Prayin' for Daylight

The end.

Rascal Flatts are coming to an end and currently on their farewell tour. They will forever be my favorite country band. I hadn't listened to country music for a handful of years and their album Feels Like Today brought me back to it in 8th grade. During my junior and senior year of high school, I met my mom at her school at the end of the day to make a trip to the Lake of the Ozarks to get their new CD at Target on release day. I'm not sure if she knew it, but it became a tradition to get their new CD's with her.

Finally, in college, I had the opportunity to go to their concert in Springfield. My sister and I have both always loved Rascal Flatts and their Nothing Like This Tour is a memory we were able to share together. My brother-in-law, Adam, also came which was huge considering he is absolutely not a fan of country music. Actually, I think he bought us the tickets. Chris Young and Luke Bryan were the opening acts. I knew more of their songs than I realized going in that night.

In honor of the Flatts and the special place they will always hold in my heart, here is a list of my favorite song off each album. A few albums get two songs, because they deserve it and they are songs I always play first when I listen to that CD. If one of the songs gets stuck in your head, you're welcome.

  • Rascal Flatts (Tied for my favorite album, I could choose most of these songs)
    • Prayin' for Daylight 
    • Some Say
  • Melt
    • Mayberry 
  • Feels Like Today (co-favorite album, once again, I could choose almost every song)
    • Fast Cars and Freedom (The song that brought me back to my roots)
    • Here's To You
  • Me and My Gang
    • What Hurts the Most (I cried watching this music video)
  • Still Feels Good (Started the Target tradition)
    • Take Me There
  • Unstoppable (I couldn't leave either off this list)
    • Close
    • Summer Nights
  • Nothing Like This
    • All Night to Get There
  • Changed
    • Hot in Here
  • Rewind
    • I Like the Sound of That
  • Back to Us
    • Kiss You While I Can
Rascal Flatts, you will always hold a special place in my heart. I will be listening to your old music on repeat for years to come while praying for daylight that one day you have a reunion. Until then, here's to you!
