Zach Bryan’s most Popular Album is a must-listen to: Pink Skies, Spotless, and Heading South. Each has a different meaning that can be truly impactful for an individual.
Pink Skies represents losing a loved one. The reference to using pink skies is linked to a sunset. It is a very emotional song but the instruments and tune give it an upbeat feel.
Spotless is a much slower-paced song about imperfection. In the song, Zach Bryan talks about how he is not spotless, but the person in his relationship with him is also not spotless, which is okay.
Finally, Heading South is about never giving up on your dreams. Zach Bryan talks about how he was in the Navy and how he wanted to not go back to his hometown. He then goes on to say that people only come to watch you fall, and why not go where they will “let you play your music”. This means why stay where you are not welcomed or appreciated, instead go where people will embrace you and your dreams.
Most people do not pick up on these hidden messages because they are passively listening and not listening to the lyrics. If you were to listen to Zach Bryan’s songs critically you would be able to pick up on the lyrics and not just the tune of the songs.
