@@dylanstreibig9234just got home from a Martina concert and CDJ opened for her! She sang this, Georgia, single white female (which she wrote for chely wright) and a brand new song she wrote that Chris Stapleton is releasing in November Plus she still sang back up for Martina! I usually hate openers but was excited when I realized I knew her! 😊
Story time...I met Carolyn on her "radio tour" for this album. She came into my studio at the station to record acoustic versions of this and "Georgia." Nothing fancy...I just stuck a mic or two in front of her and she did a couple takes of each song. It was my own little private concert. Just me and her. I was blown away. I figured there was no way she wouldn't be a huge star. Then the singles came out and...there was something missing. The songs were over-produced. Watered down. Don't get me wrong, this is still great, but I've got a version of this song almost nobody else has heard that I wish I could share.
I remember when I interned for 92.5 WBEE here in Rochester NY and went to darien lake for a remote and she came out to our tent and put her arm around me and gave me a big ole hug right off the bat, I was like wow she is super friendly, made my day, never had any artists do that and I've met alot of country singers but yea, she was so bubbly, love her!
She killed her own career by choosing to sing. Her voice is average nothing special. She should have kept handing her work today artists with unique voices.
Well she needs more than her family and friends to like her voice. Lol She is a good writer but she killed her own career. Her voice has nothing unique to it. If she would have realized that she would have went further. I’m not saying she can’t sing. She can sing. But her voice just isn’t star quality.
12345 67890 that’s bull crap , she sounds similar to Taylor swift but way way better voice control and range. Problem was She wasn’t a teenager that’s all when the industry already had eyes set with the likes of Leann rimes
I know right?! It's now 76,242, but still wayyyy too low for such a great song. It doesn't seem that long ago when this song was pretty popular on the radio. Still love CDJ, especially the Room With A View album. :)
This song reminded me of one pinnacle time of my life. I had this awesome job with tons of potential and promise. My coworker was a new best friend so empty of a long time void for me. I had a cool yet calm and direct boss I could almost not ask for more. Only that as I was still living at my parents' happily and lacked a good boyfriend. Funny how when you are young you do not always notice everything.
I cannot believe I forgot this song. It seriously popped into my head tonight, for some unknown reason. At first I thought it was one of those; “That’s not a song,” moments. Lol. Love this song!!!
Sweet memories I'm so scared that the way I feel, Is written all over my face. When you walk into the room, I wanna find a hiding place. We used to laugh, we used to hug, the way that old friends do. But now, a smile and a touch of your hand, Just makes me come unglued. Such a contridiction, do I lie or tell the truth. Is it fact or fiction, Oh the way I feel for you. So complicated, I'm so frustrated. I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away, I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay. Should I say it? Should I tell you how I feel? Oh, I want you to know. But then again, I don't. It's so complicated. Oh..just when I think I'm under control. I think I finally got a grip. Another friend tells me that, My name is always on your lips. They say I'm more than just a friend, they say I must be blind. Well, I admit that I've seen you watch me from the corner of your eye. Oh, It's so confusing. I wish you'd just confess. But think of what I'd be losing, if your answer wasn't yes. So complicated I'm so frustrated, I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away, I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay. Should I say it, should I tell you how I feel. Oh I want you to know, but then again I don't, It's so complicated. Oh, I hate it. 'Cuz I've waited. So long for someone like you Oh, what do I do. Oh should I say it. Should I tell you how I feel. I want you to know, but then again I don't. It's so complicated.. It's so complicated.. It's so complicated. Ohh..
this song meant a lot to me in 2001-2002. it played on the satellite radio at Ames. a few years ago i tried to recall the song and couldn't find it, until today. sooo glad i finally did!
EXCELLENT SONG CDJ. This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS it is so RAW and REAL and even though it has absolutely nothing to do with me per se my own HEART FEELS every SINGLE word of it
