1-non described version (4:25 listed; 4:25 actual) 2-video version (4:02 listed; 4:02 actual) this is one of those occurances where the single version is longer than the cd/lp version.... ------------- edtop40 |

pat, you added the info i posted a few days ago but it's not quite right....
you added 1997 - HOW DO I LIVE (dj copies of this cd single run (4:25) a non described version and (4:02) the "video version") my copy is the commercial copy not a dj copy.....so you may want to update the db for accuracy...... ------------- edtop40 |

I think this is a case of more than just the Single Version being longer than the album version. The song's parent album, "(Songbook) A Collection of Hits" seems to use the "Video Version" listed above and after listening to it, I realized there's at least a few mix differences on it compared to the 4:25 Single Version. At about 4 seconds in on the Album/Video Version, there is some kind of instrumentation that I don't believe appears on the single at all. There is also saxophone that comes in on the Album/Video Version at about 2:11 and there is no saxophone on the Single Version at all. So this isn't a case of a Single Version that just happens to be a little bit longer than the Album Version, as there is some extra instrumentation involved.
After looking on Discogs, I also noticed that all Single Configurations list the song as being "From the upcoming MCA/Nashville album, 'Greatest Hits' MCAC-70011", but of course at some point and for some reason, the name of the compilation was changed to "Songbook..." with the same catalog number. Trisha did eventually have a compilation titled "Greatest Hits", but it was released in 2007, a full 10 years after "How Do I Live" was a hit. Discogs also lists a promo CD Single where the song (4:02 version) is repeated three times. The only other promo I can think of that repeated a song 3 times is the one for Vanessa Williams' "Just For Tonight". Does anyone have the "How Do I Live" promo and can confirm that the song is repeated three times? Also, what was the reasoning for doing that in the first place? I'm trying to figure out why the label would apparently feel the need to repeat the same exact song multiple times on the same disc. ------------- Dan In Philly |

I have MCA5P-1009, and without pulling it out, I can say that the song repeats three times. In fact, most country promo CD singles have the same track repeated several times. Sitting in front of me on my desk are two promo CD singles by George Strait: "Run," which hit #34 in 2001, and "Living And Living Well," which peaked at #27 in 2002. Both of these singles say "PROGRAM REPEATS TEN TIMES." That's right, 10 TIMES!
As for the reason why, I have no idea. The only logical reason I can think of is just in case a disc was scratched and a track skipped. That's probably not the reason why, but I can say that in the '90s, working at my old top 40, we played everything live from CDs and not the Denon carts. Discs would get scratched all the time, including a few that skipped on the cut we needed to play. Again, there's probably some other weird reason that has no logic behind it at all, so perhaps someone who spent time in country radio can explain. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Has the single vesion ever appeared on an album? Both
"Songbook" and "Greatest Hits" are the 4:02 version. I have always wondered - if LeAnn Rimes had never recorded this, would Pop and Adult radio have played Trisha's version as she was such a core country artist and this was released before Faith and Shania started crossing over regularly? Wynonna released several songs in the mid-90s that should have been bigger hits ("No One Else On Earth," "Tell Me Why," "To Be Loved By You") or at least charted ("My Strongest Weakness," "Only Love," "Is It Over Yet") at Adult and even Pop radio. But, I don't think those formats ever let Wynonna shake her country label. I also wonder if this had crossed over, would Trisha's music become more pop as it did for Faith and Shania after "This Kiss" and "You're Still The One," respectively? |

I think it was easier for Rimes to cross over because she was young enough to appeal to the "teeny" market which was absolutely booming at the time with Britney Spears and the like. Trisha, of course, didn't have anywhere near that kind of appeal. ------------- https://thelunarlaugh.bandcamp.com/ - Listen to The Lunar Laugh! |

As Ed states above, the Trisha Yearwood commercial
single contains both versions. The CD single describes the 4:02 version as the 'video version'. My 45 does not describe either version; the 4:25 version is the A-side and the 4:02 version the B-side. I believe that radio was only serviced with the 4:02 version (and I'm not sure Trisha Yearwood's version was even promoted to pop stations). The LeAnn Rimes version was recorded first for the film Con Air. The film's producers were concerned about her age (she was all of fourteen) and decided not to use it. So they turned to Trisha Yearwood. Curb decided to release the LeAnn Rimes version anyway. Almost all country stations played the Trisha Yearwood version (the LeAnn Rimes version only reached #43 on the Billboard country chart), and I don't believe any non-country station played the Trisha Yearwood version. |
