[edit] Rascal Flatts

This article should be rewritten to reflect the fact that the song is now a big hit for Rascal Flatts, more successful than it ever was for O'Meara. Bufflo 10:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

What do you think the chart at the bottom is for?
Bring your uninformed rudeness somewhere else, unsigned. See WP:5P. Bufflo 19:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
It should only be merged if the song was a remake. For example there are thousands of songs called Bad Day, but there isn't one article called Bad Day. There are tons of different articles for Bad Day. Tcatron565 23:13, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Why did you remove the information about Rascal Flatts but nothing else? I'm also not sure what you mean by "a remake." There's a lot of articles for songs that have been recorded by several artists. The fact that this song was written by a songwriter (as opposed to the artist recording it) makes its origins a little more vague though. In addition to being a songwriter myself, I have studied all four versions, plus Jeffrey Steele's own version, so feel free to explain this cover/remake difference to me in non-layman terms. Anyway, are you saying that there should be a separate article for the version recorded by Rascal Flatts? That makes no sense, but maybe that's standard procedure. Bufflo 00:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Allison Emry

It should also say that Allison Emry did the somg as well.

Possibly, if she's a notable artist in the first place. Bufflo 18:58, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not saying she is. I'm just saying they should mention everyone who did it, not just a select few.
So if I recorded a version of it and sold it on cdbaby.com, I could put my name on there too? Allison Emry may be a great performer, for all I know, but my point is that maybe only major releases, known to a wider audience, should be included -- just like not all artists belong on Wikipedia, see WP:N.

Well, I never even heard of Bellefire until I looked up the history of this song.
Whether you've ever heard of Bellefire or not really isn't relevant. The song charted for them and they will be very familiar to Irish readers (and remember that the English Language Wikipedia is the Irish Wikipedia as much as it is the American Wikipedia)90.196.172.47 00:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Track listings

Which artist do the track listings belong to? — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 00:34, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I assume it's for the O'Meara single, but I don't think they belong on this page, since the article is not about one single specific single. Bufflo 16:44, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Totally confused article

As this article is about the song itself, and subsequent recordings of it, then it shouldn't start with a reference to Jo O'Meara. Plus the tracklistings as mentioned above. 172.201.122.151 05:12, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
