I've been listening to this song for ever . She is awesome . It's really how I feel right now my guy left me for my niece and he said he's sorry . Yeah the sorriest dude I know
Yep.for sure I went through hell with a man child I was so blind.and I heard this song about a month later.i lived this song word for word.now it's 2021 9yrs after that crap.i still stop and listen and it reminds me of how far I've come with him gone.praise god.he got married and divorced with who he cheated on me with.forgive and forget,RELIVE AND REGRET I keep those words in my mind...he held me down but I now know I let him.im now a business owner and would not be if I was with that scumbag.
She must have been horribly mis-managed. She was early twenties when this came out and how it didn't serve as a launching pad for a huge career is a mystery. What a freakin' voice!!
It is no mystery. What 12 year old (the target market for the exploitive music industry) has understood the feeling of being betrayed by their partner? The industry targets the young market like McDonalds does, so that they can be brainwashed into an ideology, and this song just doesn't fit with their $&!+ty ideologies.
She actually only sang this song to break into song writing, is the story I read. She never wanted to be an artist. She wanted to write but no one was picking up her stuff. Hopefully this helped her reach her dream.
i remember the day my girlfriend told me she cheated with her EX i lived in another state and i was preparing for a test i was in community college at the time i just stared at the screen for 20 minutes we made up and i married her but i still think about that day and I still feel it seven years later. " not all wounds heal sometime you cant see the pain someone feels"
It's not "powerful". It is evocative, a great insult, or a perfect description. "Powerful" would be "You know what they say, forgive and forget, relive and regret". The first does nothing to help you, her or anyone live their lives. It is a great dig at a person who's hurt you. The second is a map to move on.
Rebecca Lynn Howard may be the finest singer to ever come thru Nashville. Her tone is unique, her control is frightening and her range is chilling on both ends! What a shame we don't get to hear her everyday!
It's a shame radio didn't stick with this woman longer. This kind of searing emotional intensity - not to mention stingingly honest song material - can make country radio a heck of a lot more interesting.
I'm 30 now and I started to get into country big because of my Grandpa.. I remember listening to this and being so into this music when I was 12-18 or so. I still love the classics back to George Strait and I remember identifying so much with this song when my first love broke my heart. There really is nothing like country music. A good country song is timeless.
Rebecca Lynn, you should have gone to the top of the charts when this song was released. It touches so many people that have lived the lyrics in this song.
because the label didnt promote and the video sucks. and this is from someone who claims this song in one of her top 100 all time favorites. (I'm a 51yr music lover)
She is my cousin, she quit because she got so much money from her first album, she quit making the music. She is from kentucky, where most of my family comes from. She is beyond beautiful and talented. Hopefully one day she'll begin making music again.
Kylee Howard Wow Kylee, you should encourage her to go back to her music for her fans....I love this song....it speaks to me as I am sure that it does a lot of people.....take care Julie
Kylee Howard Wrong Wrong Wrong. She did not quit because she made lots of money. Far from it actually. She quit because the record label she was with went under. Same with the next two labels she used. She writes music for several artists these days, and sing at the Grand Ole Opry. She came out with a new album a year or two ago and sales weren't good. Yes she's from Kentucky, Salyersville ky to be exact. To be related to her I've never seen you at our family reunions. I however am related to her. I know her mother and father well. My mother went to school with hers. They grew up together. If you're going to spew crap at least make it halfway true damn.
When this song came out, my kids were babies. I have loved the song ever since. My baby boy would sing this at the top of his little lungs at 4 years old. Never, did I ever for one moment, think that I would live this song. 20 years later, and now, I just can’t forgive and it’s been 4 years ago. It’s like a nightmare I can’t wake up from. I thought I could forgive and I took him back. I made a mistake. I don’t know who I am anymore. Probably too much info, but I needed to spill my guts to someone.
I always loved your music Rebecca and miss you not singing. I love all your music but this was and still is my favorite.; I hope and pray life is treating you good!!!
It takes a lot to ask someone to forgive them. Pride usually causes us to blame rather than take responsibility. I liked the song because I have watched those who have been betrayed in this manner go through these same emotions. I only hope that her next song talks about how she was able to forgive, rather she took him back or not
michael taylor She’s touring all around the world with Steven Tyler in his LovingMary band singing duets with him and flying in private jets, so I think she did ok!!! She’s so happy!!! He got a gem & Nashville lost out!
I really thought she was gonna take over the country scene...nobody can sing better in todays country. As good maybe close, but not better. If they want to prove it then do this song better than her......can't do it. She is truly awesome.
I love this song I have no idea what happened to this woman she should have had a career in saying because she was outstanding I have no idea what happened to her
Love this song ❤ always have. I spent 12 years with someone that wanted constant forgiveness instead of I won't do it again.The best thing I ever did was be tough enough to leave with 3 kids with barely anything. I'm making it just fine and I won't forgive anymore!
Glad you left and are making it. Better to making it in your own with 3 kids then to stay. I stayed 11 years. Thankfully we had no kids. I was 17 when we got together and 28 when I left. Wasted years of my youth. Glad to say I am 50 with with a fun loving husband who has never once did me wrong and we have two beautiful girls.
Love this song still after all these years ! I Helped a lot whenever I found out my husband was cheating on me I cried with this song and it was just like the floor gates I went out from me
I sure do miss the 70s, 80s and 90s. The music🎺 today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
I agree with you @Jebescrust! She truly "DID NOT" get the recognition she deserved, and STILL deserves it! I love her voice! So very, very POWERFUL!!!!
This describes what happened to me perfectly. He came home and the first words out of his mouth was that he wanted a divorce but to stay together because his insurance wouldn't cover him being married. Talk about your heart being ripped out and stomped on....
I’ve never heard this song before.. She has such a beautiful and powerful voice. I wish she would be played more. I’m a fan just from this song. God Bless
"Forgive" by Rebecca Lynn Howard peaked at number 12 (for one week) on the BILLBOARD entertainment magazine Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. It was easily her biggest hit, and it spent a nice, lengthy total of thirty weeks on the chart, premiering in BILLBOARD the issue week ending Saturday, May 11, 2002.
I have to stop holding grudges and forgiveness Is the main thing . Also to Forgive myself let me know That i can move on in my Life and make good choices It takes courage and prayers. God bless whoever Has lost a spouse or loved one.
I need less animals, less responsibility, less commitment, less chaos, less confusion, less tears, less fears, less decisions, less demands, less pressure, less dissolution, less disappointments, less noise, less distractions, less well meaning advice, less judgements, less everyone knowing what's best for coleen. Less
I played this for my husband today. He'd said some quite harsh words about our relationship in front of our friends, and I still can't believe he feels that way. I haven't spoken to him yet, and I'm still deciding what to do. That line, It's too soon to forgive, is how I feel.
YES BECKY,YOUR VOICE MAN I STILL REMEBER U COMING UP TO THE LOG YARD WHEN YOU WAS LITTLE AND I AM PROUD TO BE FROM YOUR HOME TOWN..SALYERSVILLE,KY.ANTHONY
Rebecca, i dont know what he did to you. but you need to proceed with this. cause damn.. you're great, and i feel that you can make a change in the country music industry!!!... for sakes please!!!
Voice comparable to Martina or Trisha and other songs have that old time feel that we all miss. Hope she finds better management and makes a come back!
Yes what a frecking Voice 2024 - can't believe I'm the only one who loves this vocal, One of the most powerful.ever recorded to beautiful song lovely song love it sweet song I love that song so much I love Rebecca Lynn Howard so much she is so pretty and beautiful and gorgeous she has a beautiful.voice that is so lovely 💓💛❣️💝💗♥️🤩😘🎼🥰💕💖💞🧡💚😍❤️💙💐💯🌹💜🎸🎤🎵🎶💘💋
Just so everyone knows us 23 runs North and south in eastern ky and is known as the country music highway,amongst the singers that come from easern Kentucky are Billy Ray Cyrus,Tom T Hall,Crystal Gayle,Loretta Lynn,Keith Whitley,Dwight Yoakem,Ricky Skaggs,The Judds,Ralph Stanley,Patty Loveless
this song really hits home right now. I hate cheaters who take advantage of the love of somebody they are pretending to care about. these types of people are the lowest of the low, ruining every life they touch.
Knowing the little man (my cousin) this song is about she is better off with him, his a little boy. She is Awesome, what is it about the Hills of Eastern Kentucky that makes so many great Talented Artist.
It's a crime she's not a Superstar...
Who is listening to this in 2024
She wrote this song for Faith Hill but liked it so much, kept it for her own, so glad she did........
My favorite line is "Forgive and forget, relive and regret."
2023 - can't believe I'm the only one who loves this vocal. One of the most powerful ever recorded.
Amazing tune so real so powerful
100% agreed
Love it !

