"But you must always know how long to stay....and when to go."
"It took a while to understand the beauty of just letting go...."
There is power in the truth of these words. I've always loved their music, and this song in particular. I play it when I need to be reminded that closing doors isn't always negative, and that letting go is necessary sometimes in order to liberate your heart from pain. Sing on ladies...sing on.
Liars dont get far...which is why I was always 3 steps forward...but sadly i was in love and ignored it. Im the bigger person; I let you choose. Now, when you come back (which you will).....the woman you knew who forgave you and cried seeing you coming back will be long gone; infact I dont know her myself anymore...
I hope they stay the hell outta Texas..Those damn redneck idiots do not deserve these Ladies.No Offense all you Texans but ,...the rest of the states think you guys love death penalty and white power and will not think outside the box and accept anything not red white and redneck.
@AbsentWithoutLeaving About what? The comment in London that she insisted was a JOKE? (you can hear her actually say this in THEIR OWN MOVIE). The apology right after? The first stateside interview where they said they wouldn't use the stage for their religious or political beliefs and that wasn't what she was doing that night? Ohhh, you're a latecomer. I get it. YOU THINK she meant it because after a year of insisting it wasn't a true sentiment, she changed her mind. Absent? Yep, I believe it.
so, someone called this larceny by the DCs. I supposed all the thousands of other groups who've ever covered a song--including those by Patty Griffin--have done the same even though they've legally done so, as opposed to those who've downloaded songs for free? hmm?
Meaning, it's not "larceny" to cover a song...still upset with the DC's for their stand? give it up and move on.
After losing my husband of 28 yrs, I thought I'd found my "2nd love". But, sadly I was wrong. After 2 yrs & 2 days....I'M GONNA LET HIM FLY~~
You can't build a life with someone who LIES~ Sad for him. Even his friends will turn from him, when they realize he lies continually to them. Liars are dangerous people to be around. . . but more than that; they are just sad sad insecure people.
This is weird for me because they actually did it exactly like Patty, not even putting their usually twist on it... but it's not as good as Patty's so to me it's a pointless cover. Taking advantage of a less mainstream artist's great music and go figure, people think it's theirs. Give this back to Patty and Landslide back to Stevie.
@Therealmensa Um, way over half the music biz is covers, you dolt. They pay for the rights to cover the song. So in your world view, no one has the right to sing a song but the person who wrote it and/or first performed it? Well, that leaves out most of the great music that exists. Enjoy your little tiny world.
@AbsentWithoutLeaving Um, you can count the original songs written by the Nat version DC's on half the fingers of one hand, dolt. Name an A-list band that has released as many albums and produced so few original songs. Here, let me give you a hand with that: Milli Vanilli. Can't think of any others, can you? Go ahead, find someone, dolt. Enjoy your biased little world. Absent, huh? Yep, I'm believing it.
@Therealmensa Behind all the hate-babble, I notice that you still didn't address the fact that 'covers' (ie. performers performing work they did not themselves write or score) drive the music business. Doh.
@AbsentWithoutLeaving That isn't a FACT anymore than you could name even ONE A-list group that made it on the backs of cover tunes. You live in a made up world that is full of non-facts you believe are true. Let me help you; go to a legitimate top 100 site, search everyone there and see if they arrived without original material in abundance. You can't, but I don't expect you to go out of your way and actually find REAL facts. You are disconnected from the real world. Shallow, and pitiful.
@Therealmensa Okay, menso, somebody (I guess it had better be you) better get busy notifying every symphony orchestra, every choral group, every opera singer, every string quartet, every singer who ever got famous singing Broadway show tunes, every virtuoso performer that ever lived, performed, and recorded, that their careers are based on larceny. Let us all know when you're done.
Okay, this dead horse ain't goin' nowhere - I'm out.
so hard to let go. started when i was 16 18 years ago....tried so hard and he did also.....but abuse is not acceptable anymore....time to let him fly...Lord please give me the strength I need through this
it sucks because i have to let him go. my friend says out of sight out of mind. but i hold on like there's no tomorrow but he never will. so as these tears stream down my face. i can say i already tried all that...
@lillia09 YES THEY WERE OUT WHEN U WERE VERY YOUNG IF YOUR ONLY 13 BUT THEY ARE VERY GOOD! JUST LISTEN TO SOME OF THEIR OTHER MUSIC "TRAVELING SOLIDER" IS A REALLY GOOD ONE AND "YOU WERE MINE" THEY HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF HITS BUT THEY PISSED A BUNCH OF PEOPLE OFF WHEN TALKING ABOUT GEORGE BUSH BUT I AGREE WITH WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT HIM! ANYWAY JUST LOOK INTO THEM I THINK U WILL LIKE THEM THEY STOPPED MAKING MUSIC A FEW YEARS BACK BUT REALLY WISH THEY WOULD MAKE A COME BACK THAT BE SO GREAT!
When I had to say good-bye, this song gave me strength. Actually, it was the entire Fly album that gave me wings, so to speak. I love the Dixie Chicks. There is so much soul and strength ( and with a cute dose of mischief sometimes) in their music. The are incredible artists. And, they handled the controversy with such grace. I love them. Did I already say that?
@daddycala - It's pretty odd that you would say only diehard Dixie Chicks fans know about this song... seeing as it was originally written and recorded by Patty Griffin. Might help knowing a bit about the song, or music in general for that matter, before making extremely obtuse comments on such a predominant MUSIC forum. All you have done is proven that you are attempting to lead us all to believe you actually know what you're talking about... which obviously isn't the case.
I am a man. Some men live in such denial. They live everyday to keep up the lie. Women who desire truth should live the truth as well. Men can be very egocentric especially if they lack a spititual intellect. Fools we are when we create a world of lies.
It's actually a Patty Griffin song, not Dixie Chicks, but they do a great cover of it - just beautiful. Check out Patty Griffin for more of her powerful songs & lyrics...
I miss the Dixie Chicks soooo bad ..... It makes me so mad as if anyone has the right to judge them really!? like non of us has ever said things like that before? I hope that someday they can come back to Texas .... The sisters did start their own band it is very nice but its just not the same dont have the same kick like the Dixie Chicks
@Nala622 They had every right to say what they did. This is supposed to be America right? They became such great artists because of their music and talent. Who cares about the politics involved?
