...accolades? I know I would, then to top that off his Soul2Soul II tour was and still is till this day is the highest grossing tour in country music history, and ranks in the top 5 spots for all genres of music. The song I chose from Tim McGraw’s collection of hits was “Live Like You Were Dying”, it was written by Tim Nichols and Craig Wiseman in early 2004 but was performed by Tim Mcgraw. This song reached #1 on U.S. Billboard country music charts and continued to stay there for several weeks. Tim associated the song with his father who was hospitalized in 2003 but died 9 months later to cancer and he did everything he could to enjoy his last months despite doctors telling him that he has only 3 months live, from this tragic life event Tim learned that every day is not promised to us so we must live life to the fullest and live as if it was your last day hence the title of the song and numerous clichés on the saying itself. He did a lot of searching and finding out who he was and what it was that really made him happy in life, he decides to take his old mans advice and do all the things he hasn’t gotten the chance to experience in life yet which I also think helped him stay successful and accomplish more goals in life. It is a 1 part song form being used in this song, I recommend this track and encourage listeners to just sit and hear it because it is relatable...

Though the road was doing its best to slow them down, they were, nevertheless, too far south into Mexico to catch San Diego's stations. Glancing out of the window at the brittle tumbleweed, the baked orange hills, and dry, cracked ravines, Shani felt as if she had crossed into another world, rather than merely into another country. "Can't get anything on this damn thing," Kerry Ladd said, fretting as usual. "Turn it off," Shani said. "I have a headache as it is." "I've got to have music," Kerry said, snapping in a cassette. Pat Benatar started wailing about precious time. Kerry wasn't the most considerate of friends. But Shani didn't complain. The grinding guitar was the lesser of two evils. Constant external distraction was necessary to keep strung-out Kerry from exploding. "I've got to turn off the air conditioning, again," Angie Houston warned, wiping a long straight strand of blonde hair from her hazel eyes as she flipped a switch next to the radio. "We're beginning to overheat." "I don't want to sweat," Kerry complained. With the cool air turned off, the rise in temperature was almost immediate. "Do you want to walk?" Angie asked, turning down the song's volume. "Shani, how far do you think we have left...
