POP SONG REVIEW: “Body Like a Back Road” by Sam Hunt
I know this is not a newsflash, but country music has gotten very, very stupid.

I just realized it feels like Hunt is trying (and failing) to do a John Mayer impression with his voice, but it completely lacks the charm, sincerity, or songwriting chops of Mayer at his best.

Bro country is about 10 years away from being ironically appreciated like nu metal

7:29 – Jus', absoluely blindsided coming back to this video after a few years, hearing this pop up and suddenly remembering that oh-so-famous Applebee's ad break on CNN. Goodness me.

Body like a city-road. Lots of grids.
Ooooh, girls in fishnets.

I’m going to hire a wino to decorate our home so you’ll feel more at ease here, and you won’t need to roam. We’ll take out the dining room table and put a bar along that wall, and the neon sign will point the way to our bathroom down the hall.
Etc.

i also wanna add that the reason we use back roads is because the highways and interstates in rural America are even worse. A body like a back road is a body you settle for.

This piano rendition at the beginning sounds like St. Ides Heaven

Listening to the montage of all those country songs just helped enforce my belief on how all country sounds the same. This is no exception.

Every person at this performance who is not named Sam Hunt looks like they’re being held at gunpoint just off camera, forced to read cue cards with the lyrics on them

I have a body like a back road. It's poorly maintained, crumbling, overgrown and covered in roadkill.

Body like a back road, driving with my a**hole? Is that what he's singing? EDIT: I think it's "eyes closed" but he mumbles it.

This song literally came out before I graduated high school and liked this song in Alanis Morissette levels of irony that I can't explain. Also did they get divorced and the wife mentioned the song thru it?

Unlike most of the bro country cosplayers, I grew up on a back road. It was dirty, bumpy, and nearly impassable whenever it rained. That girl oughta smack him.

watching aged decrepit todd videos. but still i want to be fair to sam hunt and say. ive been to some small towns that have sides. this side of the railroad, that side of the railroad. this side of the creek, that side of the creek. maybe theres not much on either side, but they are undeniably bisected

I seriously thought the hook was "body like a backhoe" and was like, dump truck is a stretch what the fuck is a backhoe in that context

I recently heard this song in an Uber and had to watch this video to clean out my brain.

This isn't something that you seem to get, but as a car guy I do understand the analogy. He's saying that he's very familiar with her body, he explains this in the next 2 lines. It's like the back roads of a town, it's something that you are very familiar with and know how to navigate, something that people otherwise wouldn't understand if you're not from around there. That's why he's driving with his eyes closed, knowing every curve like the back of his hand. He doesn't need to have his eyes open to feel her body appropriately.