@amberjade11 Politiics didn't have anything to do with them getting tossed. They had the right to say whatever they wanted, and they exercised without restraint or infringement. So did their ex-fans. Democracy. Get used to it. By the way, the DC's have no inalienable right to popularity or profit.
@Therealmensa How do you figure politics had nothing to do with it? It was their political views that made people angry. No one said their ex-fans didn't have a right to say what they wanted I just think that it's stupid to boycott an artist because you disagree with their political views. Their fans bought their CDs because they enjoyed their music-the fact that NM is ashamed George W or they think TK's song is ignorant shouldn't matter if they were true fans.
@amberjade11 Again, they didn't have a "political view". She was pandering. It was a JOKE. Who says? Natalie Maines did, and did so repeatedly. No one asked Maines for her opinion of TK's song. She bashed him only because, for the first time, the DC's released a single and it didn't go to no. 1. TK was at #1 and the DC's had stalled at #14. The MILLIONS who were fans before YOU know why she did it, and her bashing on London was the last straw for many. You're an ignorant latecomer, that's all.
@Therealmensa Have you read the comments on this video? You think it wasn't about politics-but apparently you are the only one. Maybe you don't undersatnd what politics consist of .
@amberjade11 "Kingsley: Do you think you underestimated the way a statement from you can resonate around the world?
Maines: Oh, my God, yes. We never in a million years knew people were listening to what we said. Like Emily said, we never use the stage as a place to preach our political beliefs or spiritual beliefs. And we still won't. And that's not what I was doing that night either."- Syndicated radio interview with Bob Kingsley, 4/24/03
Even Maines said it wasn't. Comprehension problem?
Took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go....cause it would take an acrobat and I already tried all that..I'm gonna let him fly.....best break up song EVER!
Awesome video...have you seen Crystal Bowersox sing 'Crazy' by Gnlarls Barkley? It's soooooo good? You can watch it on my channel as the featured vid...
Singjira Pull the Dick outta ur ass And Get over it Bush is a Fat Bastard Who should never have been President, The Offered money cause its the right thing Bush is too much of a stuborn Ass to take it Oh fckn Well
this song has me crying all over my keyboard an mouse....i was married for 7 years and my husband just walked away from all of his responsibilities though i cant put all of the blame on him ....but i guess it is wat it is .......guess ill let em fly
aint no way 2 understand stupid words of pride.....it'll take an acrobat i already tried all that....im gonna let him fly..... im in love w/ this song....it hits so close 2 home....
SingJiya.. You dont even have an educated opinion about the Dixie Chics, you think all your racial comments are funny when you proof read dont you. Well, you really need to research your history before you go posting comments. You and the whole country knows Bush did not respond to the War on Terror like he should have. And the Natalie simply called him on it. White Robes... Please, Grow UP!!
@dirtsgrl1 Another Dickseechick fan, oh brother. Come on she blew it and you know it, that why they are having a hard time performing at a country fair. They tried to give a million dollars cause they knew they were wrong but guess what Bush said we dont need your dirty money.
Here's the problem beside being of Darkness, She just can't go up to a fat chick and say your fat and you need to lose weight. You have to use your common sence, now she ruined the pay check for the other two, so it was her fault cause she has a big mouth
Problem is that Bush is a man of God and since the Dixie Chicks serve Darkness they wanted Satan to be their President. Well guess what, now they have the Evil One in Office and the USA is 4 times more in dept since he became President, funny that their Grandparents are the ones running around with white hood over there heads. Anyway Country folks are hip to them that is why no one plays their music. They just Killed there Career.
@SingJiya Dude, dont start talkin crap like that on here, that is considered harrassment so keep your racist comments to yourself, they are not appreciated. If you arent going to say something nice, dont fckin comment.
BTW I LOVE THIS SONG!! you did a good job on the video, hun =D
@Pugiron To hear Natalie Maines real voice, watch the GAP Xmas video. Sony took two years training her to be onstage, and she still turned out to be just a fat mouthy trailer trash singer who was mediocre at best.
I dont honestly think Dixie chicks can be compeared to Jessica as they are completly opposite in the way they sing and they have completly different voices and styles, however dixie chicks normally sing with more passion if thats the right word to use. lyrics to this song are good
If i would compare the two versions, i would choose Jessica's version, because she sang it from the heart, it was recorded after her relationship with Nick ended.. so it became so much personal when performed.. check out when she crys while singing this song..amazing
How many of Patty Griffin's songs have they covered?! Let Him Fly and Top of the World, I know... hmm. I like both versions. I LOVE Patty Griffin though, so that's where my preference lies.
This song would be great, if Patti Griffith's original version wasn't so much better. Natalie can NOT compete with her voice, and the song works much better with just once voice and one guitar played to a minimum.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No offense to fans of the Dixie Chicks... but now I remember why I gave away this CD. Seriously. But I'm not a country fan whatsoever, so don't get mad at this. I just thought I'd see if I liked them... but not my thing. =/ I can't listen to another one...
Patty's is obviously the best. I like the harmony in this version. The only thing that feels off his natalie is too strong-voiced. I mean, this song is partly about vulnerability. That's why it's so perfectly suited for Patty. Her voice is strong -- but soft and meek at the same time. As for Simpson's version. Didn't like it at all. The singing was okay. And I believe she truly felt the song -- but her stylings, her affectations and that weird "mouth thing" she does is just annoying.
when my dad used to get violent I wondered why my mother stayed with him, and it was this song written from a woman's perspective that showed me that unconditional love is all you can offer. The part that kills me is "stupid words of pride."
I think it's too funny that people think they can actually compare Jessica's voice to Natalie's. There is no comparison what so ever. The Dixie Chicks are extremely talented!
I mean let's get real people. I love Jessica Simpson as much as the next chick, but when God gave out voices, come on, Natalie got the lion's share. She doesn't have to sing as well as Natalie to still be good. But really, Natalie is way better.
Why do good women love bad men???

