why does brilliance always have to come from such a sad, dark place of despair? I will never understand the correlation, but this woman's voice is so organic and beautiful, it's hard to imagine she could be so troubled...
beatiful song! i already have seen it on vh1 in celebrity rehab, i know is an old song, but in the right minute i heard it i came to my computer to find it, and definitly is a deep song i like it!!
This so is so beautiful, moving and I am so happy for Mindy (and everyone else) for their recovery. It is just so sad that Mike Starr isnt with us anymore but im sure he is rocking it wherever he is! I think everyone can relate to this song in one way or another and it is just...WOW.
Amazing :D ... remember hearing Mindy Mccreadys music 'Ten Thousand Angels' when I was 10 and loving it. Even 14 years later, her voice is as memorable and moving as it was back then. ^_^
@rebawantabe75 you will make it through. even though we don't know each other. i can listen to what you have to say if that makes you feel better. Also try to find a group that meets so you could talk. Just a suggestion.
Such a beautiful song. I want 2 send my prayers 2 all of u fighting ur addiction 2 overcome them..I am not going to say I know what its like, my addiction has only been cigs but I do know know the life of living with an addict,splitting due to the addiction n losing that person n the father of my children+2 other children 2 an accidental OD by his addiction..it's a long hard battle but I believe its possible 4 every1 to beat the demon of addiction if u give it all u have..may God be with you
I am glad to see mindy coming through all the bad stuff she has been through with a positive attitude in music. She has a very unique voice and still sounds just as good as the very first day I heard her years ago. I wish you the best Mindy and still your fan.
love, love, love this song. i am a recovering addict myself and i struggle everyday, watching celebrity rehab helps me,i relate with the dark side that addiction takes you too. I lost the love of my life to an overdose. thank you, mindy for writing such a beautiful song:)
I have always loved her music and I am so sorry for her struggles. I hope that she gets back up and starts fighting again for herself. She is a beautiful and talented person.
I love IT !! i've been through alot in my life, BUT I know i have saved myself with love & holding on to my HEART! That's one thing no-one can take away, from me :) I love being me...even with all the heartaches!! It made me stronger as a WOMEN!
Thank's for posting this song, I can't begin to tell you how it makes me feel a little more safe inside, 3 suicide attempts and I'm still here, maybe because of this song, I don't know, but thank you
The minute I heard this song it struck a chord with me but for a different reason. Though I have never been through addiction I surely have been through some tough times in my life and have been in the dark hopeless places she talks about but like the song - I"m still here!! It is a song of real hope and accomplishment in ways I never thought of before hearing this song.
evereytime I heard this song it makes me cry im not an addict but im a human being that has suffer so much and this song remainds me that i have ti keep holding on and i will survive to get trough all the things that i have lives Mindy you are my inspiration i love you so for the eternity i will that a have see you one day, from my heart to you darling God bless you and gave you streght.
we like that song for a different reason...no were not an addict..but i would like to get lyrics to this song...it reminds me of some people in my family...good luck mindy and all in rehab
we like that song for a different reason...no were not an addict..but i would like to get lyrics to this song...it reminds me of some people in my family...good luck mindy and to all who is in rehab
I love this song. Im still here too.. this song give me strength to change my situation and change my life. thank you mindy for reaching a place in me I thoguht was dead and gone.
i have never heard a more beautiful song... i know what it is like to be where these people have been i have 5 years clean now and i wish all the best to you.
I wish Mindy the and all the people on Celebrity Rehab, the very best! This is a beautiful song, and I can really relate to it. I too, am an addict. I will fight this. I will pull myself through the pain with the inspiration of God and people like Mindy McCready. Thank you, Mindy, for writing such a beautiful song.
Its funny how a song can make u really think. It touched home. Both of my parents are alcoholics and it to my dad going to jail and my mom put on probation to get straight.i thank god every day im not like my parents. I swore to myself when i was younger that no matter what i would not put my kids through what i went through. I want to put all the memories away and never remember them. No im not an addict but being a child of one is even worse. GOOD LUCK MINDY. I hope u make it.
