Hit the 60+ mark and couldn’t agree more. Laying it all out there while keeping the nuance, subtle and accepting. She’s truly a gem and a positive advocate! ♥️
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS SONG FOR 20 YEARS AND I FINALLY FOUND IT!! My mom played this song when I was a child and for the longest time I convinced myself this song didn't exist, all i could remember was how the rhythm for "i'm the only one" in the chorus went... I didn't even remember the lyrics, just her singing "one" really long and the beginning of the chorus. I heard this song on the radio today on a station that constantly cuts out, but I heard enough to find this!
My father left my mother for another woman when I was 8 years old. As a kid, I used to come home from school and watch MTV while I waited for her to come home from work. This song was a staple of the channel’s rotation back then. I bore witness to what he did to her emotionally, and listening to this always struck a nerve with me that I couldn’t fully grasp at the time. Thirty years later, I understand why. This is a masterpiece of songwriting for anyone who has ever felt the blunt force of betrayal, which is all of us. This is my mother’s song, and all of ours.
I'm a guy and I'm not ashamed at all to say I dig Etheridge and her powerful voice and music. this is coming from someone who also likes death metal and other extreme music. it just goes to show there are many different styles that speak to me in a musical sense.
Me Too who else is listening 2 this in December 2018?? I like all kinds of music anything from death metal to metal to things like the used I love even hip hop I definitely like hip hop and I never thought I would LOL stained I mean you name it I could probably tell you songs by any bad that I really like I even like Queen LOL so you can like a genre of music you don't have to just stick to one
Im crying thru the whole song! It just hit deep ...still \m/ effen Rock'n Out all the perfect words indeed..Im long gone, but the words hit to the core!
I have several female artists that I am truly amazed by, especially when I haven't heard them in a while, Mellisa is one of them, Amanda Marshall, Tracy Chapman and Allayna Miles. I believe they all came out with releases around the same time. Incredibly talented women, musical composition, lyrics, vocals and all of them accomplished guitar players
Melissa Etheridge is awesome on this song , great guitar riffs , great bass & great drums and great vocals , still loving it in 2019 & beyond !!! 👍👍👍 Anyone else ???
Every1 is saying how old this song is. I dont think songs get old. I don't believe music has a time. Whether u like it when came out or hear it again 20 years later doesn't make the song any different. The song was good then, it still will be now. I grew up to 90s pop & I still love it. I cant find anything I like on the radio now. I listen to a mix station & hope they play sumthin good. I'd be delighted to hear this.
My best friend died April 1st 2022, when we first met I'd go to her house to hang out with her and her family in their garage. They had a stack of CDs and I'd always go to this one, Tracy Chapman and Alanis morsette. We've had millions of late night car ride, this is one of the many songs that makes me think of her And absolutely kills me Everytime
For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist-acoustic and electric guitarist Melissa Etheridge, electric guitarist Waddy Wachtel, bassist Pino Palladino, drummer-percussionist Mauricio Lewak, and keyboardist Scott Thurston.
I can only say one thing. Thank you. Today, I decided to listen to all of the sings my mother sang the day before she died, and this song brought tears to eyes, both from happiness and despair... Thank you. As messed up as that sounds, thank you.
Was jamming to this in 1991 and dedicate it to you, REV, you left us too soon but " I remember you" and so much more. Our daughter has shown you just how much she misses and loves you as well as me. She's absolutely wonderful Roger, as she has always done for you and in your memory/name always. The success of a Vaughan. We miss you so much, DDV
her voice is amazing in its own right, but these lyrics are crippling!! just amazing. Pure adrenaline!! Man can she bring it. Sings with so much passion!!
“Rise. It’s time. This moment has been a long time coming. You know that you’ve been chosen. You know you can’t keep running. Stop spinning in circles and start believing in the magic, of who you are meant to be. Spread your wings, and don’t forget to take flight. You’ve been growing them stronger since the start of your life. You only get one chance at this; so honey, let’s get it right. You have the power inside you to soar. Don’t ever give up the fight. Dig down deep and find it inside; all of this power you’ve taught yourself how to hide. Call it to the surface. It’s right there, in your mind. Only you can fulfill your destiny and purpose. Brave girl, it is time to fly.“
Our Loved Ones Are The ONLY ONES That Really LOVE EACH OTHER They Should Be THE ONLY ONE FOR THEM. They're THE ONES That DO SO MANY ROMANTIC Things and So Many Good Things For Each Other. A Man Should ONLY BE IN LOVE With ONE WOMAN and A WOMAN Should ONLY BE IN LOVE With ONE MAN and That's It. That's How It SHOULD ALWAYS Be. MELISSA ETHRIDGE IS THE ONLY ONE That Sang This Song and Did This Song. This Is My FAVORITE Song By MELISSA ETHRIDGE. She Sang IT GOOD And WELL. She Did Great With This Song. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE That LIKES This Song. I Know MANY People LIKE This Song. Agreed? GOOD 90S SONG.👍 🙂
I like you Melissa Etheridge so much and she is great special day together and my sweetheart and my best friend forever together soon and be my valentine Melissa so much and l love you Melissa Etheridge so much and make me happy friend together soon and lm virginia rose downs and lm 43 year old and l will be 44 on January on 27th on Monday coming up soon and lm lesbian too and let you know and so cool friend on earth and she special day together and she special together with you
