  • my true love..ty for this

  • @movealong68 waj settle away loser

  • Natalie for Prez 2012.

    Seriously, I love this song.

  • super good yor song girls!!!

  • i did a cover of this!

  • Brilliant!

  • bellissima canzone !

  • Thanks again, that is what it is all about, love it.

  • This is the song I'm going to use to propose to my girlfriend!

  • this is a simple comment I know. But, I love this song.

  • i love the song, i sing it almost every day! :) so peaceful and true!

  • I still get tears hearing the tension in Natalie Maines' voice as she sings this. How lucky she, Marti and Emily were to have the families and friends who stood by them. AND they created an extraordinary new album out of that whole miserable process. My heroines, now and always.

  • Great job, natmaines4prez!! Lovely song, lovely pics of the chicks and their families. And hell yes, Natalie Maines 4 president!

  • THE DIXIE CHICKS DID NOT WRITE THIS SONG

  • @vforvictory1 No the dixie chicks did not write this song, i did. S for Songwriter

  • @whole27 you mean w for wilson?

  • the dixie chicks are my idols. not only do they make amazing music that i could listen to forever, they let their feelings and opinions be known and when they were discriminated for it they stood by what they said and never gave in.

  • My dad bought their first CD when I was like 6 or so, I hated it soo much. But after like 5 years I listened to it more and this is my favorite song, and the only one I can stand. I love the EASY SILENCE!

  • Still beautiful after all these years. This is a precious song that I hope folks can set aside politics for. This is about family.

  • and, how about an aussie view of the story?

    i think Americans need to calm the fuck down. i think George Bush was a fuckwit. and now Obama is following in his footsteps. the dixie chicks are heros if you ask me, cause they made people realise that george bush was starting a pointless war, that would be the death of American power.

  • @TheAllyallyallyallya They were simply pandering for profit. It was a disingenuous JOKE. Who says? Maines herself. Only dumb shithouse luck made any sense of her comment, and you as a latecomer have been suckered by the DC propaganda that followed the comment.

  • What a brave lady, GB is a total joke along with TB

  • If you'd like to hear an American view of the story, this is the music of my childhood and Natalie should have kept her ass mouth self shut!

  • @AlexanderRhettCrammr If you'd like to hear ANOTHER American view of the story: you're an ignorant idiot. You live in a country where free speech is a right. As much as you have a right to sit behind your computer screen and criticize, That woman had and has the right to stand in front of millions and speak her mind.

    You may not agree, and that is fine. But at least she had the balls to take a stand against someone who turned this country into pure shit. But that's just my opinion. :]

  • @createpeacee Here's a clue: She wasn't speaking her mind, she was pandering. Who says? Natalie Maines did in her first stateside interview after the comment in London. Want to know why she was dismissed? Because she was simply pandering. It wasn't a true sentiment and she said so herself. She even calls it a JOKE in her own movie. She was being disingenuous about a subject millions were having to take deadly serious. Let that soak in, then think about how dumb you sound.

  • @Therealmensa I'm so sure she said it just to be funny.

  • @createpeacee Right. You'll keep your ass as ignorant as you possibly can just so you can have your baseless opinion. It is so hard to use logic and the facts to form one, and it is so easy to just make shit up to support what you would LIKE to be in the real world. Remember this conversation for later, when you can't understand why you have no credibility with anyone in the real world, why you get used and abused regularly. The answer was told to you today.

  • @Therealmensa Oh yes I am ignorant and lack the ability of simple comprehension and understanding.

    You caught me.

  • If I can give a french opinion of this story, Natalie seems by us like a heor, because she has said clearly what the people has loud meaning : G.W. Bush was a noob and his position about the invasion of Irak was a gigantic error. The french (and more, the european) people is quasi-totally behind Natalie in this battle against the weapons-industry power.

    An external opinion is sometimes better than a words battle on a forum, isn't it ?

    Sorry for my bad english writing, I'm french, lol !

  • hey is one of the dixie chicks name Natalie Maines cause thats my name

  • dixie chicks for president

  • Great song........

  • Love the song, love the Chicks, love anybody who cares about others and sees through the military-corporate-media industrial complex that is killing our people and world and stopping us from creating a life that works for everybody.

