From This Moment On (Shania Twain Song)
"From This Moment On" is a song by Canadian recording artist Shania Twain, taken from her third studio album, Come On Over (1997). The song was written by Twain, while additional production and songwriting was done by Robert John "Mutt" Lange. After finishing the track, both Twain and Lange concluded that the song would work best as a duet. Despite their first choice for the duet being Elton John, they chose country singer Bryan White instead, who took the opportunity. It was then released on March 14, 1998 in North America and Oceania. For the international release, White's vocals were replaced with the ones of Irish recording artist Ronan Keating.
"From This Moment On" is a country pop track which received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who deemed it as one of the album's highlights. The song achieved moderate commercial success, reaching the top ten in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and United States. It also charted in France, Netherlands, New Zealand, and Sweden, as well on several Billboard component charts. An accompanying music video was directed by Paul Boyd, which depicts Twain walking on a hallway until she's joined by an orchestra to perform the song. "From This Moment On" has been performed on every tour by Twain since its release.

Famous quotes containing the words moment and/or twain:
“In some withdrawn, unpublic mead
Let me sigh upon a reed,
Or in the woods, with leafy din,
Whisper the still evening in:
Some still work give me to do,—
Only—be it near to you!
For I’d rather be thy child
And pupil, in the forest wild,
Than be the king of men elsewhere,
And most sovereign slave of care:
To have one moment of thy dawn,
Than share the city’s year forlorn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Miss Watson she took me in the closet and prayed, but nothing come of it. She told me to pray every day, and whatever I asked for I would get it. But it warn’t so. I tried it. Once I got a fish-line, but no hooks. It warn’t any good to me without hooks.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
