    Shania Twain

    Styles: Country, Contemporary Country, Country-Pop, Pop/Rock, Adult Contemporary

    Emerging in the mid-'90s, Shania Twain (pronounced shu-NYE-uh) became the most popular country music artist since Garth Brooks. Skillfully fusing mainstream, AOR rock production with country-pop, Twain and her producer/husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange created a commercial juggernaut with her second album, The Woman in Me. The record became a multi-platinum phenomenon, peaking at number five on the pop charts and eventually selling over nine million copies in America alone. Twain might have sold a lot of records, but like other mega-selling acts before her, she earned few good reviews -- most critics accused her of diluting country with bland, anthemic hard rock techniques and of shamelessly selling her records with sexy videos. Fans ignored such complaints, mainly because her audience was comprised of many listeners that had grown accustomed to such marketing strategies by constant exposure to MTV. And Twain, in many ways, was the first country artist to fully exploit MTV's style. She created a sexy, video-oriented image -- she didn't even tour during the year when The Woman in Me was on the top of the country charts -- that appealed not only to the country audience, but also to pop fans. In turn, she became a country music phenomenon.

    Twain was born in Windsor, Ontario, and raised in the small, rural town of Timmins, Ontario. As a child, she learned to play guitar at an early age and would spend much of her time singing, writing, and playing. Early on in her musical development, her parents pushed her on stage, making her perform frequently around their little town; often, she would be pulled out of bed around one in the morning to sing at local bars, since as a child she could only appear in the clubs after they had stopped serving alcohol. In addition to bars, she sang on local radio and television stations and community events. When she was 21 years old, both of her parents died in a car crash, forcing her to take responsibility for her four younger brothers. In order to pay the bills and keep food on the table, she took a job singing at a resort in Deerhurst. With the money she earned at the resort, she bought a house and had the family settle down.

    At the resort, she sang show tunes, from George Gershwin to Andrew Lloyd Webber, as well as a little country. Twain stayed there for three years, at the end of which all of her siblings had begun lives of their own. When she was finally independent again, she assembled a demo tape of her songs, and her manager set up a showcase concert in Canada. Twain caught the attention of a few insiders with the concert, and within a few months, Mercury Nashville had signed her to their roster. Her eponymous debut album was released in 1993, and although it wasn't a major hit, it performed respectably in the United States, launching two minor hit singles, "What Made You Say That" and "Dance With the One That Brought You"; in Europe, the album was more successful and Country Music Television Europe named her Rising Video Star of the Year.

    Shortly after the release of Shania Twain, the singer met and fell in love with Robert John "Mutt" Lange, a hard rock producer known for his work with AC/DC, Def Leppard, Foreigner, and the Cars. Lange had been wanting to move into country music for a while, and after hearing Twain's debut album, he decided to get in contact with her with the intention of working on an album. By the end of the year, the pair had married and begun working on her second record. The two either wrote or co-wrote the material that eventually formed The Woman in Me.

    The Woman in Me was released in the spring of 1995. Its first single, "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?," went to number 11 early in the year, quickly followed by "Any Man of Mine," which became her first number one single in the spring. The album's title track went to number 14 in the fall, while the fourth single, "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!," rocketed to number one toward the end of the year; early in 1996, "No One Needs to Know" became her third number one hit. By the beginning of 1996, The Woman in Me had sold over six million copies and broken the record for the most weeks spent at number one on the country charts. During the course of 1996, it would rack another three million in sales. Come On Over followed in 1997. She spent the next two years touring the globe in support of the album; by the end of 1999, Come On Over had sold 36 million copies.

    Twain took a sabbatical and returned to her Swiss home for some down time with her husband. The next summer, she and Lange welcomed their first child. A son, whom they named Eja, arrived August 21, 2001. During this time, Twain brainstormed for a fourth album. While balancing a domestic life and a career, the end result was Up!, which appeared in November 2002. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

    The Woman In Me Album

    HOME AIN'T WHERE HIS HEART IS(ANYMORE)

    Home Ain't Where His Heart Is
    He knew how to reach me deep inside
    And he found a part of me I could not hide
    And we'd walk and talk and touch tenderly
    Then he'd lay me down and make love to me

    We built a love so strong it couldn't break
    There was not a road we were afraid to take
    And we'd kiss all the way from Arkansas to Rome
    'Cause in each other's arms we were home sweet home

    But he don't feel the same
    Since our lives became
    Years of bills, babies and chains

    Home ain't where his heart is anymore
    He may hang his hat behind our bedroom door
    But he don't lay his head down to love me like before
    Home ain't where his heart is anymore

