Текст песни How Do I Live

"How Do I Live" is a 1997 song, written by Diane Warren. It was released originally by Trisha Yearwood and shortly afterward by Leann Rimes. The song was originally intended for release as a single for the 1997 action blockbuster Con Air soundtrack. Warren wrote the song for Rimes to sing. The film producers felt that Rimes' version had too much of a pop feeling to it, and requested that she re-record it to fit their standards. She refused, and the producers chose Trisha Yearwood to record the song. Her more country-style version was released on May 27, 1997 and appeared in the film. When Rimes heard of the release, she quickly released her version. Despite only peaking as high as number seven in the UK Singles Chart[1], LeAnn Rimes' version of "How Do I Live" spent thirty-four weeks in the chart. It set a record for staying on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for sixty-nine weeks. The song entered the Top 25 Country singles chart on June 21, 1997 and was still there in February 2003, a record 291 weeks (five and half years) later. How Do I Live was covered by F.I.R. (Faye and Real featuring LeAnn Rimes). F.I.R. invited Rimes to record a portion of the song for their third album Flight Tribe in 2006. The song has also been performed on the hit show American Idol, Vonzell Solomon in Season 4, Paris Bennett in Season 5, and Meosha Denton in Season 2. It was also part of American Idol Season 2 compilation, sung by Carmen Rasmusen. Rimes' version ranks at #4 on Billboard's All Time Top 100.[2] The single has been certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA for shipments of over 3 million copies in the United States.[3] On the digital front, it routinely shifts more than 1,000 units per week, for a to-date total in excess of 203,000. Both the Rimes and the Yearwood versions debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending June 14, 1997. LeAnn Rimes' version peaked at number two and spent a record-breaking sixty-nine weeks on the chart, more than any other song in history, (until Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" (2008) and spent 34 weeks on the UK singles chart. Trisha Yearwood's version was moving quickly up the charts, getting as high as number twenty-three, when MCA refused to issue any more copies of the single, for fear of cannibalizing album sales. The limited press run of 300,000 sold out quickly, and the single was off the Hot 100 after twelve weeks. Yearwood's single on the country charts quickly climbed all the way to number 2. Rimes' version spent 11 weeks atop the Adult Contemporary chart.[5] In Australia, Rimes' version peaked on the ARIA Charts at number 17 while Yearwood's peaked at number 2. In 1998, for the first time in history, the Grammy Awards nominated two artists for the same song in the same category. Directly following LeAnn Rimes' performance of the song, Trisha Yearwood won the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.[6] Yearwood also performed the song at the Country Music Awards for which she won the 1997 award for Female Vocalist of the Year[7] Yearwood also won the 1997 ACM Award for Top Female Vocalist.[8] The single was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost to My Heart Will Go On.[9] Yearwood performed the song at the ceremony. In 2008, Filipina singer Nina Girado recorded her own version of the song for her album Nina Sings The Hits of Diane Warren.
