A woman&#8217;s love is a powerful, unforgettable force. It changes you forever. The men out there reading this know what I mean. You can&#8217;t go back to who you were before. I decided to write a song to celebrate that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-542275-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/03\/Kristian-Bush-Light-Me-Up.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/03\/Kristian-Bush-Light-Me-Up.mp3\">https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/03\/Kristian-Bush-Light-Me-Up.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bush worked with a wealth of new collaborators on Southern Gravity, and with Jesse Rice he came up with &#8220;Light Me Up,&#8221; which Bush considers a unique moment for him as an artist. &#8220;For me it&#8217;s a special one, because for the first time in my country music career, I am getting to sing a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":542276,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-542275","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-articles"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-11 01:24:00","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSKE Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