    If foundations made of stone can turn to dust
    Then the hardest hearts of steel can turn to rust
    If he could only find that feeling once again
    If we could only change the way the story ends

    And he may still come home
    But I live here alone
    The love that built these walls is gone

    Home ain't where his heart is anymore
    He may hang his hat behind our bedroom door
    But he don't lay his head down to love me like before

    He don't lay his head down to love me like before
    Home ain't where his heart is anymore
    No, home ain't where his heart is anymore

     

    Any Man Of Mine

    This is what a woman wants...
    Any man of mine better be proud of me
    Even when I'm ugly he still better love me
    And I can be late for a date that's fine
    But he better be on time
    Any man of mine'll say it fits just right
    When last year's dress is just a little too tight
    And anything I do or say better be okay
    When I have a bad hair day
    And if I change my mind
    A million times
    I wanna hear him say
    Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah I like that way

    Chorus:
    Any man of mine better walk the line
    Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
    I need a man who knows, how the story goes
    He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
    Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
    Any man of mine
    Well any man of mine better disagree
    When I say another woman's lookin' better than me
    And when I cook him dinner and I burn it black
    He better say, mmm, I like it like that yeah
    And if I change my mind
    A million times
    I wanna hear him say
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it that way

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah I like it that way

    (Repeat Chorus)

    You gotta shimmy shake
    Make the earth quake
    Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then you jump
    Heel to toe, Do Si Do
    'Til your feet And your backache
    Keep it movin' `till you just can't take anymore
    Come on everybody on the floor
    A-one two, a three four
    Hup two, hup
    If you wanna be a man of mine, that's right
    This is what a woman wants...

    I FOUND THIS ON THE SHANIA TWAIN ON LINE FAN CLUB SITE AND SHANIAWARRIOR IS WHO WROTE THIS AND I PERSONALLY THINK THAT ITS GREAT AND IF THEY HAVEN'T THEY SHOULD SEND IT TO SHANIA I THINK SHE WOULD ADORE THIS.

    Parody to "Any Man of Mine" titled "Any Fan of Mine"
    Written by shaniawarrior of STUSOFC
    Any fan of mine better be proud of me
    I'm gonna have a baby, it won't be ugly
    My CD will be late, but you know that's fine
    It's taken' a long time

    Any fan of mine say it fits just right
    When my grammy dress is just a little too tight
    And whatever the press say is not ok
    They're just lies anyway

    At the Timmins mine
    We'll have a good time
    If you agree say yeah, yeah
    Yeah we're on our way

    CHORUS:
    Any fan of mine will travel a long time
    To the center, whether it is rain or shine
    All my fans know I won't be at the show
    Because I'm gonna be a mama, Mutt's gonna be a papa anytime
    Any fan of mine

    Any fan of mine will disagree
    When someone says a singer is better than me
    They'll defend me from a lot of crap
    Because hmmm they're devoted like that

    At the Timmins mine
    We'll have a good time
    If you agree say yeah, yeah
    Yeah we're on our way

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
    yeah we're on our way
    (Repeat Chorus)

    WHOSE BED HAVE YOUR BOOTS BEEN UNDER
    WRITTEN BY SHANIA TWAIN AND MUTT LANGE

    Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?
    Whose bed have your boots been under?
    Whose bed have your boots been under?
    And Whose heart did you steal I wonder?
    This time did it feel like thunder, baby?
    Whose bed have your boots been under?

    Don't look so lonely
    Don't act so blue
    I know I'm not the only
    Girl you run to
    I know about Lolita
    Your little Spanish flame
    I've seen you around with Rita
    The redhead down the lane

    Chorus:
    Whose bed have your boots been under?
    And Whose heart did you steal I wonder?
    This time did it feel like thunder, baby?
    And who did you run to?
    And whose lips have you been kissin'?
    And whose ear did you make a wish in?
    Is she the one that you've been missin', baby?
    Well whose bed have your boots been under?

    I heard you've been sneakin'
    Around with Jill
    And what about that weekend
    With Beverly Hill
    And I've seen you walkin'
    With long legs Louise
    And you weren't just talkin'
    Last night with Denise

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Come on boots....

    So next time you're lonely
    Don't call on me
    Try the operator
    Maybe she'll be free

    (Repeat Chorus)

    I wanna know whose bed, baby
    Whoa baby, tell me
    Whose bed, yes I wanna know
    You better start talkin'
    Or you better start walkin'....

    If You're Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here!
    Mind if I sit down?
    Can I buy you a round?
    Haven't seen your face before
    Are you new in town?
    It's the same old line
    Oh every time
    Are you here alone?
    Can I take you home?

