Song Name: What I Cannot ChangeArtist Name: LeAnn RimesAlbum: FamilySongwriter(s): Darrell Brown, Leann RimesRelease Date: October 10, 2007I know what makes me comfortableI know what makes me tickAnd when I need to get my way I know how to pour it on thickCream and sugar in my coffeeRight away when I awakeI face the day and pray to God I won't make the same mistakesOh the rest is out of my handsI will learn to let go what I cannot changeI will learn to forgive what I cannot changeI will learn to love what I cannot changeBut I will change, I will changeWhatever I, whenever I canI don't know my father or my mother well enoughIt seems like everytime we talk we cant get past the little stuffThe pain is self-inflicting, I know it's not good for my healthBut it's easier to please the world than it is to please myselfOh the rest is out of my handsI will learn to let go what I cannot changeI will learn to forgive what I cannot changeI will learn to love what I cannot changeBut I will change, I will changeWhatever I, whenever I canRight now I can't hear about how everyone else feelsI have enough hurt of my own to healI will learn to let go what I cannot changeI will learn to forgive what I cannot changeI will learn to let go what I cannot changeI will learn to forgive what I cannot changeI will learn to love what I cannot changeBut I will change, I will changeWhatever I, whenever I can
There are some duds here but with a 14-track listing and 50% being of decent standard, then it's not bad value for money. Family is a very grown-up album from a very accomplished & talented young lady. Not Bad, but as the school-card says 'MUST DO BETTER'. Production on this album falls way short of what you would expect from an artist of this calibre and becomes irritating whilst trying to listen to the lyrical content of the songs. She shows a maturity here that was lacking on previous albums. The collection itself is not bad with standout tracks being the three collaborations (Nothing Wrong - Mare Broussard, Till We Ain't Strangers - Bon Jovi & When You Love Someone Like That - Reba).
And on ONE DAY TOO LONG, already mentioned, she lets loose more than ever before. This is apparent more on this cd than previous ones and she must be careful that it doesn't become stronger as she develops into even more of an adult artist.The cd is not her best but it is certainly very good. On NOTHIN BETTER TO DO, FIGHT and DOESN'T EVERYBODY her vocals are strong but her articulation is off and it is difficult to understand the words she is singing.
This cd is a very important stepping stone in her career. Both bonus tracks, duets with Bon Jovi and Reba McEntire, are also very effective. Leann Rimes is an amazing talent and has established herself as a force to be reckoned with as a country artist with an immense catalogue of work established at a very young age.
There is a problem on some songs here though. It is a bluesy, major belting ballad done expertly.Enjoy. She has cowritten many of the songs here and a more mature sound is established.Some songs work better here than others.
Standouts are FAMILY, ONE DAY TOO LONG and WHAT I CANNOT CHANGE.