  • this song really calms me down when i'm upset

  • God i love this song, they are so amazing; miss them so much.

  • why can't people just like them for their beautiful music? everyone's entitled to an opinion; liberal or conservative.

  • @VivaLaLipstick True, but they aren't entitled to freedom from consequences. Go get that retardation checked. You sound eat up with it.

  • @Therealmensa retardation? really? use it in the right context asshole.

  • @VivaLaLipstick As I said, get checked. You'll get the help you need if you just get evaluated. If you're not retarded, then you are just ignorant, and you can fix that with a little education. Have someone explain those last sentences to you. If their explanation is different than what you thought they meant, then you are probably retarded. Good luck!

  • look with everyone and their political views... just stop. its okay to have an opinion and share it, but the second you start bashing someone for an opinion you dont agree with, you become just as intolerant as the person youre bashing.This is why our world is so screwed up and songs like this come into existence.. people need to understand that there is an infinite amount of perceptions people can hold of the world and we just have to accept them.

  • Adios, Dixie Twits. You bashed your way off the stage.

  • @Therealmensa why can't you just appreciate them for their music? does that mean you can only support and talk to conservatives? there's half of a world your confining yourself from.

  • @VivaLaLipstick How old are you, five? Try to use complete sentences and make rational comment. If you are over 12 years old, please get checked for retardation. It will be better to know that you are than to not know and be required to function in an adult world. Seriously, you sound retarded

  • Does anyone eles hate when people start talking about bush, obama and justin bieber on a video that has nothing to do with them?

  • Dubya was a horrible person/president. He started two wars, ruined the American economy, made it OK to be dumb and powerful and helped to break up this wonderful, wonderful band. Shame on him...twice...:)

  • I truly forgot how amazing the Dixie Chicks are! my life is spinning out of control and I can find how I feel an a song...several songs...Not Ready to make nice" and "earl" just coves most of it!

  • Can people just take their political arguments and your insults and comment on a different song? If you don't like them, fine. Don't listen to them. But this song is about trying to forget all the world's stresses and conflicts for a while. It's supposed to be a song about sanctuary, so please keep your fighting off this.

  • @jdecoste09 Thank you ! Finally someone had the nerve to say the right thing: "Can people just take their political arguments and your insults and comment on a different song?" . Hopefully that will not be followed by "Shut up and sing - part 2". LOL. FYI, Republican and Pro-Bush here, but I fully agree with your comment.

  • i love how she's strong enough to stand up, be opinionated and not back down and also an amazing musiscian.

  • @reverie595 We should never back down in what we believe in:)

  • @Mirafjori agreed

  • O.K. Natalie, You have a great voice and I love you dearly. Now i am going to meet your dad at Taco Village and have a Chile reigno. Alright, I dont know how to spell it. Love you, Bye

  • Good Job on the Video, it's amazing!

  • To my husband Aaron, I love you baby, thank you for the past 7 years, for our children, for everything you do and say and make me feel. If anything were to happen in the future that would split us up, I hope we could still be great friends and confidants to each other. I will always love you and hold a special place in my heart for you, if not for anything else, then for at least our children. After a trying day it's so nice to curl into your arms and feel nothing but bliss.

  • @savmagowan1 Lucky you:)) Good luck in the future!!! Best wishes!

  • i miss the dixie chicks!

  • The Dixie Chicks are an amazing band. I only recently discovered their music, but I love it. I really admire the Dixie Chicks, and not just for the music.

  • 5th picture is my favorite. Also the one of the little muddy guy. (Who's kid?)

  • Usually I have a favorite song for a few days then it changes but this one has lasted more than a week!

  • Oh my god I love this song. I have an account on a website called Howrse.com my username is Perfect's owner send me a PM!!!!!!!!

  • This is one of my favourite songs by the Dixie Chicks. xo;

  • Love this song, HATE BUSH, and love the Dixie Chicks!!!!!!!

  • Long Live George Bush

  • pretty sure natalie maines is one of the best singers in music

  • @grillking Pretty sure she has never been recognized by her peers or the pundits for her voice. Vasquez, the engineer they got from Sony is the genius behind making this girl who can carry a tune sound like she knows what she's doing. You can find dozens of singers who sound better without all the mixing done to make her sound like this.

