This is one of Loveless’ biggest hits for a reason. Between the twangy melody and Loveless’ trademark vocals, “Blame It on Your Heart” is quintessential country. Loveless lets a cheating lover have it when she croons the famous last words of the chorus, so blame it on your lying, cheating / Cold, dead beating / Two-timing, double-dealing / Mean, mi...
Though Loveless is known as a hit country singer, she also has a passion for bluegrass music. The Kentucky native allowed that to shine through with her 2001 cover of fellow Kentuckian Darrell Scott’s “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive,” who originally wrote and recorded the song as a tribute to the coal miners in their home state. Loveless’ powerful...
It’s nearly impossible not to have tears in your eyes listening to “How Can I Help You Say Goodbye.” The song opens with a young Loveless saying goodbye to her best friend as her family moves away, followed by a second verse where she watches her husband pack his bags and walk out on their marriage. The chorus is where she provides comfort through ...
“Lonely Too Long” is simple, but sweet. Here, Loveless is a confident woman who had a one-night stand. But there’s no shame in it as she proclaims we ain’t done nothing wrong / We’ve just been lonely too long. The song ends on a hopeful note, with Loveless ready with arms wide open should her lover ever be open to falling in love. “Lonely Too Long”...
“If My Heart Had Windows” was originally recorded by George Jones in 1967 and Loveless scored her first hit with a cover of the classic. Loveless offered her take on the romantic ballad and released it as a single in 1988. With a waning steel guitar paired with Loveless’ soaring vocals it’s no wonder it became her first top 10 hit and lent itself a...
The closing track on her 1988 album, If My Heart Had Windows, is certainly worthy of a listen. Loveless’ convincing voice conveys the lovelorn lyrics that make it clear there’s no one she’d rather spend her life with than the person who left her. And just once in a lifetime / Someone like me can find / Someone to love like you / And nobody else wil...
Loveless doesn’t need any tricks to convey this heartbreaking song. Here, she pleads with a lover who has one foot out the door not to leave their love behind. Loveless’ voice has never sounded better, capturing all of the deep sorrow and emotion that comes with such lyrics as don’t toss us away / So thoughtlessly / It just ain’t right / Oh can’t y...
“Chains” is another hit that’s synonymous with Loveless’ name. Like “Lonely Too Long,” Loveless is in a confident state of mind, resisting a man who doesn’t know what he wants, one minute breaking up with her and the next he wants her back. But Loveless isn’t having it, longing to be free once and for all as she sings no matter what it takes someda...
After you get through the sorrow of some of Loveless’ sadder songs, let “Hurt Me Bad” help soothe the pain. Co-written by fellow country star Deborah Allen with Rafe Van Hoy, “Hurt Me Bad” puts a positive spin on a breakup. Despite its title, the song finds Loveless on the other side of a breakup, feeling grateful for the heartbreak as opposed to b...
Loveless takes a contemplative tone with “Here I Am.” The song allows her deep, soulful vocals to soar as she promises a lost lover that she still carries a flame for him that will never burn out. Should he ever decide to come back into her life after a strong drink or two, she is ready and waiting. In the bourbon and the water / That burn you just...
