"On another note, I'm intrigued as to why, on the AOL Music Sessions, at the end of the track, something certainly seems to have amused Emily. It may have something to do with the fact that Natalie also says that, for those sessions, they have to go through all of the takes to find the one that Emily messed up the least on that song So, perhaps, that was the only take where Emily didn't play a bum note?! " When and where did Natalie say this? Hi jgap! The answer is that she says it in the AOL Sessions, which can be found at: music.aol.com/videos/sessions/live-performance-archive/dixie-chicksWhen the menu comes up after a few seconds, put your cursor over "Videos" and click on "Behind the Scenes". Natalie also adds "It's workable" in her own inimitable comical way. Great stuff! If you haven't seen this session before, then I'm sure you'll enjoy it - 4 tracks from the TTLW CD and 2 oldies.

Emily's smile is one of relief. After several previous takes , She finally got it right this time. Nat's look toward Her I think is most endearing. It's like She doesn't want Emily to notice Her, so as not to add any more pressure on Her. Yet She is willing Emily on to nail it.Beautiful. You're probably right, Tony. It was just my devious mind to think otherwise

Can't watch it, say it is loading but nothing happens Sorry to hear that!. Do you get the menu with "Videos" "Main" and nos. 1-10? If so, and "Behind the Scenes" doesn't work by itself, it may be worth trying "Play all videos" and the "Behind the Scenes" bit comes after the 6 songs. Alternatively, try googling "AOL sessions" + ""dixie Chicks". If that doesn't work, then perhaps, for some reason, you can't access it in Oz(??), but I would doubt this, as I'm in the UK and I can get it OK. Good luck anyway!

Before I got the TTLW special edition CD with AOL Sessions and the Rick Rubin interview on it, I used to sit here on CRCR 'til 3 or 4 in the morning watching Nancy's post of the AOL Sessions. Fantastic stuff!

Indeed. But I think it is pretty obvious that the song is about giving one's child away! That's what I thought when I first heard it and the only thing that really makes sense to me...

I love this song too! It's one of my faves on the cd (but I pretty much love all of 'em!) There's a scene in SUAS with Rick Rubin in which they are discussing an early version of this song. What's amazing is that when I first saw the movie in the theater, my thoughts echoed exactly what Rick Rubin says--something to the effect of "this song is kind of bland but it has great potential." That early version sounded kind of generic so I was really impressed with what they came up with for the final version of "voice" having heard what they started with.
When I first heard the song on the cd I thought it was about giving up a boy she loved when she was young. THen I read the baby scenario and that makes more sense with the lyrics. My two cents on the adoption vs. abortion: I think it's deliberately left open to the listener to decide.

This is my absolute favourite song on TTLW. I personally think it is about adoption. I loved it from the moment I heard it.. and back when I first heard it, I was listening to it about a thousand times a day. it seems to me that most of the lyrics relate to adoption...But I am unaware of the connection to the people (s) who wrote it. But Natalies voice on that song just sends chills throughout my entire body..
