Even though it’s my least favorite song on the album, I agree that “To Say Goodbye” has the best chance of being a radio hit. I will say that it’s performed very well, though I can’t imagine them being capable of doing otherwise.

Lynn,

They are pretty damn open and honest about the industry and how it can suck the life out of some people. They also wish the ‘cooks in the kitchen’ mindset would be lessened.

I don’t think this song will be a mega hit (that’s still the job of “To Say Goodbye”) but it is very intriguing to see what it does. I will admit, though, that my personal bias for Joey+Rory as people makes it hard to ever want to criticize their stuff (which is why any singles/album releases in the future aren’t being written by me @ Roughstock).

/end book.

I really enjoy this song. I think the only problem with releasing is that people who don’t know the album might think it’s full of upbeat, cutesy songs. While those are on the album, it’s not exactly the right impression to get, since there are also plenty of more melodically diverse songs on it.

I love the song and the sentiment. Hope CU can interview this intriguing couple someday.

Why is this in the “100 Greatest Women” category?

Anyway, I completely agree with the review- good duo, a little clunky song, but still good overall. Should be interesting to watch at radio.
