History YMMV / CollinRaye

** "Little Rock", for anyone who has seen alcoholism tear a family apart. The song's narrator is a recovering alcoholic who is proud of himself for recovering, but still saddened that his habit has driven him away from his lover. The music video takes it UpToEleven. In the song, he's singing only to his partner. In the video, he has both a wife and child, and he's repeating [[DomesticAbuse toxic patterns]] he learned from his own father. The bridge cuts between past and present, with the singer watching from the doorway as a small boy while his father screamed at his mother and destroyed things in a drunken rage. In the present, the singer is doing the same to his own wife, only to turn and see his young son standing in the doorway. His father beat him in the past for seeing too much, but in the present, he scoops up his own child and hugs him tight, shame written all over his face. It's implied to be his [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone epiphany]] that his drinking is destroying his family.

The bridge flashes back and forth between the singer's past and the present; the past shows his father berating his mother and destroying things while he watches from the doorway as a small boy. In the present, the singer is screaming at his wife and throwing things, and turns to find his own son watching from the doorway. In the past, it's implied his father beat him for seeing too much--just before that happens, it cuts to the present, where the singer scoops up his own child and hugs him tight, a recognition he needs to change and break the cycle of violence.

His [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realization]] that he needs to stop drinking comes when he spies his young son in the doorway, watching him scream at his wife and throw things. The scene flashes between the present and the singer's own childhood, where a similar scene played out. Just before the singer's father can beat him in the flashback, the present shows him scooping up his own child and hugging him tight, a recognition he needs to change before things get worse.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: ''Extremes'' is usually considered one of his best albums, due to containing much stronger songwriting and production than the first two. This improvement is defined in such hit singles as "That's My Story" and "My Kind of Girl", which proved that he had the grit for harder country-rock, along with the incredibly potent tale of a heartbroken recovering alcoholic in "Little Rock".

* CoveredUp: "I Think About You" was recorded by a little-known Christian country group called Wilcox & Pardoe around the same time as Raye's version.
