This was neither love nor loathing at first listen to me.

I enjoyed Train’s original record, and I agree Martina McBride adds more to this in a way it actually resembles a divide being bridged……….a call being responded to………as opposed to an euphoric kind of longing in Monahan’s original soliloquy.

It appears, if earlier articles are any indication, that Train have two country songs on their forthcoming album “California 37″. including one they consider “a potential career song” titled “Bruises”. I always thought Train could easily make a run for country radio if they wanted to, and it really seems they are intending to attempt just that this go-around (they did release a “country version” of “Hey, Soul Sister” about a year and a half ago, but who kept count?)

She’s going to sing this at the ACM’s while someone actually gets married? I expect that from Wynonna but not Martina. I would, however, be interested to see her sing something (“Strawberry Wine”) as the couple does the deed.

It’s a step in the right direction.

This song is so freaking boring!

What ever happened to Martina McBride? No wonder she hasn’t had a number 1 song in over a decade.

I used to love Martina but she is no comparison any more to younger artists like Taylor, Carrie, and Miranda.

I never heard of Train before so today was the first time I listened to the Monohan Marry Me solo version. So far, I would agree that the duet is better. I still prefer Martina’s duets with Raul Malo (Feels Like Home) and Jimmy Buffett (Trip Around the Sun) but this new one may grow on me.

I wouldn’t call it a classic either, but I do enjoy it a great deal.

You’re right – making this into a duet shifts the focus of the song considerably. I don’t know that I’d call this a classic, but it certainly is quite good

I agree. Martina brings some life into this song that wasn’t there in the original.
