The Sheryl Crow music video for "The First Cut Is the Deepest" was directed by Wayne Isham. Filmed in southern Utah, the video features Sheryl in a rocky desert singing with her guitar, riding horses and interacting in a cowboy environment.[42] Sheryl's single was nominated for a Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards,[43] losing to "Sunrise" by Norah Jones.
Notes
Sheryl Crow's version of "The First Cut Is the Deepest", inspired by Rod Stewart's version, is the first single released from her 2003 compilation album The Very Best of Sheryl Crow. It became one of Crow's biggest radio hits, peaking at No. 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and becoming her first solo top-40 country hit following the success of her duet with Kid Rock, "Picture".[41] The song stayed on the Hot 100 for 36 weeks and became a gold seller, also reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary, Adult Top 40, and Triple-A charts. Internationally, it was a top-20 success in Hungary, Ireland and New Zealand.
I would've given you all of my heart But there's someone who's torn it apart And he's taken just all that I have But if you want, I'll try to love again Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know The first cut is the deepest Baby, I know The first cut is the deepest But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst I still want you by my side Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried And I'm sure gonna give you a try If you want, I'll try to love again, try Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know, oh The first cut is the deepest Baby, I know The first cut is the deepest But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed And when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst I still want you by my side Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried But I'm sure gonna give you a try 'Cause if you want, I'll try to love again (Try to love again, try to love again) Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know Oh-oh The first cut is the deepest Baby, I know The first cut is the deepest When it comes to being lucky, he's cursed And when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst Oh, the first cut is the deepest Baby, I know The first cut is the deepest Try to love again
