I love how she ages and shows how the story ends. She married the Marlboro man, he does the dishes and she gets the beer. She is now a cowgirl with her prairie sun. /exhales

Lol yes. But he's an Ex priest.

[@johnberry8180]

I LOVE how she did this.

[@hosackies]

Fine wine, her voice is still goosebump amazing.

[@davidbenvenuto2644]

Still so good. I was listening to this song and loving it in 1997 when I was 12, almost 13 years old. Now, in 2024, I'm 39 and will be 40 later this year and I still love this song!

[@tmamaqueen55]

glad she got her cowboy and aged gracefully awesome still love her voice

I didn't like it. :P

[@JasonQiuMusic]

Her voice is still as pristine and amazing after all these years!

[@IanBrownMakeUpArtist]

I loved this the first time around. I love it even more so now. To see her mature as a woman and an artist is beautiful. In the current music landscape, it is practically unheard of to see a music video featuring a mature female recording artist. It is refreshing and I hope we see other mature artists continuing to you use the visual medium. I remember hearing an interview with Pink, when she said her record label told her that since she was older and a mother, there was no chance of her music being played on the radio. Her song went to number 1.

[@viviannalove8994]

I LOVE her voice and this song

[@voiceOreezn]

One of the most talented, intelligent, subtle artists of all time. The thing I have always appreciated most about her, is just how genuine she is. Rare these days.

[@davidmorris6483]

I can't even describe how much I LOVE Paula & the remake!!!!! Completely happier-- which is why I love this even more!!!!!! PHENOMENAL!!!!!!

I can only agree, this brought tears of joy to my eyes.

What a lovely woman

[@twitterusernamebk09]

I read that she was reluctant to do this video at first or have it released at all ...Are U kidding??? It's awesome! So much more vibrant & colorful. The original was quite murky & moody (oh-so 90s) ,it's nice to update and reinvigorate a song this way

[@washredskin887]

LOVE THIS

[@1missdilly]

Love this video.

[@TralfazConstruction]

I love this reimagining of "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?". Sadly, the good people in my life to whom this song connects, like gossamer filaments, are all gone but those precious memories remain.

[@guymaxima]

I like everything about this video............................EVERYTHING. Paula's voice, her simple personality, the animals, the background voices, the horses, the orchestra and of course the cowboy. A simple and so natural video. Simply "Superb"

[@janew2108]

Look at her out here still killing it. Good for you Paula.

[@rebeccathompson7006]

I could watch this over and over and over again! I actually have done..! .. Timeless classic Paula Cole what a star.. and hello to the hottie cowboy..

[@Southwestluvver]

I’m in love with this still ❤️ and if anyone finds the cowboys, I’m listening. 😊

[@jenniferanne4533]

Wow! She is still as beautriful as she was before...truly unfading!

[@annefernstrom9418]

To me, you're more beautiful than you were 20 yrs ago... I remember this song very well, it was one of my favorites... Paula - you are AWESOME !!

[@anthonyrendon6293]

I just researched this song after hearing it today. It’s kind of sad and she yearns for true love. And then I stumbled across this remake. What a great change to see the twist. She found her “Cowboy”. Great video.

[@bridgettholman4074]

She is still absolutely beautiful!

[@MissAnitaTiara]

This album gave me life in high school and still stands the test of time. A beautiful visit with an old friend. Well done, once again.

[@TheMrRingleader]

One of the few actual vocal artists left. Her voice is ART 🥰

[@yosoybalta]

Glad to see the happy ending and that little change in the lyrics.

[@anonomus8709]

Still beautiful and still has a beautiful voice. Listened to this album on repeat on the bus to my sixth grade trip to DC back in the day. Good times, good times 😎

[@BasinGirl]

I loved it then, but Paula, you hit it outta the park on this reboot! Fanfreakingtastic!!!!! Another 20 years of playing on repeat :)

[@shuroom57]

GREAT WORK! You are still beautiful, Paula! You will ALWAYS be gorgeous! And this version ROCKS! I adore the fade-out high vocals. Cool work, Melora Hardin! I didn't realize how accomplished you are!

[@CherryFrog321]

I was born in 1991 and this is the earliest song I actually remember hearing on the radio. Hard to believe it's 25 years old now. But what a cool remake!

[@lornapaz5620]

My favorite singer Paula Cole my favorite song I love this song reminds me of my childhood every day I listen to this song and I never tire of hearing it thanks Paula Cole you are the best.

Who wouldn't like a love story like this at this age and looking this good to??

I was a cow boy until 1986 we were wash up by low prices and high interest 11 years later I crashed caught up as a failure in a dying past. I would listen to this over and over some way it helped.

After all these years Paula Cole is steal beautiful.

[@MissShembre]

So cute and wholesome!

[@Stanlos]

I love this!!! It shows the difference in perspective that time, experience and understanding provide as well as how beautiful the tapestry of life is.

[@Crusader3010]

Caught that she switched who was doing the dishes and having a beer from her 90s version. Both are AWESOME. Glad I found this!

[@crinbob]

I remember hearing this song on the radio about 2 years ago and I thought it was a new release. So I looked it up when I got home and found out it was 20-odd years old. I was shocked. Great song!

[@LizaLavolta]

Paula has aged beautifully

[@sos4550]

nostalgia of old times.....she remains a beautiful American lady with a powerful voice

Your voice is so beautiful and I’m so happy this video had a happy ending, yay Paula!!!

[@c5cpe]

Decades ago, I watched an episode of, Charmed”. The last three minutes played a song that mesmerized me. Not knowing who or the name of the song(no Shazam), except for rewinding the end of the show over and over, by the next day, I bought the cassette of Paula Cole with the song, “Amen” on it. My mother told me, If only you could do your homework like you found that song”…☺️

[@aryabolton2949]

I loooove this! Her voice is as beautiful as ever!!! I absolutely 💯 love her! Her beauty is not diminished at all!

Finally, we got a music video that actually embodies the song 👍

[@Imageking1969]

I just happened to look up the song because I haven't heard it in years, then watched the original version. Afterwards, I noticed this one below it. So I started watching it, thinking it might have been a fan-made video. I didn't realize until the line about the beer, that it was a new version of the song too. I thought they had just updated the original song with a new video. I always liked the original, but this one is even better! You rock, Paula!

[@skyking6333]

Congratulations Paula! Your voice is perfect and timeless; your talent is endless & this song is simply the best. I love it!

This song reminds me of a simpler time. Walking down the road on an early summer morning when the fog and dew kisses the grass as the trees anticipate a hot July sunny day. Just a pleasant feeling 😎

[@CherryFrog321]

Same. I was 5 when this song was released. I still remember the first time I heard it in the car while my mom was taking me to Pre-K. Possibly the first song I can remember hearing on the radio! Definitely takes me back to the simple carefree days of my childhood.

Myself and so many people find it really important to be able to support the artist owned version of music. I would love to see tracks like this more obviously notated so we can make sure that we are supporting the Artist directly. (Paula’s Version) would be globally recognized for what it is.

Perfect! Again.! Thanks for the music and the heads up email. Your voice and unedited self expression has been the soundtrack and a model for so much of my life. You have been so inspiring for now decades. When you share it helps me give myself permission to trust myself and how I share and express myself. Looking forward to your next east coast tour. You were so generous as you sang one of favorites, I believe in love while hugging in the lobby after a show as you didn´t have time during the show! It´s really a sweet memory to have on video and of course your voice, amazing. How generous of you. Hoping you are able to feel something close to what we feel when you sing and do you. PC

Paula you are so talented. Your voice is amazing & your band sounds so cool. Best wishes for continued success.
