Sugarland into one Assignment

I'f you saw my video you are probably looking for full post so here you are

Fred The Leprechaun (original)

There once was a leprechaun named Fred
He was confined to his bed
The story he told,
Was he hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
But now Fred is dead

Love (Original)
Everyone knows love is a battlefield
It can be like a rollercoaster, you’re always scared along the way
Love can be as beautiful as the sunset
Or it can be like a vacuum that never breaks, so it sucks
Love is perfect, but far from it
It is painful and can break you, but it’s what we’re all searching for
Love is the poet’s gift
They can make it sound like the intricate dance of classical music
Love is like the recognition of its one true counter-part
Like feeling the butterflies in your stomach
Love is a battlefield


The Legal Drug (Original)

It consumes us
It’s our obsession at times
And our pure addiction at others
We criticize and we praise it
It’s our legal drug

From the hip-shaking of Elvis
To ‘Rolling On the River’ with Tina Turner
Giving our R-E-S-P-E-C-T to the great Aretha Franklin
To the timeless Bob Marley

We crave it
We need it to function
It pulls out our true self
It shows a person on a different level
It’s our legal drug

Being thrilled by Michael Jackson
Burning in ‘The Ring of Fire’ with the man in black, Johnny Cash
Learning to ‘Let It Be’ with the Beatles
Getting it ‘Straight Up’ from Paula Abdul

Society would crumble without it
It’s everywhere we turn
It’s at our finger tips with the touch of a button
It has evolved so much
It’s our legal drug

Becoming very superstitious with Stevie Wonder
The original ‘Material Girl’ herself Madonna
‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ for Bon Jovi
Following a ‘Stairway to Heaven’ with Led Zeppelin

Then as society changes, we change
We change the content of the drug we want
It comes in different styles and forms
We have the power to choose a new superstar
But it’s still our legal drug

All we ever wanted was some Kelly Clarkson
Seeing ‘Some Hearts’ really do get lucky sometimes with Carrie Underwood
Taking it ‘One Step at a Time’ with Jordin Sparks
And leaving a ‘Light On’ for David Cook

It consumes us
It’s our obsession at times
And our pure addiction at others
We criticize and we praise it
It’s our legal drug

Living the ‘Forever & Always’ with Taylor Swift
Seeing that a ’Backwoods Barbie’ isn’t such a bad thing from Dolly Parton
Tackling the question of 'Love' with Sugarland
Taking a ‘Ride’ with Martina McBride

No matter where it spins off to next,
It is the legal drug


It's Time (Original)
*inspired by the Video "Love"*
Lights Dim I hear the synthesizer ringing through my head as it fills the air
I see the green glow sticks waving frantically, filling the arena
I can feel the excitement rush over me as the crowd grows louder
You can almost taste the love in the air
The smell of the warm, misty fog on the stage gently brushes past me, tickling my nose
As the white umbrella falls from Annie's hand to a halt on the stage floor, I know
It's Time

My Conversation with Travis McNabb


So Sugarland's drummer was on facebook, by fate, at the same time as me. So I bravely sent him a message, and he was kind enough to respond. So here's how it went down.


Lindsay
Travis?


2:22pmTravis
hello


2:22pmLindsay
Ok. Hey I was wondering if you'd responed to fans or not ?


2:24pmLindsay
You still there?


2:24pmTravis
yes


2:25pmLindsay
Ok sorry. I dind't want to sound like some 12 year old obsessed SL fan, because I'm 14, but anyway. Are ya'll playing a Kenny show tonight?


2:26pmTravis
yes we are


2:26pmLindsay
Ok I saw Thad's and Brandon's twitterand they had some pics of the set up, it looked way different than the regular set up. I saw you guys in Atlanta back in April...So Good


2:27pmTravis
i havent seen the setup yet


2:27pmLindsay
really?


2:27pmTravis
and thanks


2:28pmLindsay
Your Very Welcome. I'm soo excited I'm coming to the recently scheduled September 26th show in Atlanta too


2:29pmTravis is offline.


2:30pmTravis
cool, should be fun


2:31pmLindsay
I hope so :) I don't know if you'd know or not. But are they doing the key contest for that? Because the date isn't on the Fan Club at all


2:31pmTravis
im not sure, sorry


2:32pmLindsay
It's cool. Just checking, while I had someone like you actually responding.


2:33pmLindsay
So have ya'll had any rehearsals for tonight yet?


2:33pmTravis
no, we wont get to cause there r so many bands


2:33pmLindsay
oh yea. I know Gloriana is going to be there. How long is the set, cause he has like 5 openers


2:35pmTravis
i havent seen yet. i would guess an hour or 75 min


2:36pmLindsay
Wow! That's a long set time. So ya'll just chillin then


2:37pmTravis
yes


2:38pmLindsay
Fun! I hope I'm totally not freaking you out right now


2:39pmTravis
no problem


2:40pmLindsay
lolz:) just checkin.I have a random question. I noticed your bass drum (i think that's what it is) the image changes a lot during the show on it. Why?


2:42pmTravis
we are using different icons on this tour: key, feather, umbrella and the heart with wings, so its a way to have all of those images appear on the drum through the show
just using those on posters, our clothing etc


2:42pmLindsay
Ok I totally get most of the symbols, but why a feather


2:43pmTravis
this was all K&J
im not sure


2:44pmLindsay
Nice. I thought it might be. Because Jenn's thing she did for US weekly said she has an obsession for feathers. hmmm


2:45pmTravis
ok, im gonna run


2:45pmLindsay
ok coolness. Thanks for talking


2:45pmTravis
sure. take care


2:45pmLindsay
You too
