7. Chris Janson — Holdin Her

Must hear lyric: “And when I’m holdin’ her it’s like peace on earth, where time stands still love’s the only thing, yeah that I feel”

“Holdin Her” is another song that feels different than most of what is heard on country radio these days.

Janson’s third single is a biographical tune (with some help from co-writer James Otto) that chronicles how Janson met his wife and fell in love, ultimately getting married.

The song is in stark contrast from Janson’s previous hit, “Buy Me A Boat”.

“Holdin Her” is easily one of the best love songs of 2016, genre be damed.