the lyrics could easily be unisex. a man could relate to the theme of broken promises and destroyed feelings just as easily as woman. one of the best singers ever.
It was incredibly smart of her to release "unisex" type songs early in her career... before it was made public that she was gay... it's so relatable to women who like women and women who like men. Love the song!
I've enjoy this just as much as I did when it 1st came out because my Mother introduced it to me by listening to it alot and the radio played it on Star 94 or Z93 and 96Rock (fm stations in ATL)
When your nine months pregnant and have a burst of energy that won't go away crank this song and blet out the lyrics my fiance is thinking I'm crazy right now cause I have so much energy
My mom loved this song. I remeber saturday cleaning while this cd blares and all the doors and windows open singing with the broom like life would be great.
As a metal head , punk rocker , old school hiphop head , id just like to say that this song is super Effin dope . And ME gets a lot of respect from me .
As a singer and guitarist, this is my go to song when I really want to tell a certain someone something I will never give them the pleasure of hearing. I scream with you Melissa!!! Thank you!!! Much love everyone! ❤
ive been practicing this over and over for the last month for karaoke and went last night and killed it! I love this song so much and I can feel it like she was the first time she sang it
I use to be a dancer on the block on Baltimore st downtown Baltimore MD and this song was my first song on my set of 3 songs. This chick has some lungs on her. This is what you call REAL MUSIC. Still rocking out in 2020 My second song was Magic Man and the last one was Stroke
my mother and I had a really rough history she moved me to Arkansas from ohio got hooked on Crystal meth and left me to fend for myself at 16 I hated her for years but one day years later I heard this song and thought about how before that she was the only one who cared about me and told myself that it's time to reconnect with her she did give me life to find out she clean up and found Jesus so it was a whole new mom it was great
jjones202197 I love this so much. I know how your mother felt. Because I was also that mother. You was probably the only person who kept your mother alive and didn't even know it. I know there was so many times my daughter saved me and she doesn't even know it yet.
I have been through something similar. Its important to see that its not them. its the drugs. they take a hold of people. no mother would willingly give up on their own child and abandon them. thats how i feel anyway.
@@destinytempalski3607 uh...many mothers willingly do that all the time. My mother gave my sister and I up for adoption at 4 & 5years old and she was not battling drug addiction and had family that could have helped. She was just plain selfish and now that I know her as an adult, she still is so I limit my contact with her. She doesn't know how to be a "mom"
Reminds me of a previous lover who followed me from one end of the country to another, and then pussed out. He was always looking for "the next best thing." I was the only one who would treat him well.
I feel like this song inadvertently encourages abusive relationships with narcissistic & psychopathic individuals. I love it!!! I AM THE ONLY ONE!!!! ☝🏼
Your hair is amazing Alicia, not just saying that cause it’s my color to but when it’s worn by a woman no other color is even close to as you could be gorgeous You wouldn’t just stand out in a crowd you make the crowd appear to disappear and be the only one
Melissa you have always been & are still a true inspiration! You are simply amazing! Unique voice & a bad ass guitar player! You make it look so easy! Just simply amazing!
I love her voice.... One of the strongest most powerful voices.... Stevie nicks Toni Braxton Amy Celine Dion Christina Aguilera I could name a few more!
shout out to everyone listening to this in 2017! This electric blues is beyond golden💗😀 Lol I think all mothers loved this song. I love this song it's awesome and fits.
It never wears on! Since it’s release this song has been my #1 favorite female power ballad largely due to Melissa’s throaty, powerful persuasion to convince the listener of her commitment & devotion, regardless of the obvious pain & betrayal she outlines. The lyrics are incredible & perfect in their painted verse of pain, rhyme & unconditional loyalty. I love the ambiguousness to gender, even though we know she wrote this about a woman. Here is where Melissa artistically leaves interpretation open to the masses. The energy & phenomenal deliverance of her voice makes the listener feel every scorching line from the “fire” she would subject herself to, to the “drowning “ desire of her affection, to the forgiveness she projects throughout. It cuts right to our core & soul. The torment & tenderness she screams leaves me breathless & empowered every time I hear this! Simply the greatest female ballad ever written & performed! 💋💕🤗🕯
I Listen to Variety and I Know I'm Old School but I'm Me. This Is One Powerful Song. I'm Into Mix Of Music and I am An Outsider and Not Caught up Into Labels And I Find This Song Cool.
I remember singing this song in like 4th or 5th grade that was bout 26 27 yrs ago I had one idea what she was talking about then I jus have always loved music but hearing this today almost 30 years later I almost cried because I have felt this way in my adult life so many times it will drive ya crazy
My heart has never healed i love him so much we had to beautiful daughters he never looked back never cared i loved him would have walked across a fire for him just wish i could be loved like this as well
30 years old when I heard it first, now pushing 60, still love her music!
Hit the 60+ mark and couldn’t agree more. Laying it all out there while keeping the nuance, subtle and accepting. She’s truly a gem and a positive advocate! ♥️
I'm 67 year's old and I wish that I had a quarter, for everytime that I danced to this song. 😂😂
ok boomer