SingJiya.. You dont even have an educated opinion about the Dixie Chics, you think all your racial comments are funny when you proof read dont you. Well, you really need to research your history before you go posting comments. You and the whole country knows Bush did not respond to the War on Terror like he should have. And the Natalie simply called him on it. White Robes... Please, Grow UP!!

@dirtsgrl1 Another Dickseechick fan, oh brother. Come on she blew it and you know it, that why they are having a hard time performing at a country fair. They tried to give a million dollars cause they knew they were wrong but guess what Bush said we dont need your dirty money.

Here's the problem beside being of Darkness, She just can't go up to a fat chick and say your fat and you need to lose weight. You have to use your common sence, now she ruined the pay check for the other two, so it was her fault cause she has a big mouth
SingJiya 1 year ago
Problem is that Bush is a man of God and since the Dixie Chicks serve Darkness they wanted Satan to be their President. Well guess what, now they have the Evil One in Office and the USA is 4 times more in dept since he became President, funny that their Grandparents are the ones running around with white hood over there heads. Anyway Country folks are hip to them that is why no one plays their music. They just Killed there Career.

Not as good as Patty herself in either singing or instrument play. You can disagree, but you'd be wrong.

@Pugiron To hear Natalie Maines real voice, watch the GAP Xmas video. Sony took two years training her to be onstage, and she still turned out to be just a fat mouthy trailer trash singer who was mediocre at best.

I dont honestly think Dixie chicks can be compeared to Jessica as they are completly opposite in the way they sing and they have completly different voices and styles, however dixie chicks normally sing with more passion if thats the right word to use. lyrics to this song are good

If i would compare the two versions, i would choose Jessica's version, because she sang it from the heart, it was recorded after her relationship with Nick ended.. so it became so much personal when performed.. check out when she crys while singing this song..amazing

How many of Patty Griffin's songs have they covered?! Let Him Fly and Top of the World, I know... hmm. I like both versions. I LOVE Patty Griffin though, so that's where my preference lies.

Pugiron is absolutely correct. Natalie is not in the same league as Patty she knows it. It's typical of the masses to prefer the dull and mundane....

This song would be great, if Patti Griffith's original version wasn't so much better. Natalie can NOT compete with her voice, and the song works much better with just once voice and one guitar played to a minimum.

No offense to fans of the Dixie Chicks... but now I remember why I gave away this CD. Seriously. But I'm not a country fan whatsoever, so don't get mad at this. I just thought I'd see if I liked them... but not my thing. =/ I can't listen to another one...

Patty's is obviously the best. I like the harmony in this version. The only thing that feels off his natalie is too strong-voiced. I mean, this song is partly about vulnerability. That's why it's so perfectly suited for Patty. Her voice is strong -- but soft and meek at the same time. As for Simpson's version. Didn't like it at all. The singing was okay. And I believe she truly felt the song -- but her stylings, her affectations and that weird "mouth thing" she does is just annoying.

I mean let's get real people. I love Jessica Simpson as much as the next chick, but when God gave out voices, come on, Natalie got the lion's share. She doesn't have to sing as well as Natalie to still be good. But really, Natalie is way better.
