I cried Posted by: DrumCrzy13   Score: 5 Review posted: April 21st, 2003 @ 03:16 AM I absolutely love this song. I bought his CD as soon as it came out and I first listened to it while sitting in my dentist's chair. As soon as this song came on and I heard the first verses and the chorus, tears started streaming down my face. The song is so sad and Billy's voice and the music just totally evoke the perfect mood for the lyrics. My dentist totally freaked out because she thought she'd hurt me. And still, every time I hear this song, my eyes water. It makes me think of how stupid my worries and complaints are. My siblings are still alive and I'm healthy. I'm lucky. I'm so lucky for the things I take for granted. I love this song. Edited April 21st, 2003 @ 03:20 AM

If anyone has gone through a death of a family member or even a pet they can relate to this song. I know I did because the day my cat died I listened to this song and I cried.

Heartbreaking Posted by: youdontyouwont   Score: 5 Review posted: June 08th, 2003 @ 05:15 PM When one of our coaches at school died of a probable heart attack, this song immediately popped into my mind. It is undoubtedly the most emotional song on this entire album. The lyrics will bring tears to your eyes, and Billy's dramatically-charged voice fits it perfectly. Every time I listen to this, the next thing I realize is how blessed I am to be alive and well, because, for some people, it doesn't work out that way.

Simply breathtaking Posted by: swtsarah   Score: 5 Review posted: June 17th, 2003 @ 12:10 PM "It Happened Anyway" is, in all aspects, a powerful song, which manages to showcase his range to its fullest aptitude; the pure strength and unhearalded lustrous quality in his voice is apparent throughout - especially so when he drags out the lyrics "it happpppeeeeeeennneeddd anyway"! THIS song is what Billy is about. 2 thumbs up, and 5 stars for such a pleasing performance! Edited June 17th, 2003 @ 12:19 PM