I wish I would’ve met in Louisiana I used to request her music on the radio my most favorite song was complicated I was a true fan for requesting this song
I used to listen to this and get so excited when it came up on CMT channel when I was like 6 lol So glad I found it again. I kept wondering what the song was called and who the artist was
I remembered the name of the song I had forgotten her name and every time I sreached complicated I would get Avril's version of it. I like hers to but sucks when I kept wanting this one. Took me over 10 years to find it once again. But got smart and saved it to a playlist so I can't lose it lol
This song came out wen I was in HS. it came out jus wen I was going thru a transition w/ a friend who became more than a fren in jus the perfect way. The exact words n expressions captured my feelings
This song means a lot to me. I was friends with someone for years and years and much like the song, was leery to confess to her that I had developed deeper feelings than just being friends. I finally told her how I felt and we tried the upgrade from friends to lovers but it just went nuclear at the end. I haven't seen nor spoken to her since 2003.
I met her in Stanley Park. She was Sitting there playing her guitar. I was going to give some change To put in her guitar case. she waves to me no.later on in the Year. There she was on t.v. Ever since. A big fan of hers.
Your beautiful voice an gorgeous songs are the sweetest on the planet girl especially my favorite song complicated this song is wat I hear before bedtime an wen I get ready for work 💓😘💋 ur beautiful music helped me through the krazy times girl 🙏 your one of my favorite entertainer around the country also girl I love your beautiful voice you rock girl
I don't understand how people can't just come out and say it. I mean I never crush on someone before but if someone had a crush on me, I would like to know. I mean maybe I would give you a chance? Just tell the person how you feel!
@@dustyrodes6752 I get that but still holding it inside would drive you crazy. Letting your feelings out and finding out whether the person likes you or not will make you feel better and I'm pretty sure if they were best friends I don't see how that could ruin their friendship.
@@wolfie8227 I would much rather drive myself crazy and still have my best friend. Also if you get in a realshionship with them and you break up, then you might have lost them even more.
@@dustyrodes6752 Yeah I can see that but still. You never know if the person loves you back and for all you know that person is the one. But you'll never know if you don't try. And honestly if I went with my best friend and we broke up even if on bad term that person still be my best friend even if we stop talking
I didn't realize she was Canadian until right now. That must have sucked, releasing this and then a year later Avril's blows up. I prefer this one... way too relatable lol.
My last wife sang this to me before we started dating. Too bad she decided to cheat on me years later. I rather miss the way it was when we started out.
Who's here again in 2024 loving Carolyn? Yep!
Me! 😝💕🙏🏻
Me ! It makes me think about the Green Mountains alongside I-89 as I drove here to Vermont from Rhode Island back in 2001.
Ahhh...90s early 2000 country, I'm still listening
I went to one of her concerts when I was little, and she did not disappoint, I find it is sad that she didn’t make it bigger over the years
She's not doing bad. I went and saw Martina McBride in concert last week. CDJ is one of MM's background singers and guitar players.
@@dylanstreibig9234just got home from a Martina concert and CDJ opened for her! She sang this, Georgia, single white female (which she wrote for chely wright) and a brand new song she wrote that Chris Stapleton is releasing in November
Plus she still sang back up for Martina! I usually hate openers but was excited when I realized I knew her! 😊
I remembered this from the top 20 countdown when I was a kid. I've been trying to figure out what this song was for like 20 years
yah i’ve remembered this from 2001: post 9/11 shania twain era
It was that famous!
@@magicslave3066 are you
Same
@@nonameguy7857 that’s when I was born lol
we dont need 100 comments about it cause that is so TRUE and that is about Country music that i love and so much
I can't believe I ever forgot about this song. it was one of my favorites!
I met her and she is absolutely amazing!
Smiles, absolutely amazing Brenda, feels really great listening, how are you doing?

