I’m a big country music fan and Miranda Lambert has been one of my favorites since she released her first CD. She’s having a concert here in early October and hoping to be able to attend! The song of chosen is a bit whimsical to me. It’s called “Pink Sunglases” and is off her newest album: The Weight of These Wings. Truthfully Lambert has so many great songs on this and her previous albums so it’s hard to choose!
Lambert’s debut album Kerosene (2005) was certified Platinum in the United States including the singles “Me and Charlie Talking”, “Bring Me Down”, “Kerosene”, and “New Strings.” All four singles were “top 40 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs.”.
“Her second album, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” came out in 2007. “Three of its singles . . . peaked” as a top 20 on the country songs chart, with “Gunpowder & Lead” becoming her first top 10 entry.”Lambert’s third album, Revolution, was released in “September 2009. Two of its songs–”The House That Built Me” and “Heart Like Mine”–topped the Hot Country Songs chart.”
Her next album came out in 2011 with the the singles “Over You”, “Fastest Girl in Town”, “Mama’s Broken Heart” and other hit singles. Lambert released her fifth album, that went “Platinum”, in “2014.”
The record won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album, and the album’s lead single “Automatic” reached top 5 on the Country charts. Her sixth studio album, The Weight of These Wings, was released on November 18, 2016. Its one I absolutely love 🙂 (Wikipedia.com)
Use Miranda’s song “Pink Sunglasses as inspiration for any form of creative expression (including but not limited to short stories, poems, lyrics, artwork, photography, etc.). Alternatively, If you are a musician use this as an opportunity to showcase your own work.
Do you have any items that makes you feel unstoppable, like Lambert’s Pink Sunglasses? Do you have an object, thought, or anything that makes you feel better as if you could conquer the world! Maybe it’s a luck tie, a team’s sport jersey, a certain shirt, etc.

Miranda Lambert – “Pink Sunglasses”

Lyrics: Miranda Lambert – “Pink Sunglasses”
I put ’em on when ever I sit down to read the paper
Can’t explain the way they seem to work like magic
I put ’em on to keep it positive
Don’t mean to tell you how to feel
But I’m a firm believer in the power of the plastic
Positive plastic
*****
In my pink sunglasses
Always makes the world look a little bit better
In my pink sunglasses
You can try’em anytime you need a change of the weather
9.99 I’m perfectly disguised
When I’m walking by I wanna roll my eyes
In my Pink sunglasses
Pink sunglasses
Ahh-uhh-uhh
*****
I was looking for some tortoise shells
But these were on sale, next to the disposable cameras
Tried ’em on and suddenly it occurred to me
Buying Little Debbie’s felt a little more glamorous
In the check out line
Don’t I look good
Uh
*****
In my pink sunglasses
Always makes the world look a little bit better
In my pink sunglasses
You can try’em anytime you need a change of the weather
9.99 I’m perfectly disguised
When I’m walking by I wanna roll my eyes
In my Pink sunglasses
Pink sunglasses
Ahh-uhh-uhh
Ahh-uhh-uhh
*****
I can leave ’em on a beach, at a bar, a boat
But they always reappear in the pocket of my coat
I cant find ’em
They always find me
*****
My pink sunglasses
Always makes the world look a little bit better
In my pink sunglasses
You can try’em anytime you need a change of the weather
9.99 completely polarized
Sometimes I accidentally go to bed at night
In my Pink sunglasses
My pink sunglasses
Ahh-uhh-uhh
Pink sunglasses
Ahh-uhh-uhh
In my pink sunglasses
Uhh
Pink sunglasses
*****