    Now every woman sees
    With every "pretty please"
    There's a pair of lyin' eyes
    And a set of keys
    He says come be a star
    In the back seat of my car
    Oh but baby slow down
    Your goin' way too far

    Let me make it clear to you my dear

    Chorus:
    If you're not in it for love (baby)
    If you're not willin' to give it all you got
    If you're not in it for life
    If you're not in it for love
    Let me make it clear to you my dear
    If you're not in it for love
    I'm outta here!

    Babe I can change your world
    Make you a cover girl
    Yeah you could be a beauty queen
    In a magazine
    Now tell me, what's you sign?
    Why always the same old line?
    I'll be in number 409
    If you change your mind

    Let me make it clear to you my dear

    (Repeat Chorus)

    (Lead Solo)

    (Repeat Chorus)

    If you're not in it for life
    If you're not in it for love
    I'm outta here!

    The Woman In Me
    I'm not always strong
    And sometimes I'm even wrong
    But I win when I choose
    And I can't stand to lose

    But I can't always be
    The rock that you see
    When the nights get too long
    And I just can't go on

    Chorus:
    The woman in me
    Needs you to be
    The man in my arms
    To hold tenderly
    'Cause I'm a woman in love
    And it's you I run to
    Yeah the woman in me
    Needs the man in you

    When the world wants too much
    And it feels cold and out of touch
    It's a beautiful place
    When you kiss my face

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Yeah the woman in me
    Needs the man in you

    I need you baby
    Yeah yeah
    Oh baby...
     
     
     

    The Woman In Me Album

    Is There Life After Love?
    Every road had a rainbow
    And every wish had a star
    Every tear had a shoulder to cry on
    And every night had guitars
    But every fool's a lonely fool
    And such a fool am I
    'Cause every night I think of you
    And every night I die

    Chorus:
    Is there life after love?
    Some things aren't certain
    But some things I'm sure of
    Like angels in Heaven
    And God up above
    But is there life after love?

    You gave me forgiveness
    But you could not forget
    No, I should never have told you
    What I'll live to regret
    The truth lies between us
    And I can't take it back
    No, it's too late for lyin' now
    It's too late for that

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Here I am, there you are
    We're so far apart
    Let's pretend that I've never been
    In his hands, in his heart
    Can't we just start
    All over again?

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Is there life after love?
     
     
     

    The Woman In Me Album

    If It Don't Take Two
    It takes two to tango
    And two lips to seal a kiss
    But a flame and a candle
    Won't burn on a night like this
    If it don't take two

    It takes two to go one way
    And two winds to be strong enough
    But you can't sail on a still day
    Like two ships on a sea of love
    If it don't take two
    Noah knew what he had to do
    Ooh oh yeah
    He sent us out in the world walkin'
    two by two
    Ooh...

    Chorus:
    If it don't take two
    If it don't take two
    If it don't take two
    And if I'm not with you
    No it ain't worth goin' through
    If it don't take two

    It takes two hearts with one beat
    And it takes two to say I do
    But the champagne won't taste sweet
    And the dream just won't come true
    If it don't take two

    Noah knew what he had to do, oh yeah
    He sent us out in the world walkin'
    two by two, me and you

    (Repeat Chorus)

    He sent us out in the world walkin'
    two by two, me and you
    Baby...

    (Repeat Chorus Twice)

    You Win My Love
    I'm lookin' for a lover
    Who can rev his little engine up
    He can have a '55 Chevy
    Or a fancy little pick-up truck
    If he's got a cool Cadillac
    With a jacuzzi in the back I'm in, oh yeah
    'Cause I'm a classy little chassis
    Who's a-huntin' for a heart to win

    Oh, but if you wanna win it

    A full of steam dream machine
    Or just a little late night
    Sexy long stretch limousine

    Oh, but if you wanna win it
    Babe, there's no speed limit
    Just go faster, faster, don't be slow
    Rev it up, rev it up 'til your engines blows

    Raining On Our Love
    Remember me the way I was
    The way I'd make you late for work
    I had to hold you, just because

    Remember you the way you'd wake me up
    To love me once again
    We were lover, we were friends

    But I was chasin' rainbows
    Blinded by the sun
    And did I take for granted
    I'd be the only one?

    Chorus:
    I didn't know you were so lonely
    Am I to blame for makin' you that way?
    Did I neglect all that mattered?
    With my head so far above
    The clouds I didn't see
    That it was raining on our love

    Remember when, just to feel my touch
    Was all you ever needed
    Oh it used to be enough

    Remember when love
    Was a promise we would give our lives
    to keep and no river ran as deep
    But I was chasin' rainbows
    Blinded by the sun
    And did I take for granted
    I'd be the only one?

