@bestbottom1 she did not, i heard her say shi did but Dean McTaggart, he is the song writer. Both he and Dave Tyson have written a number of songs that Amanda recorded.

Any fool who thinks Mila or Cher or any other rendition of this amazing singer and the original songwriter compares is indeed a fool! I have seen this lady live and she has more power and talent in her voice then Mila (pretender). Billboard position is determined by airplay which is determined by how much money the record label pays them. Just another case of an amazing artist getting screwed. Rock on Amanda and can't wait until your fight with the record company is over.
@bestbottom1 I disagree... Amanda has so much more soul going on and she co-wrote this song. This song's her baby not whoever this Mason chickie is (and from what I found Mason's a country music singer... not my bag at all). But if you like the other version so much you should upload it (because I couldn't even find it when I was trying to give it a listen)
Love this song with Amanda she does it really good.
There are so many good Canadian singers and bands, Tina Arena, Holly Knight (Toronto, what a band), Lisa Dal Bello, Rush, Max Webster and Kim Mitchell, etc oh and there are so many more . I didn’t mention the most obvious ones ;-)
A Canadian diva as a Canadian diva SHOULD be!! Passionate with her song, precise with her voice, and more than anything, true to herself. Bless you, Amanda!! Come back soon!!
I fell in love with this song when I was fourteen and wrote an entire manuscript--story inspired by the lyrics. The story is about a 19-yr-old girl who falls in love with the new guy in town that no one likes, and the consequences of her first love affair with this guy.
I can't begin to explain what im feeling at the moment, you took me back to my teen years..so many memories ...Amanda was the best..she sang from her soul..that's what made her good..hope to hear again some day
I love Amanda Marshall! I have only seen her in concert once and that was Atlanta, Georgia when she opened for my favorite singer in the world, John Mellencamp! Since then, I have been hooked. I read somewhere that she was supposed to have a new cd this year, I hope so!
This is the girl who was never recognized like she should have been. I think Christina Aguliera has amazing vocal range, but still I think Amanda Marshall got her beat. It is so frustrating that she isn't owning the charts and the world with her musical abilities...but I will stay true forever. I had the opportunity to see her live in NYC with Mellencamp. She is just incredible. Amanda M. doesn't lip sync..record companies need to open their f*&*%^ing eyes
she's my favorite singer in the world. just bought her third CD. I like all songs, arrangements with natural sounding instruments, groovy drums, hammonds, top electric guitar players, great dynamics and atmosphere. Her voice is chicken skin always! what a power and range. Never understood why she is not more famous or she simply stopped writing?
I used to drive 18 wheeler down the road,48 states, and this was my"truck drivin" music. Shes fantastic. I wish I could find her in concert. I'd get on my Bike and make a trip.
Thank-you I ahd that car for many years..got it in 1993 Florida car I payed 1500 canadian..for it trsed it off on a truck..."like forrest Gump said" stupid is as stupid does...and I'm so regretting it.. letting that car go ugh...
@bretbryan Funny you should say that. I've loved Amanda ever since this album. Whenever I road trip to this day I still must play this album at least a couple times. It's the best driving music!
@maxthewonderpup SO agree!! I always listened to this when I would drive the 4 hours between my house and my parents house. Id just drive through the moutains (Im in Canada) and listen to her album the whole way. To this day I think of those drives when I hear her music
This is a Great Song, definitely One of Her Best. Love her Voice. Thanks for Posting and Have a Great Day~~
