soon be racing up the chart.
Casey's next single is interesting, I saw a tweet from someone working at Sony marketing who said Drive is currently his most played song. Or something like that.
It feels like the next single has been chosen but the same time it doesn't.

From what I understand they have to rework kieths song because it is from a movie soundtrack and wouldnt work on radio.
Thats an interesting tweet. I guess he means drive after ldcian.
