I woke up this morning to discover the horrible chill of fall creeping through my cracked bedroom window and under my blankets. Sad and just a bit frustrated, I rolled over to check my phone and found a picture from a friend in Michigan featuring snow covered roads that he drove on in order to reach work. I wanted to scream, but instead I put on this song, and just an hour later I learned the official video had been posted online. Funny how life works out, right?
“Sun Daze” is the second song off Florida Georgia Line‘s recently released album Anything Goes to be given a proper promotional push. The track captures the true essence of summer, with a laid back groove and talk of hanging out poolside with your closest friends and whatever drugs they desire. The video echoes this sentiment with a story about the members of FGL cutting work in order to party and get stoned. You can view the footage below:
Country music has always celebrated the moments spent with friends having a good time, but few have put the use of marijuana into focus like Florida Georgia Line do with this track. It’s not something I expect people to get upset about, but you can bet your ass there will be upset conservatives calling bible belt stations in protest as soon as this song begins to make rounds at radio. My hope is that they won’t cause the song to be pulled or edited, but in 2014 that is entirely possible.
Anything Goes, the Sophomore album from Florida Georgia Line, is available now wherever music is sold.
