Day 5: Shania Twain

I really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you’re really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That’s the way I’ve always lived my life.

Shania TwainI’m really loving this whole fabulous Canadian musicians week-spanning series, especially since it’s the 5th day of the week and the feedback and attention I’ve been getting are very positive. You guys rock just as well as those musicians do :)

"Would you like that song in red, green or blue, sir?" Wouldn’t that be a fun and odd question to ask?

Well, I thought this would a fun way to introduce today’s song (read on for more about that) from the one and only Shania Twain. I said "one and only" for a reason: Shania Twain (a Canadian country and pop singer) is the only female artisit to have released an album considered to be the biggest-selling album of all time by a female artist and best-selling one in the history of country music!

Numbers don’t lie. If that many people fell in love with Shania’s music, then there has got to be something fantastic and addictive about her music. This is exactly true, especially with her 2002 album, Up!, which is a classical favorite of mine.

What’s really interesting about this album is the number of colors (or variations) in which it’s been released. There are three of them, "green" disc for country style, "red" disc for pop style, and "blue" disc for international style. Since blue is my favorite color and it goes well with my site’s look, I’m going to present today’s featured song, Forever and For Always, in this "color" :)

Forever and For Always was nominated for two Grammy Awards in 2004, Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Furthermore, the song was named Song of the Year at both the 2004 BMI Country Songwriter Awards and 2004 European BMI Awards.

However, so many awards don’t do this song justice. Suffice it to know that when I heard this song the first time during my college days, I played continuously for 11 hours (including the time I was sleeping at night!). This song was an instant addiction and the video was just as amazing and heart-warming.

Lyrics

In your arms I can still feel the way you
want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered
when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms

And there ain’t no way–
I’m lettin’ you go now
And there ain’t no way–
and there ain’t not how
I’ll never see that day….

Chorus:
’Cause I’m keeping you
forever and for always
We will be together all of our day
Wanna wake up every
morning to your sweet face–always

Mmmm, baby
In your heart–I can still hear
a beat for every time you kiss me
And when we’re apart,
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart

And there ain’t no way–
I’m lettin’ you go now
And there ain’t now way–
and there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day….

Chorus

(I wanna wake up every morning)

In your eyes–(I can still see
the look of the one) I can still see
the look of the one who really loves me
(I can still feel the way that you want)
The one who wouldn’t put anything
else in the world above me
(I can still see love for me) I can
still see love for me in your eyes
(I still see the love)

And there ain’t no way–
I’m lettin’ you go now
And there ain’t no way–
and there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day….

Chorus (2x)

I’m keeping you forever and for always
I’m in your arms
