Eric Church--"Creepin'"

(Today's word will be in red and bold.)

Eric Church's latest single from his CD "Chief" is a song called "Creepin'".  While over the years radio has played plenty of songs with eerie music and words, in all genres; Church's offering stands out from the norm.

Unlike most songs with eerie lyrics and music, "Creepin'" is actually an old story told with a new twist.  It's about love gone wrong and lost, and how the person reacts to the situation.  

The lyrics are a bit ominous, but not too much; just enough to paint a picture for the listener.  Combine these lyrics with the music though, and the song takes on a much creepier tone.  At least that's how I feel when I hear "Creepin'". The tempo is upbeat for most of the song; when it comes to the chorus though, the tone turns a bit dark.

So far it's a winner; though time will tell whether it's novelty will last, or wear off eventually.
