Background and writingThe song is a ballad, penned, in part about Brooks' mother's death. He told Billboard magazine that the song is about lighthouses in his life. Brooks said, "that lighthouse is my mother, that lighthouse is also those people you played live to, that lighthouse is also the music because the music is like the air or the water, it simply is."[2] Music videoThe music video was co-directed by Gerry Wenner and Garth Brooks, and premiered on CMT on May 16, 2000. The video features clips from the movie Frequency, interwoven with Brooks singing against a black background, wearing all black, the view only being a face shot. The video begins and ends with a glow of light from a lighthouse panning out across the screen. Once in each end of the video a figure, presumably Garth, can be seen on the far right of the screen during one of the light movements.

Other versionsIn 2014, Steve Lawrence released a version of this song after watching the movie Frequency about three times on cable. While sitting in the audience at a Garth Brooks show in Las Vegas, Lawrence requested the song from the audience at the end of a show, but Brooks couldn't see who had requested the song due to the arena spotlights.[8][9] References
