Radio is not going to pick this song up. It’s a great song. The vocals are amazing. I hear the actual vocals on this song is actually the demo they recorded. But radio is not fair to Trisha Yearwood. She hasnt had a top 10 hit since ” I Would’ve Loved You Anyway ” in 2001 and a #1 hit since ” Perfect Love ” And between those songs and now theres been a lot of great singles. So I say Fu*k radio ! They suck !

I meant to expand on my earlier comment, by the way, but was just too tired.

Basically, the title and general idea seem to be very similar to Lee Ann Womack’s “Why They Call It Falling,” and the lyrics are pretty uninspired. Although her voice is usually very good, I have never had the love affair with her music that some people have had (i.e., “Perfect Love,” which I brought up in the bad lyrics thread). It is a shame, however, that her best chart days are behind her, while “Come On Over” races up the charts.

Oh, and by the way, hey, TenPoundHammer, it’s spell4yr from Wikipedia.

I agree with Stephen H. I’m just not getting into it at all. Yet.

By the way, I think the blandest Trisha songs are the totally uninspired “How Do I Live” and “I Would’ve Loved You Anyway”, and the overly-restrained “I Wanna Go Too Far”. The rest are A- or better. Except for a few that I don’t remember (Bus to St. Cloud, I Need You, Down on My Knees, Real Live Woman, I’ll Still Love You More, Inside Out, I Don’t Paint Myself…), that is.

Trisha’s ability to select music that is true to her artistic talent allows her to remain on a level above her peers. She does not choose her pieces based on popularity. She bases them on her love for the lyrics and music. She has repeatedly shared that her favorite thing to do is sing. She loves entertaining and telling a story through song. Very few artists today are in it for the love. That shines through and makes her what she is; the best singer of our generation.

I know I’m not adding anything new to the conversation, but I think this is a great song from an excellent album.

felipe,
trisha yearwood is to female country music what the “selecao” is to football. among all the great teams, be it italy, argentina, france, germany etc., the brasilian team still stands out. they may not always win the world cup but every soccer-fan all over the world loves to watch them performing their “art of football” because it’s full of special and memorable moments that the others just cannot create the way they can.

there are many great vocalists in country music but trisha yearwood is one of the few, whose music (albums) is full of such “special moments (songs)” and so far it looks as if this is going to continue with every release from her. by the way, in concert she sounds even better than on record but that’s only my personal view.
