Production[]
Two different versions of the song are placed onto the Brother Bear soundtrack. One is 4:18 minutes long and rock-driven, while the other is 2:37 minutes long and a more mellow keyboard-driven version.[1]
Scene[]
The scene where the song is heard is when Kenai remorsefully admits to Koda that he killed his mother when he was a human. Koda runs away, heartbroken by the loss of his mother.
International versions[]
The song was also performed by Phil Collins in various other languages besides English, namely German, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese.
Critical reception[]
GenesisNews said the song is a "compact...strong ballad" and reminiscent of older Phil Collins songs such as "I Wish It Would Rain Down" due to its "speed, harmonies and female backing vocals".[2] Allmusic deemed it "forgettable ".[3] Some critics were not fond of its use in the final film, as it drowned out the dialogue in what was supposed to be the movie's emotional highpoint.
