"'When You Come Back to Me Again'" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Garth Brooks. The other writer on the song was Jenny Yates. The song was recorded for the movie 'Frequency'. It was then released in May 2000 as the lead single from the album, 'Scarecrow'. Trisha Yearwood, who later became Brooks' wife, provides harmony vocals. The song reached number 21 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts and peaked at number 23 on the Canadian 'RPM' Country Tracks chart. It was nominated for Best Original Song at the 58th Golden Globe Awards.

Background and writing



The song is a ballad, penned, in part about Brooks' mother's death. He told 'Billboard' magazine that the song is about lighthouses in his life. Brooks said, "that lighthouse is my mother, that lighthouse is also those people you played live to, that lighthouse is also the music because the music is like the air or the water, it simply is."'Billboard', November 3, 2001, Vol. 107, No. 24, Page 106.

Music video



The music video was co-directed by Gerry Wenner and Brooks and premiered in May 2000. The video was put together with clips from the film as well as Brooks singing the song against a black background, wearing all black (the view only being a face shot). The video begins and ends with a glow of light from a lighthouse panning out across the screen. Once in each end of the video a figure (presumably Garth) can be seen on the far right of the screen during one of the light movements.

Chart performance



"When You Come Back to Me Again" debuted at number 59 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the chart week of May 13, 2000.

Year-end charts



Other versions



In 2014, Steve Lawrence released a version of this song after watching the movie 'Frequency' about three times on cable. While sitting in the audience at a Garth Brooks show in Las Vegas, Lawrence requested the song from the audience at the end of a show, but Brooks couldn't see who had requested the song due to the arena spotlights.