In July of 09 my world just ended, 30 yrs of being a dedicated friend, & caretaker she burned me, so I was killing myself, My liver shut down, my kidneys shut down, and I lived, with more torment from this friend, I again tried to make it so I wasn't here, why live?, then I was watching the show and saw Mindy sing this powerful song, It made me want to live, somehow, all I can say is I'm still here, and I hope she knows that she helped me, thank you Mindy..love your friend & fan...P Cassaro
@klap9333 That episod was shown in Sweden, only 5 minutes ago. I was 10 years old when my parents were sent of to rehab and this summer they've ben clean for 10 years, after 21 years of addiction ~16 of heroin addiction. My mom was 12 years "old" when she started taking drugs.
I called her after seeing Tom's reaction. I was crying my eyes out, so was she. She said that her reaction was the same one. She fell asleep as a 12 year old girl and woke up as a 31 year old woman "Look how young I was"
she has a great voice, i never heard of her before but she has got my attention now. When i seen her on celeb rehab singing that song to the others,it showed her heart. Mad me cry
Thank you all for the nice comments! I did nnot fully understand what was going on until I too watched the most recent episode of celebrity rehab and saw the part where Mindy dedicates this song to folks on the show.
Mindy is releasing a new album around the 25th of March. As Mackenzie Phillips states (and I will add to it) Mindy has the appearance and voice of an angel in my personal opinion! Cannot wait to hear more from her in the future!
I cried and cried when I seen that episode. Guess it hits home hard. Life is tough...we all got through struggles whether celebrity or not. Keep strong !! :)
Great Mindy One Day at a Time I am A Recovery Addict and Alcholic been clean a Sept will be 2 Years im 44 Your song is wonderful i can relate God Bless
@sugarshack100 i too relate to this song. yesterday i have not drank in 7 months after 19 years of drinking. and i wouldnt go back. i had to pull me out and find myself again and this song hit me so hard. finding out who you are is the best part . im so proud your clean too. its a rough road but one i would never turn back too and im 51 but i feel i got my life back and you can only fig that out when you love you first before others . huggs and keep going on. its so worth it
one of the most powerful songs ive ever heard. i cant wait for the new album and the documentary. i love you mindy, this song touched me so much. the powerful lyrics i cried when i heard it, and know what you were going through. your an inspiration to me and im sure to a lot of other people
You know you are not alone. I pray for you to be free with help of your beautiful music . "I am still here". Touched me deeply. This song reminds me of friends a 13 year old who wants to end her life, a beautiful child, a wonderful family. A single mom with 2 teenage girls. The mom works at Tim Hortons to try and make ends meet. Mindy, we really miss you. Your music touches so many styles of life, therapeutic, please come back real soon. Love Tamera Carew
What an amazing BEAUTIFUL VOICE! I have been praying for you Mindy, and I look forward to your Music! One day you'll "blow 'em all away" at the CMA's...I can see it now! You go girl! There's millions of us out here who LOVE YOU and your Talent!
this song IM STILL HERE freaking rocks!! i heard mindy sing this song in person a month ago and there was not a dry eye in the house she is one hell of a talented gal!! mindy you rule keep it up!! your the best!!
What a beautiful song.Her voice is the best female voice I've heard.She is a beautiful woman.She made mistakes we all do.She shouldn't be condemend for it.I hope she puts something out again soon.
What an amazing, moving piece of music. Good for her! I hope she does well in this new era of country music. She's been gone a long time. I wish her the best. Great voice! Such passion!
very touching .

Thank you for all the nice comments! Nice to see than Mindy's music is having such a positive influence on so many.
Two things of interest that I will suggest are:
Using the links I have posted to the right the second link will give you more information on "I'll Still be Here" .
Second - Mindy, Dr. Drew, Mackenzie and others will on the "The View" tomorrow 03/17/2010 - suggest checking it out.
Thank You!