    (Repeat Chorus)

    I was taking all the love you had to give
    But I was too lost in life to know
    That without my love in return you could not live
    Now she gives the love I did not show

    (Repeat Chorus)
     
     
     

    The Woman In Me Album

    Leaving Is The Only Way Out
    I'm not sayin' I have all the answers
    And I don't care who's right or wrong
    I'm tryin' to pick up the pieces already fallen
    And put them back where they belong

    Chrous:
    So slow your horses
    Stop draggin' me around
    And if cryin' is the only way into your heart
    Then leavin' is the only way out

    We've slammed every door in anger
    And we've opened wounds we can't mend
    And one night lonely is one night too many
    Don't wanna wake up to one more night that won't end

    (Repeat Chrous)

    When late nights and long lies came knockin'
    You just invited them in
    And our voices got too loud for talkin'
    Then my heart hit the floor
    But your feet just kept walkin'

    And if cryin' is the only way you hear me hurtin'
    For the lovin' that I can't live without
    And if lovin' ain't the only way into your heart
    Then leavin' is the only way out

    Oh leavin' is the only way out
     
     
     

    The Woman In Me Album

    No One Needs To Know
    Am I dreamin' or stupid?
    I think I've been hit by Cupid
    But no one needs to know right now

    I met a tall, dark and handsome man
    And I've been busy makin' big plans
    But no one needs to know right now

    I got my heart set, my feet wet
    And he don't even know it yet
    But no one needs to know right now

    I want bells to ring, a choir to sing
    The white dress the guests the cake the car
    the whole darn thing
    But no one needs to know right now

    I'll tell him someday some way somehow
    But I'm gonna keep it a secret for now

    We'll have a little girl a little boy
    A little Benji we call Leroy
    But no one needs to now right now

    And I'm not lonely anymore at night
    And he don't know only only he can make it right

    And I'm not lonely anymore at night
    And he don't know only only he can make it right

    I'm dreamin' or stupid
    But boy have I been hit by Cupid
    But no one needs to know right now

    No one needs to know right now...

    God Bless The Child
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    God bless the child who suffers
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    God bless the young without mothers
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    Let every man help his brother
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    Let us all love one another
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    Make all our hearts blind to color
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    God bless the child who suffers


    I can’t remember how, where, or when I first discovered Shania Twain, but discover her I did. Somewhere along the road to my Country music awakening I stumbled across her and was instantly hooked (and so were two of my girls by the way). It not as if Shania has the voice of and angel like Jessica Andrews, or Martina McBride, or even the sensual presence of Trisha Yearwood. Shania and her oft-time firebrand style of Country are just plain fun to listen to! Her songs are energetic, sexy, and enticing. And what Shania’s voice lacks in range, depth, and quality, are made up by her seemingly never-ending supply energy, enthusiasm, and love for her craft. I say again that Shania is just plan fun to listen to.

    The Woman in Me is Shania’s second swing at the preverbal music stardom bat and this time she hit if not a grand slam, certainly a home run with an album, which contains a marvelous mixture of feel good and brokenhearted tunes. All of the songs, with the exception of You Win My Love (penned by Lange alone), and Leaving is The Only Way Out (written by Twain alone), were written by the Shania Twain and her husband Jeff “Mutt” Lange; Lange also produced the album. The two did a masterful job writing the lyrics and music for this album. The finished product is a polished lively, toe-tapping, head popping, tear-jerking collage that is sure to please even the most discerning country music fan.

    It’s a rare affair when I enjoy every track on an album, but from the opening rhythm to the last fade away, none of the songs on this album failed to catch and hold my attention. Yet being the romantic fool I am the slow tracks (Home Ain’t Where His Heart is (Anymore, the title track, The Woman in Me, and Raining on Our Love), are my favorite cuts on the LP.

    The CD opens with the sweet turned sad ballad Home Ain’t Where His Heart is (Anymore). From there the album takes off on a musical roller coaster ride, wherein all the classical country music instruments are sampled and re-sampled, but still manage to produce a uniqueness I found fresh and inviting on each track. Indeed it’s the music that carries the album, Shania’s voice seems at times incidental to the magic of the music. During several tracks I found myself thinking, “man these guy must have had fun playing putting together the sessions for this album.”

    The only hiccup on the album for me is the last track, God Bless The Child. Although the track is only 1 minute and 30 seconds in duration, it seems oddly out of place on this LP, and to tell the truth I don’t particularly care for it. Solidly written and nicely produced, Shania’s voice lacks the power and range to do the song justice.

    If this album is not part of your Shania collection, your collection is not complete. With enough energy and drive to power the space shuttle, The Woman in Me is well worth the listen and should be playing in a CD player near you, perhaps while you are driving; it’s guaranteed to make rush hour traffic something to look forward to…
