I find it so comforting to listen to country music not only because it was a big part of my childhood, not only because every song tells a story and not only because a big part of my soul belongs to Mary Chapin Carpenter BUT ALSO BECAUSE (as I realized, for the first time, tonight, while driving home, at 2am): it has absolutely nothing to do with you.
No country song makes me think of you, there are no country songs we ever sang together, I don't know a single country song you have ever listened to or even possibly enjoyed. Every song is 100% you free.

This is exactly why the country station is now programmed into my car radio.