Facts!!
Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) loves Rebecca Lynn Howard. She would have a good theme.
I like this song. No one else?
“How am I suppose to leave, when I can't even move....” damn - all of these years and I still feel that.
Heather Raines,why do ya love Rebecca Lynn Howard singing this?

Forgive. That's a mighty big word for such a small man. Powerful!

yup, it's a gudin'
2022 baby.

This song isn't really a country song.
But I agree: RLH is a great singer.
2023
She has such a powerful voice. Beautiful voice, beautiful lady. I would easily rank her voice right there with Martina McBride
Been singing this song since 2002, I'm 30 now....
So much time has passed, and Rebecca, your voice is still ageless....WOW. thank you!
I'm 30 now and I started to get into country big because of my Grandpa.. I remember listening to this and being so into this music when I was 12-18 or so.

I love Rebecca Howard. This girl an sing.
Damn shes amazing that voice
Beautiful voice, beautiful song, beautiful woman. I wonder why we never heard more from her?
because the label didnt promote and the video sucks. and this is from someone who claims this song in one of her top 100 all time favorites. (I'm a 51yr music lover)
She’s still around

What a beautiful song and what a wonderful voice lot of meaning in that song
Rebecca is a greatly underrated singer.
yeah she is one hell of a song writer too, I was lucky enough to see her in concert years ago .
A great, unrelated singer....So true!

Adele is currently looking to broaden her knowledge of country music.
Well here is the artist she should look towards.
I'm so proud to be your cousin your amazing!! Love you!!
How does one of the best voices in Country Music get no radio play? This is the reason I cant stand most country radio today.
2022 I still use the one lyric “Forgive and Forget. Relive and Regret”
I met this woman and made her cry.
"That's a mighty big word for such a small man."

Great song Forgive

that house is KILLER! ....oh, and the song is nice too.
This song helped me during my divorce from an abusive cheater. It took over 10 years of PTSD and therapy to forgive. I couldn't have without God.
this song really hits home right now. I hate cheaters who take advantage of the love of somebody they are pretending to care about. these types of people are the lowest of the low, ruining every life they touch.
Kelly Plozai try a husband of 22 years that is a jerk
