of all the remakes of different songs over the years,id have to say this song especially as a duet with the original artist is definitely THE BEST!!! EVER!!! I loved this song when it came out,and even more so now that carrie underwood has remade it with randy travis!!! Both are and always will be awesome artists!!!!!
This version the listener can't identify with either part because what parts get sung by whom is almost random. While their voices blend together well, I don't think this was the song to sing as a two part harmony duet, but a back and forth duet, with a dabble of blend at the very end.
With the back and forth duet, the "couple" can have a conversation that each party can identify with each side of the failed relationship...
I am actually going to try this in a recording this weekend.
Carrie nails part of this and misses completely on other parts of it. To me a song has it's own heart and soul, and that lies within the original, and it is hard to recapture it.
What I think would have worked MUCH better, would have been to have the remake be a conversation between the two artists, with Randy singing the verses as close to the original as possible and Carrie singing the chorus in her very powerful tones.
I'd like to offer a different perspective on this song and version.
I am a HUGE Randy Travis fan and love his solo version. I really like Carrie Underwood's voice. I love the deep country sound in music in general, especially the storytelling.
I like parts of this song, but others I don't. Much of that has to do with taste. I like when a live rendition sounds as close to the studio version as possible. Randy's "flavor" and part are not similar enough to the original version for my ears.
I would honestly love to hear Carrie do more real country. Not the raw godawful pop crap that she does so much of. She has the voice and puts real emotion in, at least in this song.
this song makes me think of me and my boyfriend we love each other soo much after high school we are getting married he says that is how much he loves me he holds me when i cry or when i'm cold and calls me his little angel thats how much he loves me Cody and Tina Godkin-arms of 2019 we are in a special needs class so we are stuck in school for 4 more years ugh but after that together for ever...
I love this song sooo much it makes me cry and i think of my boyfriend when he's not with me it breaks my heart when he is not with me so i listen to this song he says together for ever i hope so because i LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH.
ok, for all you uneducated people. randy travis did tis song first and carrie underwood covered it. so its not carrie underwood ft. randy travis its the other way around.and btw they recorded it together
So fantastic... Randy Travis IS the best country singer and will allways be... No one can ever match his amazing voice... oh that voice.... Thank god for his wonderful voice... i don't have any words that can explain how much he and his music means to me :-) ty for this post.... AWSOME....

This is the best version of this song and its always so hard to find. That harmonies in the second chrorus are phenomenal. I've only heard this version 4 or 5 times on the radio. When she first came out with this duet they tended to play the other version without the harmonies in it. This is by far the best version!

i'm sorry, and i DO LOVE you tube!!!! but grooveshark DOES have the "just randy travis" version too. they don't have pics, or videos, but the music is always good!!!
She did such an amazing job with this. And she and Randy sound wonderful together. When this song comes on in my car, I always crank the radio up and get ready to cry, seriously. <3 She took a 20 year old song and made it popular again.
I do realize we are entitled to our own opinions but to say that Carrie murdered this song was way off base. Infact I think she helped make it an even better song not that Randy Travis did a horrible job, but it sounds great as a remake.
@Phelus1 Yeah, even Randy himself said that she sang it wonderfully. Actually, he told her that he thought the song was better suited to her voice than his...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm not a music critic and not a Carrie Underwood fan BUT while I don't think this song is for her, I do think she's far more talented than Randy Travis and I AM a fan of his.. For me it's all about how they preform live. If we're all honest without mixing and patching up in studio Randy Travis can't carry a tune, Carrie Underwood on the other hand can hold her on on any stage. Even listening to them sing this together, he's so off target that she simply can't follow him.
People can be mad at me for saying this, but as a diehard Randy Travis fan, I couldn't believe it when I heard Carrie murder his song. It is mediocre at best...and when she gets to the chorus, it makes me want to claw my ears off.
My dughter and i listened to this song just a few weeks before she killed herself. This song has so much meaning to me that no one will ever know, as you get really close to someone when you are both moved by a song you hear at the same time. I still to this day have a lot of crying tme when I here this. So please know this is a beautiful song.
I am very sorry for you loss I am glad to say I have never been threw what you are going threw but I lost a nephew by his own hand over 4 years ago my god watch over those lost loved one in a special cloud god bless you
it amazes me how music always brings people toegther, no matter what they are going through. it sadens me when people can't appreciate the meaning of music. I'm glad you do and always will.

Yea your daughter doesn't have to lower her standards just to keep a guy. There a good guys like myself who appreciates a woman for who she is and won't try to make her feel like anything less than she is. I hope she sees it. :-)
I love this song so very much;this version is the best one yet; It reminds me of my daughter;it just fits her;i am so glad she has moved on with her life;I PRAY SHE WILL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER SHE HAS BEEN MISTREATED BY SO MANY THUDS;
I love this song so much, it reminds me of my ex, such a great guy and i fucked it up so day, 80/20 rule in a relationship ur only gonna get 20% but i wanted 80% and went to look for it but sadly still cant find it, too sad wish i was smarter, now I lost the best thing that ever came in my life
When its all said and done, Carrie Underwood will go down as one of the greatest singers of her generation - regardless of genre. She's only just begun.
no doubt , the song belongs to Randy but kudos to Carrie because she loved this song growing up she chose to record it and bring Randy's talent to a new generation
Well, when Travis recorded it, he was releasing it to a different generation. That generation being one that is not keen to the internet. His version sadly is not on here (not that I have found) only because she remade it in a different era. And it's not about who did it better. She explained she loved Travis' song and that's why she sang it in the first place. Calm down. . .
@jktaylor2007 Honey, I TOTALLY AGREE I was like 7 or 8 when it came out and remember watchin video on TNN The ORIGINAL VIDEO is here; I still get Randy shivers/chills watchin it
did they both re-record this song together or did they combine randy's voice from his version and combined it with carrie's? if u didnt get that let me know and i'll try to explain it better lol i love them both btw
