It’s a good duet but Stevie is kept in a three-four note register the entire time. I wish there was one point in the song to feature her breaking out a little more.
Still, it’s very good. Her warm contralto anchors Rimes’s lovely, flightier notes. |

Leann co-wrote “Borrowed” about her affair with Eddie Cibrian when both she and Cibrian were still married to other people.
It’s quite touching and lonely how Stevie could sadly relate, especially considering that she’s alone. In addition, I’m not buying that “gave up being a wife for my music” story. While that notion may have been true at age 35-40, it’s certainly not the same sentiment that one feels at 70. I have a feeling that the reason Stevie likes to stay so busy is that she has no one to go home to. A prior post listed Derek Taylor as one of Stevie’s past affairs. The subject of the song “Beautiful Child”—Derek (road manager of The Beatles) married his wife Joan in 1958. Thus, the line “you fell in love when I was only 10”. They were married for nearly 40 years, until his death in 1997. |

Thanks - I've just purchased it as well. Thank goodness my pessimism was unwarranted! |

But I digress. Was she drawn to married men? Was there something about "forbidden fruit"? Was it the idea that in the end, she knew that it wouldn't be permanent - maybe deep down she really didn't want something permanent? Maybe, but I think it was just because most of the men she worked most closely with were married, and those were the men she connected with. When it came to their marital status her attitude was "Hey, if he wants it, and I want it, it's all good. Love is what's important" etc. etc. In other words, she simply didn't care. No guilt, no hesitation, no sense that she was doing anything wrong if it was done in the name of love. JMHO. There is one line from "Borrowed" that acknowledges such affairs are wrong, which problematizes my theory a bit, but nothing says this song has to match her feelings beat-for-beat for her to relate to the main theme.... "I don't want to give you back" to the significant other. Last edited by sodascouts; 06-20-2018 at 12:00 PM.. |

This is Stevie doing some of the things she does best: Singing about heartbreak with another singer and doing so in her country tinged voice. It's really nice. I don't love the lyrics or what the song's about but I like her singing on it.

No. Not the best. I'd have to think about it because that list is pretty long. This is good though.

You know she could do the whole re-imagined with just her duets. That would be really cool.

Never in a million years wiuld I have thought Stevie and LeAnn would team up for a duet. However, who would ever think she would duet with Lana Del Rey. Surprised she is still getting all these duets at he age.

I think she just related to the song because she's been involved with married men before various times but I don't think it's connected to anyone specific. |

However, the lyric it most reminds me of is the one from Love Is: "And her heart broke down - she cried - she fell to the floor." Do we know who that is about? Or is "fall to the floor" just a way Stevie dramatically expresses feeling overwhelming emotion? Last edited by sodascouts; 06-20-2018 at 06:02 PM.. |
