Welcome to SIng It Live 'Wurlitzer Sessions' intimate performances of your favourite songs featuring the Wurlitzer 200A Suitcase Piano and the SIng It Live crew.
Recorded in the Sing It Live Basement Studio and produced by Darren Mullan
"How Do I Live" is a song written by Diane Warren. It was originally performed by American singer and actress LeAnn Rimes and was the first single from her second studio album, You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs (1997). It also appeared on international editions of her follow-up album Sittin' on Top of the World (1998). A second version was performed by American singer Trisha Yearwood, which was featured in the film Con Air. Both versions were released to radio on May 23, 1997.
Diane Warren wrote "How Do I Live" for consideration for the 1997 action blockbuster Con Air soundtrack. Walt Disney Pictures, the company behind the Touchstone Pictures label, requested that Rimes record the song. After hearing Rimes' recording, Disney executives decided that it lacked the maturity that they were looking for, deeming it "too pop-sounding". The company then turned to Trisha Yearwood to record a version of the song. According to Yearwood, she was unaware of Rimes' recording prior to being approached by Touchstone Pictures to record the song.
Yearwood's version, which utilized a more throaty, country-western vibe, appeared in the film. When Rimes's record label, Curb Records, heard of the release, they were reluctant to release her version until Warren called label founder Mike Curb and urged him to release the recording as a single; her version was then quickly released to mainstream pop radio on the same day as Yearwood's rendition. Neither version of the song was included on the soundtrack album for the film (which consists of the score by Trevor Rabin and Mark Mancina). Yearwood's version reached number two on the U.S. country singles chart and was internationally successful. It appeared on her first compilation album (Songbook) A Collection of Hits (1997). The album certified quadruple-platinum in the United States.
