The Dance - Garth Brooks - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Garth Brooks has a deep catalog of chart-topping hits but "The Dance" is his personal favorite. The song, written by Tony Arata, explores the concept that it’s only by not knowing how things might turn out that we can open ourselves up to taking a chance on experiencing life. Brooks credits the double-header of "The Dance" followed by "Friends in Low Places" for his breakthrough as a country music superstar. He told Playboy magazine in a 1994 interview, "The Dance" will be the greatest success as a song we will ever do. I'll go to my grave with The Dance. It'll probably always be my favorite song." Songwriter Arata got his inspiration for the song from a scene in the film Peggy Sue Got Married when Kathleen Turner realizes she can’t alter a thing in her past without it affecting the rest of her life. "Our lives are better left to chance / I could have missed the pain / But I'd have had to miss the dance." The backing track for "The Dance" is available as an instrumental on Karaoke Version.
