Congrats to Miranda Lambert who is nominated for 6 awards at this year’s ACM Awards. Miranda’s nominations include; Female Vocalist Of The Year, Album Of The Year (for The Weight Of These Wings), Single Of The Year (for her song “Vice”), Song Of The Year (for her song “Vice”), and Video Of The Year (for her song “Vice”). Miranda is already a 7 time winning Female Vocalist Of The Year (she has won the award since 2009), and has also won Album Of The Year for her 4 previous releases (Platinum in 2014, Four The Record in 2011, Revolution in 2009, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in 2007). In the Song Of The Year category, Miranda is actually a double nominee as both songwriter and artist. This year it’s Miranda’s brand new double album The Weight Of These Wings in the spotlight, along with the first single off the project, “Vice.” You can see if Miranda continues her winning ways at the 52nd Annual ACM Awards when they air live Sunday April 2nd, from Las Vegas on CBS TV.

  Miranda Lambert shares where the title of her ACM nominated The Weight Of These Wings came from. (:47)
“The Weight of These Wings was a line my dad said to me…He’s a songwriter, he’s not written a song in probably 9 years now…but he mentioned the line to me one time at a show and it just stuck with me. It just felt really big and someways heavy and someways light, you know, it sort of makes you think about a lot of things just that one sentence. And so, we tried to write the song a few times and nothing really came of it and it just sort of going through this record process felt like it would tie everything together, being 24 songs I needed a title that would sort of round out the edges I guess, and The Weight Of These Wings felt right.”

  Miranda Lambert talks about her ACM nominated song “Vice” (:32)
“I just hope that everybody that hears it can kinda feel like they’re not on an island. That we all have things in our life that aren’t necessary pleasant to talk about, but this song is just honest as you can get about emotions, and letting raw emotions live where they live until you move on to a happier place.  It’s kinda the cycle of life, we can’t all be sunshine and roses everyday and sometimes when we’re not we find things that make us feel better at the moment and that’s what a vice is.”
