Sarantos Releases An Interesting New Country Rock Song & Music Video "Whiskey" - Is It A Lullaby About A Girl Or About Bourbon Whiskey?

Whiskey is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages. Is it any wonder that Sarantos decided to write a song about it? By now, fans have surely seen Sarantos attack a wide variety of genres and styles along with a rare blend of topics and themes. Song lyrics are not only limited to the common cliches like love that most songwriters choose. Sarantos has written so many songs yet still purposefully picks things no one else dares to write about like a child's mind, surgery, veterans, cheating, bubbles, a sunny day and now, even whiskey. In this country rock song called "Whiskey", Sarantos picks an unusual topic but skillfully uses words throughout the song that paint a vivid story that is very relatable. Fan are left wondering if the story is about a girl or about a shot of bourbon whiskey. The song can of course be interpreted both ways and the listener can pick either glass to enjoy. The funny music video centers on an alcoholic who is finally cured of his addiction when he finds the love of his life. Whiskey is replaced by a loving, caring and patient women.

"This song and video is ultimately about human weakness," says Sarantos. "We all have faults and we definitely have weaknesses. We might not always admit it but we certainly do! Some of us are addicted to alcohol, some to women, some the thrill of gambling. The temptations and vices are endless. We are human which means we are not perfect. We are all tempted by something. Maybe we have tasted it. Maybe we have never given in to it but still worry we will one day. Maybe we are actively  struggling to free ourselves from its grip. Maybe we have beat it but fear a relapse. Whatever our story, this song and music video is about a man who is always deep in trouble with his addiction. Eventually, thru finding the right person, he is able to overcome his addiction. The right support system is often needed and he is lucky to have finally find one. At some point in our lives, we have all benefitted from the kindness of others. We should remember that and try to give back when we can." 

Lyrics:

 Whiskey

Intro 

She is the love of my life

Verse 1

Whiskey is a refined taste 
Only few appreciate
Her scent shines thru
She puts me in a mood

On the edge of my lips
I long to take a sip
Simmering, gentle and ready 
My knees feel unsteady

I search the bars on every street 
Eager to feel her heat
Cuz’ I need her with me 
To function properly

I’m miserable without her 
Lose my mind without her
Can’t live without her 

Chorus 1

(Whiskey)  you are always on my mind 
(Whiskey)  you make a fool out of me 
(Whiskey)  you taste so damn fine 
(Whiskey)  I dream about you endlessly 

(Whiskey)  you are always on my mind 
(Whiskey)  you and I were meant to be 
(Whiskey) you help me unwind
Whiskey won’t you come with me! 

Verse 2

A sip of her flavor 
Her kick I will savor
My stress melts away
Body ready to play 

Heat is picking up
Icey smooth but rough
She makes me feel so right
I lust for her tonight

When she’s not with me
Head pounds in misery 
Can’t think straight
I need her as my mate 

I’m miserable without her 
Lose my mind without her
Can’t live without her

I just can’t do it!

Chorus 2

(Whiskey)  you are always on my mind 
(Whiskey)  you make a fool out of me 
(Whiskey)  you taste so damn fine 
(Whiskey)  I dream about you endlessly 

(Whiskey)  you are always on my mind 
(Whiskey)  you and I were meant to be 
(Whiskey) you help me unwind
Whiskey won’t you come with me! 

Solo

I’m not talking about bourbon 
I’m talking about my woman 
She steadies my hands 
And I’m crazy about being her man

Chorus 3 

(Whiskey)  you are always on my mind 
(Whiskey)  you make a fool out of me 
(Whiskey)  you taste so damn fine 
(Whiskey)  I dream about you endlessly 

(Whiskey)  you are always on my mind 
(Whiskey)  you and I were meant to be 
(Whiskey) you help me unwind
Whiskey won’t you come with me! 

Outro

I’ll spend tonight with her
Night will be a blur
She’ll be my 18 year old malt   
It’ll all be her fault 

But she’ll soothe my soul
I’ll lose all self-control
She’ll barely be enough 
Cuz’ I crave her so much
She’ll barely be enough
