Along with comparing her physical body and personality to drinks, he also uses metaphors to talk about what love has been and is to him. Due to these comparisons, it creates different masculine and feminine stereotypes within the lyrics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Link to song lyrics: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/Chris-stapleton-tennessee-whiskey-lyrics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/genius.com\/Chris-stapleton-tennessee-whiskey-lyrics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Masculine Stereotypes\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cLiquor was the only love I&#8217;ve known\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0A common stereotype in country music is the way people resort to alcohol for things that might occur in their life. This lyric displays the idea that the only relationship or connection he has is with alcohol.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBut when you poured out your heart I didn&#8217;t waste it, &#8216;Cause there&#8217;s nothing like your love to get me high\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Females are sometimes seen as \u201csaving\u201d men from a bad place when it comes to the idea of relationships. This lyric shows that the man was in a rough place but when she offered love he in a sense \u201cgot better\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feminine Stereotypes\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYou&#8217;re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey, You&#8217;re as sweet as strawberry wine, You&#8217;re as warm as a glass of brandy\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main stereotype that is repeated throughout the song is the comparison of a female to liquor. Common stereotypes are reinforced with the male artist calling the female sweet and soft, focusing on those \u201csoft\u201d female emotions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This song is a great example of country music picking out the main stereotypes between males and females. In the song, the male was in deep, dark emotion and the female provided soft, comforting emotions. Chris Stapleton is also a great example of an artist whose music can oftentimes reinforce common stereotypes. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One main thing to point out within \u201cTennessee Whiskey\u201d by Chris Stapleton is that he is essentially comparing his female significant other to different types of alcohol.
