Don Was - Lori Mckenna - "How Romantic is That"

www.mydamnchann...
Mother of 5 from Boston... never wrote or performed a song 'till she was 27... made an incredible little independent record that caught the attention of Faith Hill who recorded 4 of the songs... signed to Warner Bros. Records where her 2007 album Unglamorous, was produced by Tim McGraw and Byron Gallimore. How Romantic is That has yet to be recorded-you're hearing it here for the first time.

This is the bomb of love songs. Forget all that crap Hollywood feeds us. Lori, you got soul. So moving.

[@MrWadsox]

This woman is a treasure and this song brings me close to tears I'm not ashamed to say.

[@KMS830]

The most romantic, sweet, real song ever writeen. PERIOD. This is what it;s all about. Forget all those huge power ballads that are all the same. This is REAL. This is what life and love is all about. My parents ARE this song. Married for 38 years still happy....parents of 4 kids- 2 boys and 2 girls. I want to be just like them.....and you Lori. Thank you for sharing your gift. There is no one like you. U have to wipe me up off the floor after this song. Wow. Amazing.

[@audiopro69]

This is my wife and I's theme song. And thank you Lori, because its a perfect marriage balanced in struggles and triumphs but never a doubt who my partner is. Such a beautiful song.

[@davebates4664]

I live one town over from Lori, and am so impressed with what great music she has produced while being a mother and wife. So impressive!

[@billkerr1814]

I love finding "new" songs from this wonderful woman, wife, mother, and singer-songwriter. You're a breath of fresh air, Mom!

[@Bflatblues55]

I don't know where she came from, I don't know where she's headed but she poked a chord through my heart and a note through my soul with this masterpiece. Can't seem to close my mouth; holy wow. Thank you Michael, for sharing... very much!

[@lawdy69]

Wow! What a beautiful song from an incredibly talented singer / songwriter. GREAT post!

[@SaveCetaceansNOW]

I have played this over 50x since i last wrote.I don't have a woman of my own and this song says to me how wrong a road I chose.But as to Lori I will forever be your faithful fan.And thanks again to the little darling out there somewhere who put this treasure of a song on here.

[@eaclements]

My husband found this song and gave it to me for Valentines day. Money couldn't have given me a better gift. I think this song was written about my family... I wonder how Lori knew so much about us. My husband left today on a 5 day business trip. When he opens his suitcase he will find a small piece of paper in his shoe that says "...Come running back..." Thank you Lori for such a beautiful song!

[@molloyxx1]

Just discovered her, incredibly. Head turning classic country voice and lyrics that have far more truth and bite than the usual fare, I'll easiy put her up there with Iris De Ment and Lucinda Williams and Julie Miller.

[@holtmoore]

Yes..I have a chronic crush on this heartfelt mom of 5..

[@MrJplevi1960]

She has a hauntingly beautiful voice.

[@allynisbet3679]

james levi reminds me of Patty G

Wonderful,as is the woman I cannot say enough about.

[@myrarobinson42]

I have not heard anymore songs from you,Lori,I miss hearing about your music and I know you are under contract with Tim McGraw. lets hear some more great music from you.

[@lizzyvance]

@KMS830 I agree. She is amazing and so is this song.

[@hieronymusrex]

timeless and beautiful =0)

[@Billabromitis]

GREAT SONG!

[@joelkleinschmidt4007]

most of early songs are on her cds with Signature Sounds. A great independant label on the east coast. Lori did not write the songs for Faith Hill they were already written and on Signature Sounds. Hill heard them and signed her to their label. She is still friends with some of her former label mates. Check out their website and some other great artists.

[@lizzyvance]

omg what amazing song. this is the kind of music i have wanted to hear.

[@Shadows921]

AWESOME, love this song!! She performed it live in Clearwater, Fl last weekend....

[@AubreyTeeter]

I really enjoyed this tune and well delivered.

[@bpdcaptain7]

So true.

[@potrezeb1]

wonderful

[@Fletchusa41]

There is a great cover story about her in Personal Development magazine. Awesome!

[@DeborahPerugi]

At TCAN tonight, every couple in the audience just snuggled a little closer during this song.

[@eagkk253]

To KMS830, you express exactly how I think about Lori!!

[@agmorgan]

I can't thank you enough for adding this!

[@jimlefty1979]

I just love this.

[@paulkubic786]

Wow,a few months, an all-time record, tops The Brown's '59, 13 wks no 1 Girl Crush!!! What a writer and singer!

[@Steadno]

GOOD SONG!

[@7password]

She's so pretty! Its amazing to think she have 5 kids.

[@paulamcmath]

wow!

[@SaveCetaceansNOW]

@KMS830 Lovely words that touched me as this song and Lori does and I am thanking you for her and me lol

[@cdc3j]

Damn this is good. So damn good.

[@BeeDubDakota]

lori plays it with G, C and D shapes with a capo on the fourth fret, while mark plays with A, D and E shapes capoed at the second. just a 3 chord song, but totally brilliant. hope that helps.

[@hermann8tor]

@SaveCetaceansNOW Completely agree with you...

[@hieronymusrex]

Love is the answer... "What," you ask "is the question?" (it does not matter) how romantic is that?

[@MrWeeman300]

and she's so personable, silly on stage-

[@lyricpdx]

Does anybody know if this video was part of the ASCAP Songwriter's Conference? I actually saw Lori perform at it in 2006. She was great. I even got the chance to speak with her a couple of times.

[@myrarobinson42]

yeah,Lori has a way with her words,that is for sure. Faith Hill knows that,she recorded 3 of her songs. Lori wrote "stealing Kisses" for Faith and she also wrote Tim's hit "let it go" Lori has talent. she has such great love for her family as well and such great imagination.

[@jefkearns]

just now realizing that her microphone keeps changing

[@mdtolentino]

Mandy Moore was right. Lori is such an incredible singer-songwriter. Wow!!

[@bpdcaptain7]

Please record this.

[@dillarooke]

She sounds a bit like Gemmy Haynes, I think. Good song!

[@journey2muscperfect]

Im frieds with her son!

[@MissNadineBakker]

Great voice, reminds me off taylor swift?

[@telebob]

Mother of 5? Somebody loves that woman... I can see and hear why.

[@potrezeb1]

[@kennedyforte]

[@Franklintwo]

So many true love stories live this song every day!
