MORE REASONS TO LOVE SHANIA TWAIN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

photo 1 Writing recently in American Songwriter, journalist Alex Hopper reminded us that although we all know Shania Twain\u00b4s greatest hits album, there have been at least as many others of her songs that deserved as much attention. Hopper sited five and I went back and had a listen, and she\u00b4s right !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

here is how she convinced me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b4Shania Twain<\/a> stole our hearts with era-defining hits like \u201cMan! I Feel Like a Woman,\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re Still the One\u201d and \u201cLove Gets Me Every Time.\u201d She has found runaway success as a country singer and international fame as a pop artist. It seems whatever she does, we all get on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the singer recently gave fans a look into her life\u2019s story with a new Netflix documentary<\/a>, we over here at American Songwriter wanted to look back at her discography for ourselves. Though Twain has no shortage of record-shattering hits, let\u2019s look at just a few of the tracks that didn\u2019t soar up the charts \u2013 though are just as deserving of a spot on your playlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThere Goes the Neighborhood\u201d (From\u00a0<\/strong>Shania Twain<\/em>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twain reflects on divorce and the loss of love in \u201cThere Goes the Neighborhood.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple down the block is splitting up I hear \/ and they\u2019re the third ones on our street this year<\/em>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

she sings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This deep cut is taken from her debut album, which featured mostly songs taken from other writers, with this track being originally recorded by Joe Diffie. Despite not penning the track, Twain injects her own soaring vocals and emotionality into the song as if she did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. \u201cRaining on Our Love\u201d (From <\/strong>The Woman in Me<\/em>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Woman in Me)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This song featured<\/strong> an unprecedented eight singles pushed out to radio, which left very few surprises left on the album by the time it came out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, one hidden gem that did fly under the radar is the acoustic ballad \u201cRaining on Our Love.\u201d The simple production allowed Twain to add some lyrical heft to the track along with some traditional lap steel which gave listeners a final look at Twain in her sole country era<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. \u201cLeaving is the Only Way Out\u201d (from\u00a0<\/strong>The Woman in Me<\/em>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another subdued moment on The Woman in Me<\/em> is \u201cLeaving is the Only Way Out.\u201d This heavy-on-the-piano track is a welcomed chill pill on the hit heavy album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She pays homage to the likes of Patsy Cline with a bit of warping steel guitar and a classic country melody. Twain\u2019s moving vocals tug a little extra<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. \u201cWho\u2019s Gonna Be Your Girl\u201d (From<\/strong> Now<\/em>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twain herself said she wished \u201cWho\u2019s Gonna Be Your Girl\u201d got a little more love \u2013 and we agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She compared the slow-burning track to a Taylor Swift song from her sophomore record, \u201cForever & Always.\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s a song off the Now<\/em> album called \u2018Who\u2019s Gonna Be Your Girl,’\u201d she told Apple Music Hits<\/a>. \u201cI just enjoy listening to that song as a listener, a music listener. It\u2019s very easy-going. It reminds me a little bit of the song \u2018Forever and For Always.’\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

at the heartstrings on this track<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.<\/strong> \u201cWhatever You Do! Don\u2019t!\u201d (From <\/strong>Come on Over<\/em>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one thing Twain does better than anyone else it\u2019s wry, chiding humor. In \u201cWhatever You Do! Don\u2019t!\u201d she adorably lays the blame for her infatuation with a new lover on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you stand too close to me, I might melt down from the heat<\/em>, she sings before admitting I\u2019m such a sucker for your eyes<\/em>. The tension between the two of them is heavy, with a bouyant melody and rocky guitar line making the whole thing a little lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, thank you Ms. Hopper, we\u00b4ll add one of these songs to our May Edition of Names That Fell Out In conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
