From Left to Right: Emmylou Harris, Kathy Mattea, Trisha Yearwood, Pam Tillis, Patty Loveless, and Suzy Boggus with Mary Chapin Carpenter singing lead.
My mother left my father when he was deep in alcoholism and we were living, scared, in a boat on the Grand Union Canal. Every night was terrifying. She took me to a cafe early one morning. Instead of taking me to school she asked me, 'what would you think if we left this place and never came back?' I told her 'yes, please'. We finished our breakfasts and left town. I was 7. My mother listened to this song that entire period and I will forever associate it with her and the strength it took to do what she did. "It's Emmylou Harris!" And she'd point to another woman who gave her strength and inspiration. She died when I was 16. I love her.
What a wonderful mother -- she asked you before doing it. She had you as well as herself in mind. What a wonderful mother -- it takes courage to leave an abusive relationship! My hats off to your mama.
I'm very saddened about your parents' relationship. Your Mother made the right decision. She thought it through. As a mother myself, I'm SURE it was a VERY DIFFICULT and HEARTWRENCHING decision. And, it takes tremendous COURAGE. I know this, because that was MY reality. NEVER stay "for the children's sake". This teaches them that a VERY WARPED union of two is "how marriage should be". Every argument, every hatefilled statement made by either parent (or parents) rips another wound into their child's soul; causes fear; and gives the WRONG impression of what a "marriage" SHOULD BE. Too few are in ADULT, EQUAL, Loving, Mature, Respectful! relationships. Too many stay together "for the children". (In my Opinion, which is based on MY experience as a child ). Peace, to all who are in an UNBALANCED "relationship". I HIGHLY recommend leaving it. (I did. It's one of the best decisions I've EVER made.)
I watch this at least once a week! You can’t help but be in a better mood after listening! If these ICONS appeared on an awards show today, playing this song, they would blow every competition out of the water! This is a peak performance!
Hi Nicole, yes I agree with you, this video is the greatest I've seen in years, there will never be women singers like this ever, they were the best and I miss that style of country music, oh so much, these girls of the 90's have made history in my books. I miss them all so much!!
Greatest girls! Patty Loveless was about to have vocal cord surgery right after this and nobody knew it but her husband, and Tony Brown, and of course her "brother" Vince Gill. They were gonna do a duet album together at the time but it never came to be. I remember watching this on CMT as a kid and I feel the same way when I see it now. Just awesome.
Yeah. And in typical feminist indoctrinated woman fashion, she raises hell at a harmless commercial from years past of a "white patrichial male oppressing a woman" paranoid delusion narrative, while simultaneously not so much as even blinking an eye at the black male rape of white women epidemic all across the country. Yeah, women's rights, my ass. Behind every feminist is an unapologic race traitor. They're not anti-male, they're anti-WHITE male.
The band is MCC's band. This was a Women in Country special that came out in the early 90s. All of these women performed. I used to have it on VHS. I wish I could find it again!!
There ya go. Cool song and all those ladies totally into making it an awesome performance for their annual awards thingy is why this is an in tune classic live event
from left to right: Emmylou Harris, Kathy Mattea, Trisha Yearwood, Pam Tillis, Patty Loveless, Suzy Bogguss AND Mary Chapin Carpenter. She was a little stick of DYNAMITE. (and helluva songwriter) The Best.
Music needs more Rickenbacker guitars. They produce a sound that Gibson, Fender and Ibanez cannot replicate. The notes are so clean and whole with zero distortion.
Growing in the 90s, watching my mom leave my dad, i hated this song. As a happily married dad in 2023, I understand it better. I never ignore my wife's state of being. She's my #1 priority.
Wow what a lineup! A fan of all these ladies. It would be awesome to go back 30 years and be young again and live through my twenties listening to all of them
@@rogersmith7808You crossed generations. That one generation had more talent than the others. I look back and wonder why we’ve gone backwards. Yes we have strong female leads in Country but too few. The early/mid 90s were peak. Shania arrived and the landscape changed, ultimately for the worse. 😥
@@katherineroland6008 "best female artists ever" which would include crossing generations. And as far as the genre being better or worse, it's all subjective.
now THAT'S MUSIC! 20 years already, man time flies very fast i love this song and what a great team of back vocals la cream de la cream, you can hardly get any better...i think!
How much of a Queen are you to get all those great artists singing backup?? 🎉🎉❤ LOVE this!! “Come On Come On” is one of the greatest albums ever released 🔥🔥💥
Of course, the biggest unspoken truth is that most men are turned on by a woman who is assertive, sexy and fun (not a man-pleasing doormat) and all of these women (especially MCC) make that case beautifully.
No we're not, bro lol. We want a woman to be womanly, not exhibit masculine traits. This is why feminists are manless and/or resort to lesbianism and loneliness due to quality men turning them down. Nobody wants a feminist PERIOD!
Qué maravilla de canción, hermosas voces con un espectacular respaldo musical con un aire muy rockero. Que grande es la Chapín Carpenter.. Incombustible y eterna. Una leyenda viviente del folk rock norteamericano.
I am a male and totally get the premise of this song....we guys tend to take our ladies for granted at times. I have lost count of how many times I've watched this video. I love it.
@@Dallas-Nyberg I definitely want it too. I kinda keep my distance when I sense she’s very depressed or when she goes on a manic rant. Music especially from Mary Chapin helps. Have you ever seen her live??? I did in 2016 and I saw Sawyer Brown the night before and got an autograph from them.
Look up ,"tolerable level of unhappiness". This song is a perfect example. Women can now earn enough to have great lives without a man. We want an equal, not another kid of whom we have to parent.
This song is actually about a woman that’s tired of being married and taking care of her family. I guess minimum wage is an improvement over stability.
I moved to America in 1996 from Bangladesh, and remember going to Best Buy with my brother who had moved 10 years earlier and was a country fan. He bought the album with this song and would listen to it constantly. But the one that really struck my chord was the First song on the album The Hard Way. Man I just listened to it the other day and it holds up even better!!
ACC's #32 song of the '94 survey year. Mary-Chapin hit #2 in Billboard, 3-26-94. God bless you, countryback, for postin' it. Have a blessed rest of the week!
Empowering to leave a guy that did nothing wrong, cause a woman is bored? And the only reason she's bored is because he broke his back to give her everything. Lol. What a buncha worthless ingrates western females are.
Late 80's and early 90s were the Golden Age of Country.. even classics from the 60s and 70s were eclipsed in this era.. and being an 80s baby, I grew up taking great country like this for granted.. never knew it would get so bad so soon
I did love the 60s and 70s county but the music you grow up with you usually have a better connection with. 80s and 90s is my favorite country time but I was also born in the 80's.
7 female country icons on 1 stage. And to think when I was a kid and this song came out, CMT wore it out and I hated it. Now I look back and think, what the hell was wrong with you? Then realize... oh yeah... you were a child and your musical tastes haven't developed yet. Beautiful song and fun trip down memory lane.
When country was starting to drift more towards pop but still was country, Mary Chapin Carpenter put out some really good music. I am a Town being my personal favorite of hers 👍🏽
This is the only version I can listen to; the arrangement is so beautiful, with all of those incredible voices, every other version falls short for me. This just spoiled me.
I’m a 35 year old straight dude and I’m married to a woman 16 years older than I an who has bipolar disorder and I fully get it. Dudes appreciate your women no matter what’s going on. As long as they don’t kill you and you’re doing all you can.. she’ll love you.
