VIDEO LINK  to watch My Last Name My Last Name starts with a guitar instrumental which has a very sad kind of feeling to it but one that I think will be explained as the song gets moving. The first verse sees Emily's softer meaningful tone at the forefront of the song which you can instantly hear how much hurt Emily is singing about which I have to admit as I am feeling I can't help by feel very emotional over as its obvious how personal this song is to Emily. The lyrics are so very heartfelt. The chorus features some incredibly poignant lyrics that get you thinking right from the start, and I am sure I am not alone in saying that Emily's vocal tone is just stunning throughout this part of the song, and says so much about who Emily is as an artist and songwriter.

I love that Raelynn isn't afraid to write about her feelings especially when it comes to issues like this and having that it's ok for us ladies to be a little rowdy with the fellas if we need too.
