Garth Brooks/Tear Jerker

This voice of nineties country music isn't burnin' the house down, he's making you blubber.


 * "Burning Bridges", in which a man contemplates his string of broken relationships, and knows that despite wanting desperately to change, he probably won't manage to do so until it's far too late.
 * "Standing Outside the Fire" can make one cry tears of amazement that someone could write such a wonderful song.
 * "Good Ride Cowboy", despite (or maybe even because of) its upbeat tune, is still a tribute to his late friend Chris LeDoux.
 * "The Change" was written just after the Oklahoma City bombings.
 * The video for "The Dance" contained clips of John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King, the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger, John Wayne, country singer Keith Whitley, and bullrider Lane Frost (who died during an event).
 * Others include "When You Come Back To Me Again" and "More Than A Memory".
