Canadian country artist Tim Hicks has released a music video for his fantastic single “What A Song Should Do” and it’s 100% what a music video should do! It’s the perfect compliment to the song.
“What A Song Should Do” is the latest single off his album New Tattoo. This music video is getting us so ready for Summer! It has a vibe that makes you want to jump in the back of that convertible two of the characters are driving and feel the wind blowing across your face. Watch the music video here, and then we’ll discuss:
Watch the Music Video for “What A Song Should Do” by Tim Hicks
This music video is a series of vignettes that walk through the sentiment of the song. The song is about how music in general should make you feel. It should “make you say ‘Hell Yeah!'”, it should make you want to put the windows down and cruise, it should make you feel every kind of emotion, and make you dance.
The song on its own is really strong, and the music video does exactly what a music video is supposed to do – it elevates the message of the song.
There are a couple of observations that we picked up in the music video that we couldn’t stop thinking about while watching the music video for “What A Song Should Do”. Throughout the entire video, the number one thing we couldn’t stop thinking about was “Where did Tim Hicks get those shoes?!”
Another moment in the video that made us go “huh” was also one of the more precious moments in the video. When the boy pulls out the record player and throws on some vinyl. The act itself isn’t odd, but we couldn’t help but wonder, how that boy knew how to use the record player – he must have hipster parents ?.
We’re so thrilled for Tim Hicks and the success this single has seen already. We can’t wait to see how it continues to grow!

Lyrics to “What A Song Should Do” By Tim Hicks
It better make you think
If it don’t get your soul burnin’
It better make you drink
Make you feel alive to
When you have nothing left to lose
It better get you laughin’
Break your heart in two
That’s what a song should do
Yeah, that’s what a song should do
It should make you feel alright (alright), all night (all night)
With four chords and the truth
That’s what a song should do
It’s that first dance… on your wedding day…
It’s should shape you, change you
Break you down and break through
Like you’ve got nothing left to prove
Put some words on your tattoo
That’s what a song should do
Yeah, that’s what a song should do
It should make you feel alright (alright), all night (all night)
With four chords and the truth
Yeah…
The beat that keep your party goin’ until the sunrise
Can’t help but sing along to…
It should make you go, “Hell, yeah!” (Hell, yeah!), or me too (Me too)
That’s what a song should do
(Woah oh oh woah oh)
That’s what a song should do
That’s what a song should do
(Woah oh oh woah oh)
It should mean something to you…
What tilts that flicker in your flame
And when your candle burns out…
What song they gonna play
What song they gonna play
Yeah, that’s what a song should do
It should make you feel alright (alright), all night (all night)
With four chords and the truth
Yeah…
The beat that keep your party goin’ until the sunrise
Can’t help but sing along to…
It should make you go, “Hell, yeah!” (Hell, yeah!), or me too (Me too)
That’s what a song should do
In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
