Shania Twain Album Series - Queen Of Me (Revealing)

[schnetzka]

Take a sеven fourty-seven up in thе sky
To be somewhere, let it be paradise
You can end up on a roof of your local bar
Cover band, do your dance, playin' air guitar
You can live it all out if you feel the need
Crack a beer, shed a tear for your favorite team
Let your hair down, let you wild out
Everybody needs night like this (Uh)

Kanenrá:ke is our first person to lose their #1 with "Inhale/Exhale AIR" featuring Breland. I do not revisit this version that often mainly because I am not a fan of adding an artist to an already released song (but that is probably just a me thing).

I will talk about it more for the original version of the song but I like how Shania made a song reflecting on the bubbly side of life. Colbie Caillat must be proud .

I will be taking a quick break and will reveal a few more in less than a hour from now.

[austin]

I really like this song, and I felt like BRELAND's verse actually elevated it and is better than Shania's original one. I wish this had done better, I think its fantastic and is something that would have been right at home on Up!.

I hear it as:

You can air it all out if you feel the need
Crack a beer, shout a cheer for your favorite team
Let your hair down, get your wild out

[schnetzka]

When will I learn the hardest stone to turn is the heart?
Oh, how will I know it's time to let go
When the world won't stop moving? I'm losing my hold
I thought I would change, then I woke up dazed in the dark
Oh, when will I learn the hardеst stone to turn is the heart?

NOW WHY WAS THIS RANKED SO LOW. It is very much in the realm of Twenty-One Pilots songs because of Tyler but I think it works. Once again, Shania stepped out of her comfort zone and I commend her for it.

Now, do not feel like you are on the verge of leaving just yet. We've got at least two more reveals tonight!

[schnetzka]

Bone dry, been surfing (Surfing high, above the ageless)
Above the ageless (Frozen in time, all the faces)
Frozen in time (Faces come by)
All the faces (Motionless eyes)
Motionless eyеs (Colors fading, too much sunshine)
Colors fading (so much blue sky, bone dry)
Too much sunshinе
So much blue sky
And I'm bone dry

I immediately gravitated toward this song upon its release. For some reason, it reminds me so much of "Don't!" which I will say did not get its flowers like it should have. Her voice is definitely altered in a strange way on the track but it does not bother me too much.

Now, in true Britney Spears fashion - 1, 2, ...

[schnetzka]

The two of us, on three
The count's on you, you count on me
Let's plan not to land
And get lost somewhere in between
The earth and sky, we'll just fly
The two of us, on three (Jump!)

I am honestly surprised at the lower ranking of this one. It is one of the most country songs on the album which I know people were asking for so it is genuinely shocking to me that is not higher.

That will do it for tonight. I will reveal probably another five tomorrow. It will also give participants time to catch up because so far only austin has seemingly been here lol.

[.indulgecountry]

This is off to a good start. I got a perfect ranking on the first three to go, and that's kinda why I didn't think it was necessary to include them as separate entries for this since they clearly all got stuck to the bottom anyway, lol.

One of them had a #1 ranking so I'll take that as a reason that I made the right choice to separate them lmao.

It would've performed a lot better in the RD for them if the person who ranked it #1 did so based on that version they like and the rest of us ranked it based off the other version that we prefer. 🤷

Not that it matters tho. I'm amused I got three perfect rankings to start out as the alternate versions went out in the exact order of uselessness that I felt they offered.

[codyj100]

I’m not at all shocked by the Giddy Up! remix being out first, but I was SHOCKED to see The Hardest Stone so low. It’s not a consistent top favorite, but it’s nice to see Shania experiment. Plus, she has been teasing this song ever since she mentioned it for the first time on her radio show in early 2021 (don’t quote me on the exact time). I was as excited for The Hardest Stone as I was for Wanted Man.

Not surprised to see “On Three” out already. While it is one of my absolute favorites, given the release strategy for this album, I can see why it’s so low. I think had it been included on the original version, it MIGHT be higher on the list for the average person.

[SHOOTER]

Even though I ranked it outside my top-10, I pretty much enjoy the entire album and I agree that The Hardest Stone was a fun change of pace for her.

[schnetzka]

If I read your rule book right
I'd be home alone tonight
While you're out there having fun
Rubbing up against someone else

I'd be curled up in your chair
Waiting for you with my hair
All laid pretty down my back
Like a statue sittin' on a shelf

"Done & Dusted" reached #13 in the rankdown. It is one of my least favorite songs from the album but I do like the country influence of it. Do not think it really fits with the rest of the album though.

Our next reveal is something I only have online...

[schnetzka]

When you forget where you belong
I put on my favorite song to remind you
You're my best friend, that's who you are
You're my best friend, that's who you are
Just remember who you got
When you feel a little lost, I'll find you
I'll remind you that's who you are
You're my best friend, that's who you are

When she first revealed the title of this track, I was hoping she would drag her ex-best friend through the mud for cheating with Shania's husband but it is a cute song nonetheless. You all know my dislike of short songs though - like c'mon now.

The next reveal features a word in the title that has been commonly used in other titles throughout Shania's career...

[schnetzka]

I've got it good
Better than I thought I ever would
'Cause you gave me love
When I wasn't feelin' strong enough

"I'm Gonna Getcha Good", "Life's About to Get Good", "Got It Good" - must be one of Shania's favorite words lol. I found the song too repetitive but I still like it overall.

I am going to take a couple hour break to let everyone catch up.

[codyj100]

Genuinely surprised that “Best Friend” is so low on this list (and out before “Brand New”)!!!

[schnetzka]

Turn the light on
And you're gonna see someone
That's gonna be somebody someday
Invisible lines
All the cynical minds
Think I don't know what to think or to say

Our compilation album and documentary namesake ducks out at #10. I am going to be honest and admit for the longest time, I couldn't tell if she said "cynical minds" or "simple minds" in the first verse. Still not entirely sure because the lyric booklet has multiple errors.

Our new reveal will be the last one for the evening and it will be here before you know it...

[schnetzka]

It's too late to sleep now
The valley's wide awake
The early train is pullin' out
Too wired to come down
It's the last day of summer
And the first kiss on my lover's mouth

"Last Day of Summer" reminds me too much of Now. And while I enjoy that album, I do not really need any more of it. I love how her voice elevates toward the end of the song though.

That will be it for tonight to allow time for people to catch up. I plan on revealing the remaining eight tomorrow afternoon into evening so stick around!

[.indulgecountry]

"Last Day of Summmer" is easily my least favorite track from the album. It's just so blah and doesn't even feel like it fits its title. It's the same kind of wtf as when I first heard "More Fun" from Now and realized it sounded more like a funeral dirge. 💀 That said, "Summer" is head and shoulders above that one at least. It's very skippable to me tho.

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

Last Day Of Summer overstayed. The song makes me feel lazy and sounds kinda depressing for some reasons. 

[schnetzka]

Number one, you're so light, you're so fun
You’re so warm like the sun, like the sun
The world goes away every time that you lay
In my arms and you're sayin' my name

Late nights, lyin' in my bed
Angels flowin' 'round my head
Your fingers goin' down my back, down my back
Each timе you wake up beside mе
I'm feelin’ oh-so-high
Oh, you’re my number one love

I will not accept any slander for this song. I love how Eja continued the musical tradition in the family and the beat is so good. I know most people wanted a more country-influenced album but this is what makes Shania so great to me because she constantly does other genres wonderfully too.

Speaking of NUMBER ONE, there are two songs remaining with no number 1s - including this next reveal.
