Point of View in Country Music

The song "The World" by Brad Paisley is an example of second person narrative. He says what his wife is to people she meets (waiter, bank teller, etc.), and then how she means the world to him.

The song "Love Lives" by Chad Brock is an example of third person omniscient. The song is an observation of a man in a delivery room and a nursery going through life with his child.

The song "You Hold Me Together" by Dierks Bentley is an example of first person narrative. He is saying all of these bad things that have happened to him. It is also an example of second person narrative, when he says how she holds him together through everything bad in his life.

The song "The Breath You Take" by George Strait is an example of third person narrative, when he talks about a son and his father and them spending time together. It is also an example of first person narrative, when he talks about himself, his daughter, and his father.
