Never have the sentiments expressed in this song been more true than they are today - and yet the tougher they are to realise in this 'age of non-commitment' - where you take out divorce insurance before youve even begun. (started in the States!). ... or 'shop around'.
i have a 'situation' at mo - in which the words of this song ring so true. Will he deliver? HE BETTER !!!!
To the one out there who heard this song at our wedding, who knew my hearts commitment, and what it was she was throwing away when she did so, I will never mean it less and you will always be missed. You were loved, and I was committed, wish you had knew what that meant. If He is still in the restoration business I will ever hope that He recognizes our potential, and your great mistake.
There's no dark sense of humour in this. It's just full of light. Pure Radiance.The amputtee is preparing for a wheelchair race when LeAnn sings 'go the distance'. He's showing guts and determination as you can see from expression on his face. I think its fantastic that she uses an image like this on a pop video. Full of hope, light and love - not a hint of diarkness anywhere - nor irony either. When she sang it she meant it. We all make mistakes. Live and let live. Leave her be (takes22tango)
I used to love LeAnn, but you gotta admit, hearing this song these days...well there's suddenly a lot of irony. Listen to the words she's singing, and think about how she cheated on her husband...bad enough...but even worse that it was with someone else's husband. I used to love LeAnn, but now she disgusts me.
@DemiLovatoFanSince07 You're right, everyone does make mistakes, and we all have to face the consequences of our mistakes. Her mistake destroyed the lives of two people, and left children having to deal with being abandoned. Her attitude all along seems to have been "Well, some people got hurt but at least I got what I wanted." That sort of attitude, and the fact that I've never heard one word out of her mouth about the affair that rang anywhere near true, shows that the woman has no class.
@hillbillyprofane i got a few words for you - garth and trisha--vince and amy--reba and narville. at least leann came clean instead of denying it for years.she deserves credit for that . the heart wants what it wants--there is no explaining love. plus she got married so young. try to forgive.
@1pupblacky Very true - on top of which she had just about about the most unnatural childhood - pushed into early stardom 'cause of her prodigious talent - you could possibly have. Never works for secure relatioship building ...
Maybe you have a dark sense of humor. Perhaps strong will power is what makes her go weak in the knees. Some people are just looking for a reason to see the darkness and walk right into it. Your thinking is what's wrong.
Does anyone else think it's funny when LeAnn says she needs someone who makes her feel weak in the knees and then they show that legless guy who's clearly had his legs amputated at the knees?
@GlanceofGlory i like your humour. sometimes find myself getting so pissed off on u-tube--especially when i am pms--but someone like you makes it all worth it -- what do you do for a living? i used to work for a bunch of gals that made work hell on earth for me--but eventually i became their supervisor. what a bitch that was for them-- but i did not hold that against them--maybe just a little. be careful who you insult because the might just be your boss!! you are refreshing
I must admit - I don't get the Tanya Tucker comparison. I'd never heard of her (shame on me as a Brit) - so I've just checked her out (entire repertoire on YouTube) including when she was 15 - almost same age as LeAnn here - and cant see any resemblance to LeAnn atall (apart from 'Country' connection). I don t do 'whose better comparisons' 'cause that's a personal matter so I won't say no more than that ......
If we demanded the same lifestyles as they sing about in their lyrics - there'd hardly be a single artist that would measure up (nor many of us either). - A great, great, optimistic song sung by a truly great artist. If you revisit most singers performances at 14 it's a bit of an embarassment. Not with LeAnn. She couldn't sing it better now. And nobody else can touch her either
@fretlessbass26 Gee Hollywood and it's influnces ! Who would ever have thought ! How many wives did Charley Chaplin have besides his mistresses ? Now that is funny !
@Steacy783 I'm not defending Chaplin (or any cheaters of either sex for that metter) except to say that the humor in this isn't that she slept around, its that she slept around after doing a song like this. And people like that are NOT like that because of "Hollywood" they are like that because at thier core they are selfish and dishonest people, and to portray yourself as a person of character, and then do things like that is the very definition of hypocrisy.
@fretlessbass26 Life is life ! Hypocrisy ! Did she write the song ? Why would she sleep around ? Revenge !?! Maybe while the song was being written she did believe ?!? Who are you to condeme ??? I see other's seem to like this song and may apply it to their lives a little differently than the words are supposed to suggest , will you condeme them too !???
who am I to condemn? Someone who used to think a girl was worthy of trust and found out she wasn't. I'm one who tried to be like the guy in the song & found out that sometimes some girls pretend to be good and honest people and they aren't. I hear a song like this sung by someone pretending to be a woman worthy of respect who turned out not to be, and I resent it. I'll gladly condemn anyone like that, whose behavior best described with words like "whore" and "liar" cause thats what they deserve.
@OfficialGypsyMusic --- Ohhh I must have hit a nerve. If you wanna defend somebody who sleeps around on her husband, than fine. That says plenty about the kind of person you are.
@OfficialGypsy "how dare I..." Thats funny. If you were something other than a lying whore you wouldn't have gotten so offended, and defensive about this would you? You wanna get a rise out me making rediculous accusations about my mom, and thats fine. I know how ignorant you are to make a statement like that. What i wanna know is what kind of worthless piece of human filth does your mother have to be to raise a little bitch like you? a daughter who defends cheaters and has no values at all
Sorry to go on about it - but that guitar break with the little touch of controlled feed back and the way it goes with Leannes incredible vocal performance in this song has got to be one of the best I've heard ...... Also the video - the more you watch it- the more you seen in it. It is dead clever and jam packed with 'hidden messages'.. This is the complete package ....... And so is she,
I'm sorry but love means nothing these days ....all most people look for is financial security .....i would love to find what Leann sings about but it's a fairytail, love doesnt exist .......
Men want comittment too, and all the things she talks about in this song. But we play the game differently. We won't put our hearts on the line until we know we won't be hurt by a woman who says she wants commitment but pulls back every time she's not getting what *she* wants. It's a tough tightrope to walk, but in the end it's all about two people honestly trusting each other. That's what's so rare these days.
that's nice to hear...but as you said 'it's all about two people honestly trusting each other', pain will always be apart of it, why not when so much is at risk. only there's really no certainty about anything.
If you look carefully you will notice that it is a big boucy "Globe". My interpretation of this is that she's singing about meaning the world to someone so it's there to further emphasise that particular point.... However, this is just my interpretation and could be wrong.
Okay thanks ! (: I remember watching this when I was a little kid and I could never figure it out . And now that you mention it it does look like a glob .,!
Very nicely written and professionally performed song. I always thought it somewhat ironic that a 14 yr old girl would be singing about such an adult topic. She clearly does a great job.
She was born 8/28/82. Commitment was part of Sitting on Top of the World which was released 5/5/98. So, she was 15. You are right she did mature early. She was and still is a beauty.
Wow! Not bad at all! I've haven't heard her in so many years I literally forgot what she sounded like. She sounds very good unlike quite a few country artists. I like this.
The first time I saw this music video was the summer of 1998. This was another song that just stuck with me, plus I had a little bit of a crush on her back then. I was 12 years old at the time lol.
I have a beautiful 14yr.old daughter who can sing like this but only a little higher range.I hope one day she can get over her fear of singing in front of others and one day make a career at the beautiful voice she has!!! :)
such a beautiful woman and voice hollywood life style ruined her thankfully she is slowly recovering but without any new music for some time now >_<
