Rimes emerged with her first single, "Blue," when she was just thirteen years old in 1996. She is most recognized for her crossover hit "How Do I Live" which, according to the Billboard charts, is one of the most successful songs in American music history, spending 69 weeks on the Hot 100 chart, which currently stands as the second longest run in the chart's history (behind Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours"). While country singer Trisha Yearwood's version of the song won a Grammy in 1998, Rimes' version outsold Yearwood's by millions of copies. Rimes' other notable songs include "Can't Fight the Moonlight" and "You're the right kind of wrong" (from the movie Coyote Ugly) and American Idol favorite "I Need You."
She has won an American Music Award, two Grammy Awards, three Academy of Country Music Awards, and four Billboard Music Awards.
Rimes was chosen to sing the theme song "Light the Fire Within" for the February 8, 2002, Opening Ceremony of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
On February 23, 2002, she married Dean Sheremet, a dancer whom she met while recording Twisted Angel. They currently live in Nashville, Tennessee.
In 2005, LeAnn was selected to become the new host of the USA Network reality tv series Nashville Star, a position she held for only one season. She also was selected to sing "Remember When," the official song for Disneyland's 50th anniversary celebration.
On January 25, 2005, Rimes released a new album called This Woman. Although it has been met with mixed reviews, This Woman is a comeback of sorts for Rimes. With sales over 600,000, this is Rimes best-selling album since her self-titled album in 1999. In terms of the singles released, this is her most successful album since her debut nearly 10 years ago. "Nothin' 'Bout Love Makes Sense" reached the Top 5 and became her biggest years on the country charts in years. "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way," a song about a woman trying to get over a lost love, was released as a single. The video for "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" was very dark, and the song was received well in the country music world. When "Something's Gotta Give" reached the #2 spot in June 2006, it became her biggest country hit since "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)", her sole number one hit 10 years ago.
Rimes co-wrote four songs off This Woman: "Something's Gotta Give," "I Got It Bad," "When This Woman Loves a Man," and "Afraid to Fall."
"I Got it Bad" was co-written with her husband Dean Sheremet.
On Saturday, September 3, 2005, Rimes performed a concert, on a three-hour special on Larry King Live, as a benefit for those affected in the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina. As a Mississippian, she said that Hurricane Katrina "hit close to home." Just days before the hurricane, she had performed in Biloxi, Mississippi.
On January 4, 2006, Rimes performed the National Anthem before the Rose Bowl championship game between the USC Trojans and the Texas Longhorns in Pasadena, California.
On June 6, 2006, LeAnn released a new album in Europe called Whatever We Wanna.
The new album presents a pop-oriented sound; the first single released was "And It Feels Like." The album did not receive a US release.
In March 2009, LeAnn became the first country crossover artist to top the Billboard Club Play list when remixes for "What I Cannot Change" topped this dance chart. Prior to LeAnn's accomplishment, the highest charting song by a country artist on this dance survey had been the #2 peak of Reba McEntire's remixed remake of "You Keep Me Hangin' On."
Where I Stood
LeAnn Rimes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none
There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside
'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do
'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood
The lyrics to LeAnn Rimes's song "Where I Stood" describe a woman's struggle in leaving a relationship she knows is unhealthy but still has feelings for. She starts by admitting that she doesn't know what she's done, but something tells her to leave. Despite her feelings for her partner, she knows that it's all or nothing for her and that she must leave to protect herself from getting too emotionally invested.
The second verse reveals that the woman once believed love was black and white, but now she realizes it's more complicated. She acknowledges that she's torn and that her partner won't let her leave without a fight. However, she knows that this is the right decision for her, even if it's painful. The song's chorus repeats the idea that she doesn't know who she is without her partner, but she knows she must leave. She believes that the new woman her partner is with will love him more than she could, and she gives her blessing to the new relationship.
The last verse is a bit of a resolution. The woman acknowledges that her partner meant a lot to her, but ultimately, he showed her how to trust herself. She promises to stay nearby if he needs her but knows that leaving is the right decision for her. The song's title refers to the new woman who has taken her place and is daring to stand in the position she once held.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know what I've done
I'm uncertain of my actions
Or if I like what I've begun
I'm unsure if I'm comfortable with what I've started
But something told me to run
I had a feeling to escape
And honey you know me it's all or none
You know that I'm believing in the extreme either all or nothing
There were sounds in my head
There were thoughts and voices in my mind
Little voices whispering
Small voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Voices suggested to move on and call it off
Oh and I found myself listening
I found myself paying attention to the voices
'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
I don't know my identity without you
All I know is that I should
All I know is that it's appropriate to end things
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
I don't think I could handle someone else touching you
She who dares to stand where I stood
Another person who would take my place and stay with you
See I thought love was black and white
I thought love was very obvious
That it was wrong or it was right
That one's actions in love are either good or bad
But you ain't leaving without a fight
You are not leaving very easily
And I think I am just as torn inside
I feel equally shattered on the inside too
And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
I'll still be somewhat close if you call me
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
You were more important to me than anyone else I've ever loved
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
You had taught me self-assurance and hence I say to you
This is what I have to do
Ending things is what I have to do
'Cause she will love you more than I could
Because another person would love you more
Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood
The person who could replace me and be with you where I stood