Glad you have that little treasure.
So you didn’t play the single is what it boils down to? It was over produced so how much did you play it? She was a mega voice without your two cents.
I remember when I interned for 92.5 WBEE here in Rochester NY and went to darien lake for a remote and she came out to our tent and put her arm around me and gave me a big ole hug right off the bat, I was like wow she is super friendly, made my day, never had any artists do that and I've met alot of country singers but yea, she was so bubbly, love her!
Never heard of her before tonight and I’m 67 Years Old
This song randomly popped in my head today took me back to riding to school with my mom one of her fav songs
Carolyn is so underrated. I love her voice and I love this song so much 🙂
She killed her own career by choosing to sing. Her voice is average nothing special. She should have kept handing her work today artists with unique voices.
12345 67890 I love her voice always have!!
Well she needs more than her family and friends to like her voice. Lol

how can there only be 24,497 views of this video?? One of the best songs out there!!
I know right?! It's now 76,242, but still wayyyy too low for such a great song. It doesn't seem that long ago when this song was pretty popular on the radio. Still love CDJ, especially the Room With A View album. :)
I quit a job because they played this song every day. Maybe, simply the most complicatedly, frustratingly horrible song ever.
Because it’s only her family tuning in. She sucks. Get over it
@@user-hu8hw1qg5r you suck you obviously don't know a great song when you here one .
Because we heard 532135 when it played on the radio and we are over it

Funny thing about the good old days... we don't always realize when we're actually living in them.
I cannot believe I forgot this song. It seriously popped into my head tonight, for some unknown reason. At first I thought it was one of those; “That’s not a song,” moments. Lol. Love this song!!!
This song evokes so many feeling even after such a long time, it's so complicated.
Who here in 2020. 🥳
this was of my favorite country songs from when i was a teenager!!!
Me

2021
I especially love hearing her sing this with only the guitar. She’s so talented!
Smiles, hi Brittany 🌺
Love this song
Ugh I used to listen to this on a loop when I had a huge crush on this dude in high school.
Sweet memories
I'm so scared that the way I feel,
Is written all over my face.

We used to laugh, we used to hug, the way that old friends do.

I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay.

Ohh..
This song is absolutely from my childhood
this song meant a lot to me in 2001-2002. it played on the satellite radio at Ames. a few years ago i tried to recall the song and couldn't find it, until today. sooo glad i finally did!
This song was popular with my exgf and I when it came out. We even saw her in concert and got her autograph. Good times 😀
Oh my gosh this takes me back to waking up on a Saturday morning watching CMT !!!
Omg I finally figured it out! For years I would Google search for this song but imagine typing in "complicated song by Canadian singer" 🤦🏽♀️
Wouldn't that just bring up Avril Lavigne? Lol
@@Majik518 that was exactly my problem 😄
I just love the way Carolyn Dawn Johnson, takes me home!!!
One of the most talented singer-songwriters ever. This album is amazing ❤.
Hello Sharon

October 2024. Love this song !!
This song represents my love life. :(
I love this song.
It was on the top 20 countdown when I was young too great song she had a great voice and the violins or instruments in the background are perfect!!!👍👍
This song came out wen I was in HS. it came out jus wen I was going thru a transition w/ a friend who became more than a fren in jus the perfect way. The exact words n expressions captured my feelings
This song takes me back to the days of 98.7 kmgo being 99 country in ottumwa-centerville

At Scotlied. Should NOT have done that DUMMY!! LAMONT..
I didn’t think this back in the day, but after many years of forgetting about her, she could be Jewel’s doppelgänger
Love this song. Love her
Love her voice
Hello Rebecca
Love this song, finally found it
It took me about 10 minutes to find. Pat myself on the back and realize I'm getting old 😂
Saaaaame.
Reminds me of Michelle...A girl i went out with 15 years ago...she used to play this song before we started dating...
Michelle was obviously telling you she had a crush on you. Lucky for her you picked up the hint
I fell in love with this lady when I first espied this video all those years ago.
I met her in Stanley Park. She was
Sitting there playing her guitar. I was going to give some change
To put in her guitar case. she waves to me no.later on in the
Year. There she was on t.v.
Ever since. A big fan of hers.

Never knew that she was Canadian. Doesn't really matter. Good singer.

AWESOME!!!!!!
i just love this song i had to look it up even in 2020
I heard her interviewed on Satellite radio today.
I loved 😍♥this song. The very first time I had ever heard it.

Feeling this way SOOO MUCH right now
Saw her in concert at Elitch Gardens
In my dreams I'm dancing this song with you.
This came out when I was newly a single dad and totally an emotional wreck.
Same for me a single Mom
Hope you’re both doing okay!
This was released in early April 2001
My last wife sang this to me before we started dating. Too bad she decided to cheat on me years later. I rather miss the way it was when we started out.