Yay!!! You found it!!
My father left my mother for another woman when I was 8 years old. As a kid, I used to come home from school and watch MTV while I waited for her to come home from work. This song was a staple of the channel’s rotation back then. I bore witness to what he did to her emotionally, and listening to this always struck a nerve with me that I couldn’t fully grasp at the time.

This woman's voice is so strong, her lyrics are intensely powerful and timeless.
One of the most powerful female voices of all time!
When I am in a bad place emotionally, I ALWAYS turn to Melissa and her music uplifts me and makes me better than before!!
Im crying thru the whole song! It just hit deep ...still \m/ effen Rock'n Out all the perfect words indeed..Im long gone, but the words hit to the core!

I have several female artists that I am truly amazed by, especially when I haven't heard them in a while, Mellisa is one of them, Amanda Marshall, Tracy Chapman and Allayna Miles.

one of the best mix of lyrics, voice, and emotion . "I've been here before, I'm locking the door, and ain't going back again"

Gray, Music is a great emotional release. it's not only tied to the music talent, but the memory's connected to it. So sorry for your loss !

OMG! The power in her voice! Listening 2019! #classic
Now this is a sultry and seductive vibe that makes me smile every time I listen to her voice....raw and free
I love her lyrics they are awesome just close you eyes and listen
"I'm the only one who'll walk across the fire for you"
Coming back to the best tunes in 2023❤❤
the lyrics could easily be unisex. a man could relate to the theme of broken promises and destroyed feelings just as easily as woman. one of the best singers ever.
She awesome!
It was incredibly smart of her to release "unisex" type songs early in her career... before it was made public that she was gay... it's so relatable to women who like women and women who like men. Love the song!
Agreed, my friend...
Everyone should listen to My Lover an Sleep. Omg. The Best EVER
But how is this unisex? She’s a gay woman singing about being gay. I guess it’s unisex if you look at everything from a cis het male view.
I've enjoy this just as much as I did when it 1st came out because my Mother introduced it to me by listening to it alot and the radio played it on Star 94 or Z93 and 96Rock (fm stations in ATL)
Found my new favorite artist! How am I just now finding this! Guess covid lock down gives us something to discover that was here all along!
Better late than never✌
Oh, Melissa is one of the baddest bitches ever, we go back a ways, lol ❤🎶
Welcome to a Masterpiece
Welcome to the Party!!!
She's the BADDEST. Right up there with Bonnie Raitt 😫😍

My mom loved this song. I remeber saturday cleaning while this cd blares and all the doors and windows open singing with the broom like life would be great.
I love the emotion in her voice so much. You can feel the pain and passion, and see it's real.
This reminds me of my mom. I haven’t the slightest idea WHY, but it does. So here I am for the umpteenth time at 3AM crying to Melissa Etheridge. Yay.
Don't cry sing
Here in 2019 there aint voice like that anymore
Straight up, straight down. Melissa has that bad ass voice I dare anyone hold that note. And you the one I am talking about!
Damn girl!
As a metal head , punk rocker , old school hiphop head , id just like to say that this song is super Effin dope . And ME gets a lot of respect from me .
Melissa Etheridge is a very talented singer. I been listening to her since 1994.
Hands down one of the greatest songs ever.
Jamming this one . I love it. .. I love AMJ. I love you Frank

Your hair is amazing Alicia, not just saying that cause it’s my color to but when it’s worn by a woman no other color is even close to as you could be gorgeous You wouldn’t just stand out in a crowd you make the crowd appear to disappear and be the only one
I grew up listening to the classics thanks to my parents, this is one of my faves
I love this song!! I remember listening to it when i was younger, and i still love it to this day!

I remember singing this song in like 4th or 5th grade that was bout 26 27 yrs ago I had one idea what she was talking about then I jus have always loved music but hearing this today almost 30 years later I almost cried because I have felt this way in my adult life so many times it will drive ya crazy
The most memorable part of the lyrics of the song to me is "But, I'm they only one who walks across a fire for you".
