Garth Brooks - Alphaville Forum

He´s probably not very popular in this forum, but I love his music. Great artist, great live performer (I saw him in Copenhagen in 1994) and a great songwriter. He looks pretty cool too:

yeah as country singers go he's pretty cool!
i've recently started listening to the dixie chicks.

I do like some of Garth Brooks songs. As soon as you get use to the country style, you will find some very good pop songs.

I especially like one track, but I cant remember the name.(Whats the name of it wii? You know which one Im talking about; The one on the cd-single).

I have to say that i like Shanaia Twain better, for the WOMEN not the music.
Hope I dont offend enyone????.

David,

isn´t it: "You Move Me" ?

This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive
And no guarantee

So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground

But you move me
You give me courage I didn't know I had
You move me
I can't go with you
And stay where I am
So you move me

This is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowin' what they mean

And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn't budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for your touch

Oh but you move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Now I'm burning with love
And with hope and desire
How you move me

You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it
Making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way

Oh 'cause you move me
you get me dancing and you make me sing
You move me
Now I'm taking delight
In every little thing
How you move me

Hey,

didn´t expect some Garth Brooks-fans here! Great!
Do you know the video of his live performance where they shatter their guitars to the secret third verse of "Friends In Low Places"? This rocks!

yes, Burkhard - I have that video - it´s awesome !!!! Garth is unlike any other country artist, he´s more a rock performer live !

Why hasn´t he come back to Copenhagen ??? He said he will return...

Latest News:

Garth Brooks has never had a top-10 hit in the U.K. as an artist, but he's about to have a No. 1 song -- as a songwriter. Former Boyzone lead singer Ronan Keating has remade "If Tomorrow Never Comes," Brooks' first No. 1 song on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

I am not a big country fan, but I did catch one of his concerts on tv once.... it was actually very good. He is very energetic and knows how to work the crowd. He packs in stadiums over here in the US.

I went to a professional baseball game a few weeks ago and they played one of his songs over the stereo system and so many people were singing that you almost couldn't hear Garth! It was the one about friends in low places?

Anyway, it does seem strange to read about him in this forum.

Has anyone heard about the stuff he released as Chris Gaines? I really like the version he did of Right Now. That would have to be my favorite Garth song since I am not a big fan of country music.
