This song is undoubtedly amazing…..the video, the lyrics, the all around production touched me, seeing as I lost my best friend in a horrific accident in 2004.

Over the top? You must not have lost someone you loved way to soon. My 19 year old son committed suicide this year…Address in the Stars is my story. I have never had lyrics or a voice reach out to me before. I am so thankful for Address in the Stars.

This is a true sound sung from the soul……..I feel it in my heart and my gut and to be quite honest, I don’t care what any one else thinks, I know what my country self says….And this has hit all over it………I live in the country and we buy the records, if the need to do better publicity or choose a better manager….well that has nothing to do with this song…

I agree with Annie. I think they need to get their stuff together and get these guys the exposure they need and deserve. I was shocked to see Rorey and whats-his-name on the CMT Video awards. They need to fire their promotion guys and get new ones who can get the job done. I pray that this opportunity isn’t ruined for them.

I do agree with some reviews that even now is
a better song. I do not agree that the production
was over the top. The song is beautifully done.
Nor do I agree that Caitlin was belting or show-
boating. A person who belts or showboats, gener-
ally loses control of the song. Caitlin gave a
strong performance in this song, as some songs
require. Luckily for us listeners, she was up
to the challenge and gave a beautiful perform-
ance. The only thing I didn’t like in the record-
ing was that there was basically no Will. Their
act is called Caitlin and Will, not Caitlin with
Will on background vocals. Of course I’m not say-
ing that this is Caitlins fault. It’s the fault
of the arrangement. It’s really good but it’s
not Caitlin & Will. Both of these singers are
winners, and both need to be heard. After all
they won you can duet, not one of you can sing
and the other do back up. The even now recording
was so much better because both singers were
allowed to show their talents in the song. It’s
true that Caitlin has a much stronger voice than
Will, but that’s what makes them such a great
team. Two strong singers can often become a
contest of who can out do the other. But what
makes Caitlin and Will such a great duet team
is the unique blend of Will’s mellow, soothing
voice with Caitlin’s strong, emotional voice.
Don’t hate her cause she sings beautiful, and
don’t forget Will. They’re a great team. I’m
looking forward to hearing a lot more out of
these two in the future. And as far as neither
of them being one of the beautiful people, like
a lot of country music artists today; have you
taken a good look at Zac Brown? He’s a good
singer ( I particularly like whatever it is ) ,
But he’s definitely not a looker. Talented yes,
pretty no. I think they’ll do fine in country
music, as long as they always remember to only
release really good material. Save the jam
sessions for the garage. A lot of performers
forget that, and record crap that only they
want to hear, then later wonder what happened
to their carrers. One hit wonders are not people
who forgot how to sing, but people who made bad
choices in their material. If Caitlin and Will
steer clear of this all too often made mistake,
they will have long successful careers. They
certainly have the talent for it, and they’re
off to a great start. Can’t wait to buy their
CD.

My review is A+ perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People are welcome to their own opinions, of course, but I think I read somewhere that ending a review with over forty exclamation points automatically nullifies it.

LeeAnn,
I disagree with everything you said about the production of this song and the fact that you did not give it an A+ . Nothing, and I mean nothing has come out of Nashville with this much emotion in a long time. The production is emotional and beautiful but most of all Caitlin and Will are two of the best singers in years out of Nashville. This song is real emotion. And yea it’s dramatic- life is dramatic. Especially when you lose someone you love with all your heart. My review is A+ perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi, i just wanted to say that i have met Caitlin and Will at one of the local radio stations here in havre de grace Maryland. and just wanted to say that me and all other veiwers who attended this little performance all agreed that while they were singing Caitlin had a strong yet beautiful voice and Will had a very encouraging voice and that they could really help influence peoples lives, and personally i believe the song address in the stars is the better of the few songs i heard! just my opinion, all in the last 14 years i have lost my grand parents, my parents and my sister so this song really touches home and again its just my opinion but i believe that address in the stars is the best song out on the radio. and i dont know if Caitlin and Will are going to read this or not but if you guys do then i just want to say thank you for producing this song, and Caitlin im so sorry for your loss. i know exactly how you feel and i know it hurts so bad at times but i want to give you the advice somebody gave me after my parents passed away. dont think of it as a loss or a time of sorrow, but as a time of rejoice for your aunt, she is home now and you will get to see her again one day. right now shes smiling down on you so proud that your doing something so big with your life, proud of the fact that you and Will are influencing everyones life and helping them by spreading your music. i really look forward to meeting you two again someday. you two are awesome, dont ever change! :)

I like this song a lot – but not nearly as much as ‘Even Now’. But that’s just a personal thing I guess. I would have picked this as my second choice for a single, and then probably ‘Leaves of September’ – another excellent song that can be found on the official Caitlin and Will site.

I hope radio latched onto this song. The official airdate is March 30. Good luck, you two!

Caitlin,
Thanks for your response. I’ll just say one thing: I actually really like your voice. I only meant to use “belt” or “showboat” as a description of your nuanced performance. While I freely admit that I typically don’t like it when singers “showboat” for the heck of it, I don’t think you did that here. I have to apologize for making it seem as if there was anything about your vocal performance that I didn’t like. I like how your voice is both strong with flavor, as opposed to many singers who only seem to have the power without the character.

As for the production, my review of it is exactly how I feel about it. I suppose we’ll have to chalk that one up to differences in taste.

Good luck and thank you for taking the time and interest to engage us in discussion here.
