More about this title

About the Artist: Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow emerged as one of the defining voices of 1990s rock and pop, blending country sensibility with rock edge and introspective songwriting. Her work spans multiple genres and has earned Grammy Awards and widespread critical acclaim, establishing her as a significant figure in contemporary music.

Why we love this

This song captures the emotional core of Crow's songwriting—a blend of vulnerability and strength that resonates with students learning to sing with genuine expression. The piano/vocal/chords format makes it accessible for piano-accompanied singing, whether in voice lessons, jazz ensembles, or pop vocal programs.

What to expect

The song carries an intimate, confessional quality—a moment of personal conviction wrapped in rock-grounded musicality. There's warmth in the melody and a sense of quiet determination that makes it both relatable and deeply human.

Who it's for

Voice students and pop vocalists preparing a song for recital or ensemble performance will find this an engaging piece that develops expressive control. Piano students and accompanists can build repertoire for accompanying singers in studio settings or performance contexts.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay attention to the lyrical phrasing to shape dynamic contours; the emotional weight of the song depends on how you breathe and release phrases rather than mechanical vocal technique alone.
  • Use the chord symbols to guide harmonic accompaniment choices, whether you're playing a full arrangement or a simplified comping pattern.
  • Lock the vocal melody with the piano part during rehearsal, then gradually add interpretive space once both parts are secure.

How to use it

This works well in a voice recital or pop vocal showcase, particularly when paired with other contemporary songs that showcase emotional range. It's also suitable for jazz vocal ensembles exploring modern pop standards.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing with emotional authenticity and lyrical intent
  • Reading and interpreting chord symbols for accompaniment
  • Balancing melody and harmony in a piano/vocal texture
  • Phrasing across contemporary song structures
