"How Do I Live" is a song written by Diane Warren. It was originally performed by LeAnn Rimes from her album ''You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs'' in 1997 and later performed by Trisha Yearwood. Both versions were released on May 27, 1997. In the U.S., Rimes's version peaked at No. 2 for four non-consecutive weeks in late 1997 and early 1998, behind "Candle in the Wind 1997" by Elton John, and "Truly Madly Deeply" by Savage Garden. It set a record for staying on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart for 69 weeks, a record it held until "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz set a new record of 76 weeks. The Rimes recording also set the record for the most time in the ''Billboard'' Hot 100's top 10 at 32 consecutive weeks, and the record for ''Billboard'' Hot 100's top 40 at 62 consecutive weeks; both records still hold. It ranks at No. 4 on ''Billboard'' Despite only peaking as high as No. 7 in the UK Singles Chart, Rimes' version of "How Do I Live" spent 34 weeks on the chart, ending up as the 6th best selling single of 1998. As of August 2014, the song has sold 710,000 copies in the UK. "How Do I Live" was also covered by F.I.R. (Faye and Real featuring LeAnn Rimes). F.I.R. invited Rimes to record a portion of the song for their third album ''Flight Tribe'' in 2006. ==Background== The song was originally intended for release as a single for the 1997 action blockbuster ''Con Air'' soundtrack. According to LeAnn Rimes, Warren wrote the song for her to sing and promised it to Rimes "no matter what". Walt Disney Pictures ''(a.k.a. Walt Disney Studios/The Walt Disney Company)'', the parent company of Touchstone Pictures, initially chose Rimes' version but later found out it had too much pop feeling over it; and, because she was 14, it was believed that she was too young. Trisha Yearwood was chosen to re-record the song.〔''CMT Inside Fame: LeAnn Rimes'' CMT (2004-4-12) Retrieved 2011-10-8〕 Yearwood's version was released on May 27, 1997〔 to country radio and appeared in the film. According to Yearwood, she had no idea of Rimes' recording prior to being approached by Touchstone Pictures to do the song. When Wilbur Rimes (Leann's father and then manager) heard of the release, her version was quickly released to mainstream pop radio.〔 Neither Rimes' nor Yearwood's version of the song was included on the soundtrack for the film. The entire soundtrack is devoted to the score by Trevor Rabin and Mark Mancina. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「How Do I Live」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
