      ​@@kathyrobertson4493 Not really. Imagine men writing a jovial sounding tune about planning to murder one of their wives, hiding the body, and then following thru with it. It definitely wouldn't fly today but it wouldn't have when this was released either.

      With Trudeau in power, this line has even more significance here in Canada: perpetrators of assault are committing assault getting arrested, bailed, and arrested again, same day. One guy in Vancouver was arrested 3 times in one day, once less than an hour after being released. Innocent people should not have to live in fear like this!

    • @scarletamazon3455
      @scarletamazon3455 8 месяцев назад +35

      Because it's so often true. Usually an abusive partner who the courts agree to grant a restraining order against is exactly the kind of person who will completely ignore, or toy around with the restraining order in order to terrify their victim, when the abused partner is also at the highest risk time - when they leave and draw a boundary.
      The song does make the struggles clear. That she tried to do it the lawful way, it didn't protect her and he almost ended her, so they made a plan. The only way she'd be safe, since the courts won't lock them away, and they'll plot revenge even if they get a long sentence and victim is left in fear or in hiding for the rest of her life... Goodbye Earl!
      At least in the US, women can have weapons to defend themselves in their own homes. Those of us in countries where we cannot have a firearm, a taser, or even pepper spray, and abusers ignore restraining orders here too...

      @@scarletamazon3455 I don’t think people necessarily expect that a RO will perfectly protect them, but it does at least mean the victim can call the police without having to wait for another specific threat or assault to occur.
      And, you may not be that much better off. Abuse victims here in the US may have more access to weapons, but so do their abusers. And the abusers tend to choose more lethal methods.

The second it started I said "ooo this sounds good" loved the melody/singing instantly. We were in the middle of moving stuff when the chorus hit "That Earl had to die!", I immediately paused and went "😯 Oh my gosh I love this". Immediately put it on my playlist. Watched this vid about 3 times now. You know when a song is so good, that it makes you cry from how good it is? Not even just sad songs.

    Many years ago, I was to be a witness for an abuse case involving a 4yo girl - against her father (my neighbours at the time). I was also majorly harassed and threatened by the grandfather in an attempt to intimidate me into not testifying - which worked on two of the other witnesses - a babysitter and a pre school teacher. I was soooo angry about what he had done! And having experienced my own childhood and marital trauma, the emotions ran deep.
    This song was my catharsis song! I felt a bit naughty but played it over and over in my car on the way to & from EVERYWHERE, absolutely belting my lungs out to it!

    This song still has a ton of meaning to me .
    And I can't believe people ever had friends like this. My friends would never help me out of a situation. And I j know I needed better friends..but I learned from this song to stop taking crap from anyone..
    I don't ever ever have to put up with crap from anyone. And maybe this song will bring you out of the darkness like it did me..

    These women were comical and musical staples of my generation. Her voice is amazing and the harmonizing is on point. I miss them and I hate that the only reason today’s kids don’t know of them is because Natalie made a statement regarding a president most of us were upset with at the time.

      At the time? Nope. At the time, they weren't remotely the only people who got slapped for refusing to support Bush Jr. and the war. Michael Moore got booed at the Oscars, Martin Sheen was fired by Visa. Being anti-war was being anti-troop. If you didn't have a yellow ribbon your car and Toby Keith's "boot up their ass" music playing on your radio, you were unAmerican. And we all had an obligation to support our President in war-time, especially after 9/11, regardless of whether or not we actually agreed with his decisions.
      It wasn't until years later, after the war was deemed a disaster that never should have been started, and everyone had proof that they'd lied about the reasons we started the war, that most people were against it and happy to hear people crapping on Bush Jr. and his administration. But at the time, ESPECIALLY in country music, what happened to The Chicks is precisely what you would've expected to happen to them. Their experiences were the emblem for the anti-anti-war sentiments at the time.
      It didn't devolve into full McCarthyism, but from those who had lived through both periods, it was deemed eerily familiar.

    So this song means a lot to me. I went through people not caring about the dixie chicks. But I still listened to this song. I was young and dumb. My "real" boyfriend was terrible. Mentally, and emotionally abused me. So when this song came out, my friends changed Earl to his name. After many years, and having even a worse relationship than him, I still think of him and that time. Brings a smile to my face. How my friends had my back, and really cared about me. A song has a meaning to so many people, like a photo album. This is a memory of my friends having my back! And that p.o.s disappearing out of my life.