  • @Therealmensa She can carry a tune better than you can carry an arguement. Seriously, if you don't like them don't listen to them! She's got a great voice, I don't know, maybe your frustrated because you can't sing and your projected your lack on to Natalie! Get over it and find something else to do. For example maybe you can discover the origins of the word dickhead, Mr. Mensa!

  • @MsChemicalEngineer Seriously, you wouldn't want to infringe on my FREEDOM OF SPEECH, now would you? LOL. Listen to the Gap Xmas commercial, and you'll hear her real voice. Dickhead.

  • @MsChemicalEngineer A little math for you; 31 million albums claimed over a period of 15 years. Entertainer's cut is no more than 15%. Lets say they sold for $10 on avg. So, they made 60 million. Their biggest tour made 60 million, but the lion's share went to sponsorship. Lets add 12%, or 5 million more. Another 5 million in paraphernalia sales. That's 70 million, split 3 ways over 15 years. 23 million each over time gives them avg 1.053 million per year. Did they have any expenses? LOL.

  • @MsChemicalEngineer Now, why aren't you pointing out my math error? LOL.

  • They are the best female country group, period. They were very loyal to one another after all that happened. I admire strong women, and I especially loved that Natilie hasn't said I told you so concerning George Bush, he lied to the American public, and he went to war for oil. They were right to speak out, why are our young people being put in harms way if not to protect the freedoms we enjoy. All you rednecks can put that in your mailpouch and chew it!!!! Dixie Chicks rule!

  • @MsChemicalEngineer Best? Gone, maybe, but not best at anything. They weren't loyal except with their mouths. The sisters' next public offering was without Nat Maines. He didn't go to war for oil, he went to war to kill Saddam and his evil sons, and to draw out the jihadists hanging out next door in Pakistan. Both accomplished. All you "holier than thou" shitbirds crawling out of the woodwork years later can kiss the collective asses of those who know better than you. Dickhead.

  • @Therealmensa OK, I surrender to your superior wit, since I'd guess you have soemthing to do with Mensa, I'll keep my BE, MS and PhD! He went to war with Iraq to kill someone in Pakistan, that makes sense? Whathe was trying to fade Saddam out of position? Clearly, he had ulterior motives, and eventually, the American public caught on. I'm still a huge Chicks fan, and I think tht Bush got what he deserves. Also, nice rejoinder - is Dickhead even a word Mr. Mensa?

  • @MsChemicalEngineer Pakistan is a nuclear power. Pakistani based jihadists took the bait, and we didn't have to go get them. Yeah, Bush got a retirement the DC's could only hope for. Unfortunately, Maines thinks her future is somewhere on a stage. The sooner that cow realizes she is only entertainment for a fringe group, the sooner she'll quit wasting money on a comeback and accept her fate as being just another mouth who talked herself out of favor.

  • @Therealmensa I still think Bush was a poor excuse for a commander in chief. Personally I think Natalie will be fine as will the other girls. She doesn't have a retirement like George W., but she's young, and with 15 grammy's and over 100 million records sold, I think she'll manage to get along somehow.She's gotta be glad to be away from the rednecks who scared country radio out of their wits and made them boycott the Chicks.I love the Dixie Chicks and hope they get back together..

  • @MsChemicalEngineer I agree with you about Bush. Surprised? She never got 15 Grammys, and they never sold 100 million records. I do believe you just make shit up as you go along. They were never "boycotted", they became unpopular. Becoming unpopular is how you know when to quit as an entertainer. Nobody got "scared out of their wits". They just became fed up with Natalie Maines' bashing. Her response to their dislike for her? More bashing. She talked herself off the stage. Adios, Fat Nat!

  • @MsChemicalEngineer Expenses: Each had a constant expense of Sony, Mgr. Rick Rubin, Weinstein who bought them grammys in 2006, the estimated 3 million they paid for their movie/advertising/bitching (which grossed only slightly over 1 million), bodyguards, hairdressers, babysitters, attorneys, staff for their label company, the huge expense of their failed last tour (they played to an average of 50% of the house, cancelled as many as they played), insurance, travel expense, meals, birthing....

