I know sometimes it can be easy to focus on the whole money angle , however, when your father is famous it can present some real challenges.
Especially, when it comes to the expectations that people place on you expecting you to follow in your father's footsteps.
It's not as easy a life as one would expect.

incidentally, this song has my favorite visualiser; it looks like a protection wreath made of sticks, which I find beautifully appropriate

Maybe they're still tweaking their uploads, but looks blocked in my region.

Ed'll join Luke Bryan or Dierks Bentley on stage at some festival and play this one acoustic. Excellent composition and excellent match for Ed's midwest voice.

Have we figured out why the YouTube visualizer isn't available for this song in the US? Just a Ten Club error I assume?

It’s a cute song but I’ll probably skip it most of the time.

Ok, I might not skip it as often as I thought. It’s very catchy.
