Pink Skies

Zach Bryan

The kids are in town for a funeral
So pack the car and dry your eyes
I know they got plenty of young blood left in 'em
And plenty nights under pink skies you taught 'em to enjoy

So clean the house, clear the drawers, mop the floors, stand tall
Like no one's ever been here before or at all
And don't you mention all the inches that are scraped on the doorframe
We all know you tiptoed up to 4'1" back in '08

If you could see 'em now, you'd be proud
But you'd think they's yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
I bet God heard you comin'

What is Country?

Before getting into the relation with the DC Universe and our league agains, let's find the definitions of country music. It is said to be “a style and genre of largely string-accompanied American popular music having roots in the folk music of the Southeast and cowboy music of the West, usually vocalised, generally simple in form and harmony". Which I believe describes it pretty well. It is music which doesn't necessarily feel incredibly sad, but more likely gives a smile on your face - but it can still be pretty painful if you listen to the lyrics.

Related to the Leagues

I know, we have placed most song in the elemntal league, but don't you think this would as well? Where are all the aerokinesis people at? (You get it... because of the sky element...) The style and the vibes just seems very nature-like, wouldn't you agree? Mostly because the songs text in country have a lot of emotional connections with nature elements.
