Country music superstar Reba McEntire's "Somehow You Do" music film takes us to Southern California and into the film 'Four Good Days'!
Country music entertainer Reba McEntire is giving fans their first taste of new music in two years with the release of “Somehow You Do”! The song was written by Diane Warren for the feature film Four Good Days and marks the third time Reba has collaborated with the award-winning songwriter following the success of “What If” in 1997 and “I’ll Be” in 2000.
This stunning video, which highlights Reba among a picturesque Southern California backdrop, was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon Avnet (Fried Green Tomatoes, Risky Business, Black Swan). Watch it below!
“Somehow You Do” is the featured track in the new motion picture Four Good Days, which opens in select theaters on April 30th. Directed by Rodrigo Garcia, the film stars Glenn Close and Mila Kunis.
“It’s an honor to get to sing a Diane Warren song anytime, but then to be associated with talented actors in a movie like Glenn and Mila is just icing on the cake,” says Reba. “Add in Jon Avnet directing the video and it just doesn’t get much better!”
“Reba’s interpretation of Diane Warren’s song was so nuanced and moving,” adds Jon. “When I was asked if I would direct the filming of it, I jumped at the opportunity. I hoped to use the film to interpret both the song and the movie ‘Four Good Days.’ It was worth every minute in the desert working with Reba. She’s a pro’s pro and fun to boot! And of course, this is my second go around with Diane Warren. The first was ‘Because You Loved Me,’ that Celine Dion sung for my film ‘Up Close and Personal.’ That one worked out well and I think ‘Somehow You Do’ should as well.”
“‘Somehow You Do’ is a song about hope, about how even through the times that are so hard and moments in your life that are so devastating, that somehow you will get through them and get to the other side,” shares Diane Warren. “It is a song about strength of the human spirit and no voice can convey that as much as Reba McEntire. She makes you feel with every note that you might think you can’t get through it, but somehow you will, and somehow you do.”
So you feel like you’ve run outta hope
Carrying all that weight
Your back’s about to break
And you’re standing at the end of your rope
You wanna give up the fight
You see no relief in sight
And it’s hard to keep the faith
But the darkest night still finds the day
When you think it’s the end of the road
It’s just ‘cuz you don’t know where the road’s leading to
When you think that the mountain’s too high
And the ocean’s too wide, you’ll never get through
Some way, somehow, somehow you do
So you feel like you’re right on the brink
Oh, you’re in the battle alone
And life’s punched a hole in your soul
Yeah, you’ve been brought to your knees
But there’s better days up ahead
You’ll be back on your feet again
And you’re gonna be ok
Oh, the darkest night will find the day
When you think it’s the end of the road
It’s just ‘cuz you don’t know where the road’s leading to
When you think that the mountain’s too high
And the ocean’s too wide
And you’ll never get through
Some way, somehow, somehow you do
‘Cuz it’s those times, it’s those times when times get bad
You’ll find the strength you didn’t know you even had
Somehow you’ll get through this
When you think it’s the end of the road
It’s just ‘cuz you don’t know where the road’s leading to
When you think that the mountain’s too high
And the ocean’s too wide
And you’ll never get through
Some way, somehow, somehow you do
Some way, somehow, somehow you do
