She is the daughter of Fred Carter, Jr. She is known for performing barefoot, saying that it helps her relax enough to sing.
Award-winning singer/songwriter/performer Deana Carter unveils The Chain, her fifth studio record October 9th on Vanguard Records.
Each of the 12 songs on The Chain has a special importance to Deana, who personally chose material that had a great impact on her early life. She took the same care in recruiting collaborators for the project, assembling a group of musicians who influenced her as an artist -- none more greatly than her father, legendary session player Fred Carter, Jr, who performs throughout the album. “Ever since I knew that music was going to be my life’s path, I’ve wanted to pay tribute to my dad and to the artists who were so good to me and my family. The camaraderie between them, and the way they took our family and made it part of their families, was so unique that I wanted to recapture it for a little while,” states Deana.
The Chain features duets with Deana and some of country music’s royalty: Kris Kristofferson (Help Me Make It Through The Night), Dolly Parton (Love Is Like A Butterfly), Jessi Colter (I’m Not Lisa), Willie Nelson (On The Road Again), George Jones (He Thinks I Still Care) and John Anderson (Swingin’). The CD also includes two of music’s rising stars, Shooter Jennings on “Good Hearted Woman”, the song made famous by his father, the great Waylon Jennings, and Harper Simon on “The Boxer,” a nod to his dad, Paul Simon who plays guitar on this track. The Chain also features stunning solo recordings of Deana performing such classics as “Lay Lady Lay”, “The Weight”, “Crying” and “Old Man”.
Produced and arranged by Deana Carter, The Chain is a musical feast and celebration of one’s past and influences.
A multi-platinum recording artist, Deana Carter burst into the music scene with the blockbuster album Did I Shave My Legs for This? (1996) that produced four No. 1 hit singles. Her additional releases included Everything’s Gonna Be Alright, Father Christmas, I’m Just A Girl, Greatest Hits and The Story Of My Life. She has performed on countless television shows and network specials and yielded a Golden Globe and Grammy nomination for the song Once Upon A December from the animated film Anastasia.
Deana is based in Los Angeles where she resides with her son, Gray Hayes. She is a spokesperson for the National Kidney Foundation.
There's No Limit
Deana Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I'll walk it
If it's a mountain high
Baby I'll cross it
If it's a deep blue sky
You know I'll jump out in it
There's nothing I would not do for you
There's no limit
If you want my heart
You can have it
If you want my soul
You gotta grab it
If you want my love
Then baby come and get it
There's nothing I would not do for you
There's no limit
Let's pack that pony up and say goodbye to Hollywood
Climb into the back and just get on with feeling good
Let's pack that pony up and bid goodbye to Hollywood
Slide into the back there's nothing wrong with feeling good,
Feelin' good
If it's a beat up heart
I'll mend it
If it's a broken smile
I'll bend it
If it's a barbed wire fence
You know I'll take my chances
There's nothing I would not do,
'Cause honey you're living proof
There's no limit, mm hm
If it's a long long road
You can have it
If it's a mountain high
You gotta grab it
If it's a deep blue sky
Take your chances (there's no limit)
Oh oh oh
If it's a long long road
There's no limit (there's no limit)
There's no limit
There's no limit
There's no limit
In Deana Carter's song "There's No Limit," she expresses her unwavering love and dedication to her partner. She promises to always be there for them, no matter what obstacles they may face. If it's a long road, she'll walk it. If it's a mountain to climb, she'll cross it. If it requires taking risks, she's ready to jump right in. She emphasizes that there's no limit to what she would do for the one she loves.
The 'pack up that pony' verse illustrates the idea of a couple who has decided to leave everything behind to start anew. They are leaving the glamour of Hollywood behind and focusing on themselves and their love. It's all about letting go of their past and embracing the future together. The final verse re-emphasizes the idea that there's nothing she wouldn't do for her partner, even if it means mending a broken heart or taking a chance on a barbed wire fence.
