Patricia Lynn Yearwood was born in Monticello, Georgia to Jack and Gwen Yearwood, and developed her musical talent in Nashville, Tennessee, where she interned as a receptionist for the local company MTM Records.
Garth Brooks and Yearwood first met in October 1987 recording demos for songwriter Kent Blazy. The two immediately hit it off as friends, and pledged whoever made it big first would help the other out. When Garth landed a major tour in 1991, he brought Trisha along to open all of his shows. Even when they became two of the biggest country stars of the 1990s, they remained close friends.
Yearwood's self-titled debut album was released in 1991, and the lead single, "She's in Love with the Boy," went to the top of the country charts, making her an instant star. Yearwood secured similar success with the 1992 release of "Hearts in Armor", which featured the hit singles “Wrong Side of Memphis,” and “Woman Walk the Line”.
The title track of 1993's "The Song Remembers When" went to number two, and she followed it with a Christmas album, "The Sweetest Gift", in 1994; that year, she also won her first Grammy award. In 1995, Yearwood released her fourth studio album, "Thinkin' About You". The lead single, "XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country Chart, her first #1 since her debut single, followed by her third #1 single, "Thinkin' About You". Yearwood performed at the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
In 1997, Yearwood issued her first compilation, "(Songbook) A Collection of Hits", which became her first album to top the country charts and also reached the pop Top Five. She won a Best Female Country Vocal Performance Grammy for “How Do I Live”. Yearwood's two additional new singles from her Songbook album were major hits, "Perfect Love", which peaked at #1, and a duet with Brooks, "In Another's Eyes". Yearwood was also named "Top Female Vocalist" in 1997 by the Academy of Country Music and won the "Female Vocalist of the Year" award from the Country Music Association in 1997 and 1998.
In 1998, Yearwood won her third Grammy and released her next all-new album, "Where Your Road Leads". Yearwood was inducted into the famed and historic Grand Ole Opry in 1999, cementing her status as a true icon in country music. 2000's "Real Live Woman" was a more personal outing that reflected some of her heartbreak and turmoil caused by her divorce from her husband at the time. She released her eighth studio album in 2001, "Inside Out". The lead single, "I Would've Loved You Anyway" became a Top 5 Country hit, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Country Chart in 2001 and became her first Top 10 since 1999, and her last single to reach the Top 10 to date. Yearwood also played Lt. Cmdr. Teresa Coulter on the TV show JAG as a Navy coroner and forensic pathologist who aids JAG on several cases (seasons 3-7, 7 episodes).
After a three year hiatus from recording albums, Yearwood released her ninth studio album "Jasper County" in 2005. The album was a return to a more country sound than her last several studio recordings. The first single, "Georgia Rain," set the tone for the album, with Yearwood altering the lyrics to pay homage to her home, singing about "the Georgia rain on the Jasper County clay."
In late 2006, Yearwood announced she was parting ways with MCA Records. MCA then released a "Greatest Hits" CD on September 11, 2007. The album features two new songs, plus fifteen other tracks covering her career from 1991-2001. MCA also released "Love Songs" on January 15, 2008; an album made up of previously released tracks from her prior MCA albums. Yearwood's tenth album, "Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love", was released by independent Nashville label Big Machine Records in November 2007, and spawned 3 singles, with the title track peaking at #19 on the Billboard Country Chart.
Yearwood has won three Grammy Awards among several nominations. She has also won the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music awards for Best Female Performer (CMA: 1997, 1998; ACM: 1997).
She married her first husband, Christopher Latham, in 1987 but the two divorced in 1991. Trisha married Robert Reynolds, the bass player for The Mavericks, on May 21, 1994, and they divorced in 1999.
On May 25, 2005, Yearwood became engaged to fellow country superstar and longtime friend Garth Brooks in front of 7,000 fans. On December 10, 2005, they were married in a private ceremony at the couple's home in Owasso, Oklahoma. It was Brooks' second marriage and Yearwood's third. Brooks has three daughters from his first marriage--Taylor, August, and Allie.
Trisha hit the country charts in 2006 with a duet with her husband called "Love Will Always Win". It was the fifth duet the couple has recorded; the others were "In Another's Eyes," "Where Your Road Leads," "Wild as the Wind," and "Squeeze Me In."
Yearwood lives on a ranch in Owasso, Oklahoma with husband Brooks and his three daughters. When she's not touring, she enjoys cooking, hiking, and reading. In April 2008, she released a cookbook entitled "Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen".

Something So Right
Trisha Yearwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the fever runs high
You've got the look of love light in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
'Til you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
I'm the first to admit it
First to admit it
Last one to know
Something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me
It's such an unusual sight
Oh, I can't, can't get used to something so right
Something so right
They've got a wall in China
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
I've got a wall around me
That you can't even see
It took a little time
To get next to me
Something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
First to admit it
Last one to know
Something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me
It's such an unusual sight
Oh, I swear, I can't get used to something so right
Something so right
Some people never say the words "I love you"
It's not their style to be so bold
Some people never say those words "I love you"
Like a child they're longing to be told
Something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
First to admit it
Last one to know
Something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me
'cause it's such an unusual sight
I swear I can't, can't get used to something so right
Something so right
Trisha Yearwood’s “Something So Right” speaks to the power of love in calming one’s life, how it can unite people even when they might stand miles apart, and how it can confuse and disrupt the order of one’s life. The lyrics describe someone who has found love and appreciation from another, someone who has a presence that is soothing to the soul, in contrast to the chaos that can often consume people. The opening lines, “You've got the cool water, when the fever runs high. You've got the look of love light in your eyes”, create an image of a person who can bring clarity and relief to someone who might be in distress. Such an individual can make a world of difference in someone’s life, which is portrayed by the lines, “It took a little time, but you calmed me down”.
The second verse alludes to the great wall of China, which was built to keep out invaders. In contrast, there is an invisible wall around the person in the song who was not easily approachable until the right person came along. This theme of finding the right person to break down personal walls is continued throughout the lyrics. The final verse addresses people who may struggle with saying “I love you” and the importance of communication in a loving relationship. The chorus repeats in which the singer acknowledges that while they had been quick to admit when things were not right, they now struggle to adjust to “something so right.”

You've got the cool water
When the fever runs high
Your presence is what I need when I'm in distress
You've got the look of love light in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
'Til you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
Your love has a soothing effect on me, and it took some time, but finally, you were able to calm me down
Something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
First to admit it
Last one to know
I tend to blame myself first when things go wrong, and yet, I'm usually the last one to realize what's happening
Something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me
It's such an unusual sight
Oh, I can't, can't get used to something so right
Something so right
When things go right, I tend to get lost and confused because it's such a rare occurrence for me to have something so good
They've got a wall in China
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
I've got a wall around me
That you can't even see
It took a little time
To get next to me
Just like the wall in China, I have erected walls around me that are hard to penetrate, but it took some time for you to gain access to my inner self
Some people never say the words "I love you"
It's not their style to be so bold
Some people never say those words "I love you"
Like a child they're longing to be told
Some people struggle to express their love verbally, and they crave to hear it from others out loud

Its hard to top the Paul Simon version, but this is pretty good. As is the Annie Lennox version. All 3 better than the Barbra Streisand version.
