Aaron, who hails from Auburn, Indiana, was surrounded by music growing up. After a brief stint in college; his father Jeoffrey, a professional gospel singer, invited Aaron to tour with him. Together they played more than 130 concerts annually for several years and recorded three CD's. The experience sculpted Aaron to the techniques of duo singing, which may be one reason why he never quite hit the jackpot after leaving to seek his fortunes as a solo artist.
Scott, who was born in Delight, Arkansas - and raised in Los Angeles started singing at an early age with his Uncle Jack; but, his strongest musical influence came from close family friend, Glenn Campbell. After high school, Scott, who had been acting as well as playing music, picked up work in commercials and on television shows.
Aaron and Scott teamed up after meeting on a music video in Nashville five years ago. It was an instant brotherhood! The two were inseparable! After years of friendship, and a bit of gentle pressure from their wives - the guys decided to see how it felt to sing together. They discovered not only did they have a perfect friendship, but also perfect harmonies!
One fateful day, the duo made it to Curb Records. There, they sat down in front of Doug Johnson, the A&R director for the new Asylum subsidiary, and performed. When they were finished, the first words out of Doug's mouth were "Man, one of you is really gonna have to screw this up to not make it work." With that, Blue County was officially born. Scott and Aaron have finished their sophomore album and it will be released very soon. Their new single "I Get To" can be heard on a radio station near you.
Sounds Like Home
Blue County Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cleaning out the mini bar ringing you again
I've already called you 14 times just to say goodnight
I need to hear one more I love you before I douse the lights
Your voice sounds like home to me
I hear the dancin' of the raindrops
While we tumble in the hayloft
Singing oh so sweet
I hear the creaking of the screendoor
Bare feet on a wooden floor
But to hear you whisper my name
Is all I really need
Cause your voice sounds like home to me
I know you're lying in that cotton gown
You're trying to fall asleep
The phone keeps ringing off the wall
I'm sure you roll your eyes at me
You know that I get fragile when I get off the farm
But you keep me held together
With that east tennessee charm
Your voice sounds like home to me
I hear the dancin' of the raindrops
While we tumble in the hayloft
You're laughing at my bad jokes
Singing oh so sweet
I hear the creaking of the screendoor
Bare feet on a wooden floor
But to hear you whisper my name
Is all I really need
Cause your voice sounds like home to me
It's clear as a church bell ringin' a mile away
Sweet as watermelon on a warm sunny day
Pure as homemade whiskey
Strong as a bluebird's song
Baby keep on talkin to me
I hear the dancin' of the raindrops
While we tumble in the hayloft
You're laughing at my bad jokes
Singing oh so sweet
The creaking of the screendoor
And bare feet on a wooden floor
But to hear you whisper my name
Is all I really need
Oh your voice sounds like home to me
The song "Sounds Like Home" by Blue County is a touching tribute to the power of a loved one's voice. The opening lines put us in the position of someone who can't sleep, feeling lonely and far from home. The person tries to call their significant other to hear their voice one more time, explaining that it sounds like home to them. What follows is a sweetly nostalgic trip down memory lane. The songwriter evokes the sounds and feelings of a time when they were with their loved one: the sound of raindrops dancing on a rooftop, the creaking of a screen door, and the feel of bare feet on a wooden floor. The song reaches its emotional peak when the person explains that hearing their loved one whisper their name is all they really need. It's a simple but powerful expression of love and longing.
Moreover, the song beautifully captures the essence of what makes a place feel like home, which is the people we love. Even if we're far away from the physical building we grew up in or the town we lived in, hearing the voice of someone who loves us can make us feel instantly grounded and at peace. The song is a reminder that home is not a place, but a feeling, and that feeling is created by the people we hold dear.
