I actually really like the dramatic production here. It feels appropriate.

I for one, feel the lyric and movie matched perfectly… the total scarifice given is beautiful laid out in the lyric,… in a truly wonderful song, not over done in anyway… Perfect!! so I really think your review was totally off… Kudu’s to Keith and Monty!!! job well done on their amazing song “For You”, to match the job well done on the Movie “the Act of Valor”.

Sorry,meant to say: “your argument for what you thought was weak about the song.” That’ll teach me to proofread.

Your argument for why you like it is not a good one. The “wife and child” line is not tacked on, it is Urban and Powell interweaving what they, and the soldiers would die for. I picked up on that pretty quickly. I think it’s one of Urban’s best lyrics to date. The arrangement builds and with it, the emotion of the song. I definitely think Urban and Powell outdid themselves here. And Urban’s actual performance of the song takes it to a whole new place. Each time I hear it,I am moved by it. He remains one of our best interpretive performers to date.

What’s a B- to one is an A+ for someone else. In this particular video, it’s the sensitivity factor in the beginning that affected me. I could believe Keith seriously pondering over that question “Could I make that sacrifice?”. But that’s just my take on it. BTW, I absolutely loved that movie.

Agree that “Luxury of Knowing” is the best track on the “Get Closer”cd.

Re “For You”, I agree that the production is overblown, even though I’m not familiar with the music of Bryan Adams. Less is more.

I would FLIP OUT if “The Luxury of Knowing” were released as a single. But so far… no such luck.

I like this enough, but I had hoped that they chose The Luxury of Knowing instead.

I saw the movie and this song fits perfectly with what the movie is trying to depict! I love this song and the director and the Navy Seals think Keith and Monty absolutely nailed it and I agree!

It’s a great song. You are being too analytical.