  • @MsChemicalEngineer More expenses: attorneys for her lawsuits, legal wrangling with Sony (who is NOT begging them for another album even though they are under contract), clothes, new houses and the O & M for 15 years, Divorces (did you think they didn't write checks?), production of the sister's new album and their latest failed attempt glomming onto the Eagles. They barely got mentioned in local media, and were ignored by liberal nat'l news. I think it is fair to say the Dixie Chicks are done.

  • @Therealmensa OK, I surrender to your superior wit, since I'd guess you have something to do with Mensa, I'll keep my BE, MS and PhD! He went to war with Iraq to kill someone in Pakistan, that makes sense? Whathe was trying to fade Saddam out of position?

  • This is my favorite song by them, so moving and poetic!

  • Great song! I would have liked to hear that song in the end of an episode of Cold Case, when they discover the murderer...

  • id rather have Obama do nothing and not ruin this country then have bush's dumb fucking ass ruin it like the shit head he is. good thing he isnt in office anymore

  • This song was written by Dan Wilson, who used to sing lead for Semisonic. If you are into this song, check out some of his stuff. He is truly a great songwriter.

  • Beautiful, simply beautiful. Great slideshow natmaines4prez :)

  • @jeffrey196501 Do you realize how dumb and ignorant you sound for still supporting Bush. You must be a redneck hick huh. He was one of the worst presidents this nation has seen and yet you sit her and support him. So you must love the fact the hundreds of people have died in Iraq because of Bush. You must be a big supporter of that huh. Screw you. Its not about being liberal its about knowing right from wrong. And Bush was wrong wrong wrong. And your a jackass. Dumb ass hick

  • @leeleeisme1 i am with you all the way!!!!!!

  • @leeleeisme1 for real! he fucking ruined this country

  • Nice work!

  • I didn't know Martie and Emily started a new band!! Anyone else heard of Court Yard Hounds? I guess they're doing this side project while Natalie takes a break...You can listen to their new album on music . aol . com/new-releases-full-cds/#/1 (without the spaces, obviously). Enjoy! :)

  • their awsome and thats all matters

  • Absolutely love the dixie chicks!!!

  • i sang this in my schools talent show i love the dixie chicks

  • People breaking their CDS and telling children to do the same? Who gives a FUCK no body has to like that gay ass president and now since hes gone its alright all of a sudden. FUCK ALL THOSE PEOPLE! yeah all of you are teaching your children a good example and FUCKING GROW UP! I'm still pissed off for what FUCKING GAY ASS americans did to dixie chicks.

  • Lead singer (Not sure if I'll spell her name wrong so I'm saying lead singer) has the wackiest haircuts ^_^ shes a great singer.

  • beautiful song

  • I'm singing this and Not ready to make nice at my next concert. <3 DCX!

  • I love this song.

    Very true, children do lose their youth too soon. And people are imune to torture, and fighting because of war !

  • @Ashley420xxx People are not immune to torture and fighting because of war (in America at least) Americans fight to create a better world to live in for ourselves and other countries... Its other countries, specifically those we are war with now, who are immune to tourture...When the greatest country has been attacked, we cannot stand by and not act...

  • I heard this song with someone special in Tofino BC. Now our relationship is over. 5 1/2 years gone.  I wish her luck and now move fwd. But this song will always be "our song"

  • they are all so beautiful and this song is amazinggg.

  • BEST COUNTRY BAND EVER!

  • Well done-TY

  • I love Emily's voice so much - wish she'd sing solo sometimes

  • beautiful pictures, great job for a great song, tnx

  • There will never be another female trio like the Chics.... they will go down in history as the best female trio, never to be matched or surpassed!!!!

  • @megankalu1 Are you seriiously saying they are better than Bananarama?..........lol

  • @planetrockford lol, i love Bananarama but their stuff was fun and depth less. The Chicks have songs that are great to listen to but also have meaning and depth. Two different types of bands but in the end The Dixie Chicks have substance and that puts them over Bananarama.

  • i love this song cause i love singing it and the lyrics are sooo good :D go dixie chicks
