Room To Breathe takes on back-to-back losses to kick off our reveals, just like last night heading into the top 20. "Once You've Learned To Be Lonely" is a really pretty song, but tbh I am a bit surprised to see it in the top 15. It feels to me like a song that might bore people a little more than other songs in this list. Where this song got a lot of strength, however, was its relatively low polarization, which helped it to hang out right around the cusp of the top 15 for most of the submission process.
With this loss, "Moving Oleta" is now the final song left on the RTB album. How much longer will it last?!

"Livin' Ain't Killed Me Yet" leaves us at #14. This fun rocker derives a lot of its groovy charm from her "Turn On The Radio" days, and imo should have been a hit in its own right. This melody is pure ear candy, and Reba delivers it with a sassy spunk that defies her age (seriously, how does she hit so many D5s over and over for the entire song at her age?!)
This one was very consistent in this rankdown as it was pretty much always a top 15 contender but not a top 10. The 12-15 range was pretty much its home.

Oh look!!! It is our very first loss from the Stronger Than The Truth album!!!!! We always seem to talk about this album on Pulse like it is her best album in years, and our rankings of those songs in this rankdown are very consistent with that sentiment. It is so incredible to me that all 5 songs were able to last this long, but I am not disappointed ![:love:](http://i.imgur.com/2smy76v.gif) "Cactus In A Coffee Can" is perhaps the biggest lyrical force in this rankdown, rivaled by maybe only "Moving Oleta" or "Maggie Creek Road". The story of the narrator meeting a girl on a plane, and that girl regaling her with the stories of her strained relationship with her mom, etc. It's one of those songs you have to just sit back and take it all in, because describing it never quite does justice. How do you put words to the shock you feel the first time that chorus kicks off with "My momma's first love was crack. She made her living lying on her back. And she gave me away on the day that I was born"? Or the chills you feel when you hear, "We had two weeks together to laugh and to cry. Two weeks to say hello and goodbye" and then you realize that the mom died literally right after they repair their relationship? Ugh, I'm actually tearing up a little just thinking about it.

Right on the heels of one shocking song, it is time for us to say goodbye to perhaps the other most shocking song in this rankdown. "Moving Oleta" tells the tragic tale of an old man watching his wife deteriorate from dementia or Alzheimers in a nursing home while he tries his best to go on with his life and keep taking care of her however he can. Imo, this is the saddest song in this rankdown. SOOOO many lyrics that I cannot get enough of...
-"She don't know where she is, but she knows this isn't home." -"The nurses saw an old woman crying, but he saw the love of his life." -"Only God and a couple of nurses help the old man shoulder the load. Love is a hard, hard road." -"He cursed his body, old and weak. Tears of failure burned his cheek, and he said, "Oh, don't you know I prayed to die before this day?" -"She can't recall his name, and she's the only love he's known."
And perhaps my favorite lyric of all time, "There's a shadow much darker than the valley of death when you fear the Reaper might not come today." Nothing in this entire world has given me more chills over the course of my life than that lyric...
I was hoping like hell that this would be a top 10 contender, but alas it was never quite able to get there. It set up an impressive consistency at #12 though, so this seems to be just about where it was destined to finish!!

Still reeling from its first loss, the Stronger Than The Truth album gears up to lose another one just before the top 10. "Storm In A Shot Glass" is a bit of a fan favorite from that album, but tbhI am happy to see it miss the top 10. For the most part we nailed the selections from this album, but this is the one exception. I would have much rather seen "In His Mind" make this rankdown!!!!

I’m PISSED!!! “Storm In A Shot Glass” should’ve been the single. It was the best song on that album for radio. “Cactus In The Coffee Can” was the 2nd best song. They were the 2 strongest songs on the album. WTF!!
At least 1 should’ve made Top 10 if not Top 5! “The Clown” SHOULD NOT be above these songs!

Other than "The Bridge You Burn," what a strong top 10~! I wasn't expecting it when most of my favorites got slaughtered early. ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif) I would've exchanged "Storm in Shot Glass" with "Tammy Wynette Kind of Pain," but "The Clown" and "Stronger Than the Truth" >> the rest from that album here.

It's gotta be in the Top 10 or so of my all time favorite songs from any genre.

The title track to Reba's newest album is so well-loved that it was never not a top 10 contender here! A few lower ranks from the likes of Cody Wants Out... and .indulgecountry helped push it to the back half of the top 10, and made it need to fight to keep hanging on. This song is a perfect companion piece lyrically to her 1990 hit "Rumor Has It". I love the lyrics to this one! Her vocals are also really strong and convincing in their maturity. Very good song!

I’m just happy to see that not only did “Stronger Than the Truth” manage to make it into the top ten, but that three of the songs from the album did. It just speaks volume to the strength of the record overall and I have to say it was the album that really invigorated me as a fan.

"The Clown" is a good song but for me just doesn't hold a candle to most of this list, hence my #30 rank.

Stronger Than The Truth suffers its 3rd consecutive loss, meaning it is now down to 1 remaining track just inside the top 10 despite all of its songs making the top 15. This song seems to have a few haters, but apparently they are just the very loud minority! I have always loved this one, with the jaunty piano and the artful lyrics. I have said before what an artistic statement I consider this song to be, so I won't rehash it all here. But basically I am thrilled to see this one make the top 10!!! I was not expecting that! As surprised as most of us probably are to see this in the top 10, it was honestly rarely not a top 10 contender. The lowest it fell was #11 a couple of times, but otherwise it was poised to finish right about where it did. Not too bad for a song that struggled to make the top 5 album tracks from its parent album! Apparently it had an easier time fighting the songs from her other albums than it did the other songs from its own album ![:giggle:](//storage.proboards.com/1258812/images/KYziZwTotWGtjvzyvGqr.gif)
