Anne Murray Duets: Friends & Legends showcases a wide variety of Anne's favorite female vocalists. Among the album’s tracks and collaborating artists are "Snowbird" with Sarah Brightman, "You Needed Me" with Shania Twain, "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" with Anne’s daughter Dawn Langstroth, "Danny's Song" with Martina McBride, “Another Pot O’ Tea” with Emmylou Harris, “A Little Good News” with Indigo Girls, “Cotton Jenny" with Olivia Newton-John, “Could I Have This Dance” with Amy Grant, “Daydream Believer” with Nelly Furtado, “A Love Song” with k.d. lang, “Time Don’t Run Out On Me” with the song’s writer, Carole King, and more.
In 1979, Anne and Dusty Springfield each recorded the song "I Just Fall In Love Again." Anne's version became a hit single that garnered her Canada’s Juno Award for "Single of the Year" in 1980. Anne and Dusty remained friends until Dusty’s passing in 1999, and for Anne, releasing an album with this type of sisterly theme wouldn't seem complete without Dusty's inclusion. With the blessing of the Springfield family and estate, a new version pairing Dusty's original with Anne’s newly recorded vocals is featured on the album.
Anne Murray Duets: Friends & Legends was produced by one of the most respected music producers in the world, Phil Ramone (Tony Bennett, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Barbra Streisand, Billy Joel), who counts 14 Grammy Awards and 32 Grammy nominations among his many honors. Together, Anne and Phil decided they would treat the songs on their own terms and not adhere rigidly to the arrangements of Anne’s classic versions. While Anne had designs on how she imagined the arrangements, she gave Phil free rein to rework the songs.
“We approached the sessions as if we were just handed these songs and told to make this record,” explains Ramone. “While arrangements were changed, there are also licks on some songs that I didn’t mess with. We stayed true to the song.”
Working with Anne for the first time, Ramone adds, was an easy task. “What I love about Anne is there are no words minced about whatever she feels,” he says. “This is not a person you have to think, ‘Will she tell me the truth?’ When we met for a few hours in Michigan before we started, we agreed we wanted to bring some daring ideas and some freshness to this album.”
“I said to Phil,” joked Anne, “The only reason I asked you was that I’m the only singer left that you haven’t worked with!”
“I’ve done duets throughout my career,” Anne says. “I did duets when I started out on (CBC Television’s) ‘Singalong Jubilee.’ I did a duets album in 1971 with Glen Campbell. Growing up I did lot of group singing at school and sang with my brothers. I’ve always loved singing harmony.”
Since releasing her debut album in 1967, Anne Murray has been honored with a spectacular number of awards. She is the proud recipient of four Grammy Awards, three American Music Awards, three Country Music Association Awards, three Canadian Country Music Association Awards and twenty-four Juno Awards. Anne has also been honored with the Legacy Award from the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (2006), the East Coast Music Association Directors' Special Achievement Award (2001), induction into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame (2002), and induction into the Juno Hall of Fame (1993).
Anne Murray will tour to several U.S. cities in February and March 2008 (confirmed tour dates listed below). For updates and additional information, visit Anne Murray’s official Website: www.annemurray.com
In 2011, Billboard ranked her 10th on their list of the 50 Biggest Adult Contemporary Artists Ever, and on July 1, 2017, in celebration of Canada’s 150th Anniversary, the Toronto Sun listed Anne at #1 in Canada’s Top 160 Influences that helped define Canadian culture!
When I Fall in Love
Anne Murray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Oh, I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love with you
When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love
When I fall in love
When I fall in love with you
The song "I Just Fall in Love Again" by Anne Murray, released in 1978, talks about the experience of falling in love and the overwhelming feeling that comes with it. The singer, who seems to be in disbelief, wonders if it's a dream or if it's really happening, as the person they're in love with takes them in their arms. They feel as though their dream is coming true and they can't believe their luck.
The second verse speaks of the magic that the person they love seems to possess. The night seems to fly by when they're together, and the singer feels as though they're being taken to a star. The moment they look into their partner's eyes is like heaven to them, and they can't help but fall in love with them over and over again. The final line, "Can't help myself, I fall in love with you," drives home the idea that the singer is completely helpless when it comes to their love for this person and can't resist falling for them every time.
Overall, this song is a classic love ballad that captures the experience of falling in love so deeply that it feels like magic. The lyrics are simple yet effective, and the melody is beautiful, making it a timeless love song.
Line by Line Meaning
Dreamin', I must be dreamin'
I can hardly believe that I am lucky enough to be with you.
Or am I really lying here with you?
I am questioning if this moment is real, if you are really next to me.
Baby, you take me in your arms
When you hold me close, I feel a sense of safety, warmth, and affection.
And though I'm wide awake, I know my dream is comin' true
Even though I am not asleep, I feel like I am living out a dream come true.
And oh I just fall in love again
Every time I am with you, I feel like I am falling in love all over again.
Just one touch and then it happens every time
Your touch is so powerful that it makes me fall in love with you every time.
There I go by, just fall in love again and when I do
Just when I think my love for you couldn't get any stronger, I fall in love with you again.
I can't help myself, I fall in love with you
I am unable to control how much I love you and how much I am drawn to you.
Magic, it must be magic
The love that we share feels like it is beyond explanation or reason; it is like a magical force.
The way I hold you when the night just seems to fly
When we are together, time seems to stand still and the night seems to pass by quickly.
Easy for you to take me to a star
You have the ability to transport me to a place of happiness, wonder, and bliss.
Heaven is that moment when I look into your eyes.
When I gaze into your eyes, I feel like I am in heaven, encapsulated in a moment of pure love.

A rainy afternoon nowhere to go but stay put by the fireside with a glass of fifteen year Glenlivet. The crackling fire, good smooth scotch whiskey, and Anne Murray singing "When I Fall in Love" - this is a dangerous combination that could lead one into trouble. One of my favorites. Thanks for posting Sir. Your video adds to the beautiful song.
