Who's here again in 2024 loving Carolyn? Yep!

[@TheStoneWhisperer]

Me! 😝💕🙏🏻

[@margaretepotter5727]

Me ! It makes me think about the Green Mountains alongside I-89 as I drove here to Vermont from Rhode Island back in 2001.

[@IHolt]

Ahhh...90s early 2000 country, I'm still listening

[@dannywaystedsoundtrackslys5788]

we dont need 100 comments about it cause that is so TRUE and that is about Country music that i love and so much

[@adisonbaarda7048]

I went to one of her concerts when I was little, and she did not disappoint, I find it is sad that she didn’t make it bigger over the years

[@dylanstreibig9234]

She's not doing bad. I went and saw Martina McBride in concert last week. CDJ is one of MM's background singers and guitar players.

[@afunk8992]

@@dylanstreibig9234just got home from a Martina concert and CDJ opened for her! She sang this, Georgia, single white female (which she wrote for chely wright) and a brand new song she wrote that Chris Stapleton is releasing in November Plus she still sang back up for Martina! I usually hate openers but was excited when I realized I knew her! 😊

[@Bethers817]

I can't believe I ever forgot about this song. it was one of my favorites!

I remembered this from the top 20 countdown when I was a kid. I've been trying to figure out what this song was for like 20 years

I cannot believe I forgot this song. It seriously popped into my head tonight, for some unknown reason. At first I thought it was one of those; “That’s not a song,” moments. Lol. Love this song!!!

[@michaeljo6976]

I remember when I interned for 92.5 WBEE here in Rochester NY and went to darien lake for a remote and she came out to our tent and put her arm around me and gave me a big ole hug right off the bat, I was like wow she is super friendly, made my day, never had any artists do that and I've met alot of country singers but yea, she was so bubbly, love her!

[@nativeoutlaw8704]

This song randomly popped in my head today took me back to riding to school with my mom one of her fav songs

[@horseyhorselips3501]

Never heard of her before tonight and I’m 67 Years Old

[@gordonmills2748]

Story time...I met Carolyn on her "radio tour" for this album. She came into my studio at the station to record acoustic versions of this and "Georgia." Nothing fancy...I just stuck a mic or two in front of her and she did a couple takes of each song. It was my own little private concert. Just me and her. I was blown away. I figured there was no way she wouldn't be a huge star. Then the singles came out and...there was something missing. The songs were over-produced. Watered down. Don't get me wrong, this is still great, but I've got a version of this song almost nobody else has heard that I wish I could share.

[@darkecofreak23]

Glad you have that little treasure.

[@montexan1405]

So you didn’t play the single is what it boils down to? It was over produced so how much did you play it? She was a mega voice without your two cents.

[@brendacameron4827]

I met her and she is absolutely amazing!

[@georgemelvin880]

Smiles, absolutely amazing Brenda, feels really great listening, how are you doing?

[@denisemartin1895]

Carolyn is so underrated. I love her voice and I love this song so much 🙂

[@user-hu8hw1qg5r]

She killed her own career by choosing to sing. Her voice is average nothing special. She should have kept handing her work today artists with unique voices.

[@denisemartin1895]

12345 67890 I love her voice always have!!

[@user-hu8hw1qg5r]

Well she needs more than her family and friends to like her voice. Lol She is a good writer but she killed her own career. Her voice has nothing unique to it. If she would have realized that she would have went further. I’m not saying she can’t sing. She can sing. But her voice just isn’t star quality.

[@90AlmostFamous]

12345 67890 that’s bull crap , she sounds similar to Taylor swift but way way better voice control and range. Problem was She wasn’t a teenager that’s all when the industry already had eyes set with the likes of Leann rimes

[@User-nx7rs]

This song was popular with my exgf and I when it came out. We even saw her in concert and got her autograph. Good times 😀

[@11UncleBooker22]

This song evokes so many feeling even after such a long time, it's so complicated.

[@toddcanton9537]

one of my all time favorite songs.

[@ycabk872]

This song reminded me of one pinnacle time of my life. I had this awesome job with tons of potential and promise. My coworker was a new best friend so empty of a long time void for me. I had a cool yet calm and direct boss I could almost not ask for more. Only that as I was still living at my parents' happily and lacked a good boyfriend. Funny how when you are young you do not always notice everything.

[@Red-Wolf-Ben]

Funny thing about the good old days... we don't always realize when we're actually living in them.

[@BrandiBowers-w1k]

This song is absolutely from my childhood

[@menisme]

this song meant a lot to me in 2001-2002. it played on the satellite radio at Ames. a few years ago i tried to recall the song and couldn't find it, until today. sooo glad i finally did!

I quit a job because they played this song every day. Maybe, simply the most complicatedly, frustratingly horrible song ever.

Oh my gosh this takes me back to waking up on a Saturday morning watching CMT !!!

[@charlyperez1636]

Sweet memories I'm so scared that the way I feel, Is written all over my face. When you walk into the room, I wanna find a hiding place. We used to laugh, we used to hug, the way that old friends do. But now, a smile and a touch of your hand, Just makes me come unglued. Such a contridiction, do I lie or tell the truth. Is it fact or fiction, Oh the way I feel for you. So complicated, I'm so frustrated. I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away, I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay. Should I say it? Should I tell you how I feel? Oh, I want you to know. But then again, I don't. It's so complicated. Oh..just when I think I'm under control. I think I finally got a grip. Another friend tells me that, My name is always on your lips. They say I'm more than just a friend, they say I must be blind. Well, I admit that I've seen you watch me from the corner of your eye. Oh, It's so confusing. I wish you'd just confess. But think of what I'd be losing, if your answer wasn't yes. So complicated I'm so frustrated, I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away, I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay. Should I say it, should I tell you how I feel. Oh I want you to know, but then again I don't, It's so complicated. Oh, I hate it. 'Cuz I've waited. So long for someone like you Oh, what do I do. Oh should I say it. Should I tell you how I feel. I want you to know, but then again I don't. It's so complicated.. It's so complicated.. It's so complicated. Ohh..

It was on the top 20 countdown when I was young too great song she had a great voice and the violins or instruments in the background are perfect!!!👍👍

[@scottied67]

This song means a lot to me. I was friends with someone for years and years and much like the song, was leery to confess to her that I had developed deeper feelings than just being friends. I finally told her how I felt and we tried the upgrade from friends to lovers but it just went nuclear at the end. I haven't seen nor spoken to her since 2003.
