This week's song tells the tale of someone who has been rejected and, being heartbroken, can be in the movies and play the role of someone sad and lonely without knowing anything about acting–just “act naturally.” In essence, the song gives us hope that we can continue believing in ourselves even in the face of rejection, and one day, we will finally take center stage. I hope this song inspires you. So join me and Nashville recording artist Blu Waters, the voice behind the songs we feature in each episode. The same songs guide the reading from my soon-to-be-published book I’m Just a Country Song: Three Chords and Only My Truth. “Act Naturally” comes from the phrase we often tell each other when we are nervous. Just be yourself; it will all work out. Although it is not easy to face rejection, this upbeat song is about believing in YOU. And if you do, you might take the world's centerstage.” -  Darlene ChambersIn This Episode: - Who originally wrote and sang the song “Act Naturally”? - Who is the protege of Buck Owens who re-introduced the song? - A lesser-known fact about the song - Why the song chose me - Let's sing along with Blu as she sings “Act Naturally” - Chapter reading - Teaser and quiz for episode 4 (“Mama Tried”) Connect with Blu Waters: Website - https://www.chooseyourblu.com/ Website - https://dot.cards/blucrew Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/iambluwaters/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iambluwaters/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@iambluwaters Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@iambluwaters Connect with Darlene Chambers: Website - https://fullcircles.biz/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/darlene.chambers.37625/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw8gxehSF54DV-uocFUkjAQ
