Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks Violin Solo - Digital Sheet Music

A tender love song by Garth Brooks scored for violin and piano. Key of G major."Unanswered Prayers" is is one of Garth Brooks' most popular recordings and was No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart in 1991. It was the second single released from his album "No Fences" and also appears on The Hits, The Limited Series, Double Live and The Ultimate Hits. According to Brooks, the song is based on a true story:"Pat Alger and I worked on this song quite a long time without a hook, without the line. We passed it by Larry Bastian and it was as if it was meant to be. Larry, his wife Myrna and I were taking a walk down 18th Avenue, and he looked at me and said, ‘Oh, that’s simple. This song should be called ‘Unanswered Prayers’ because some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.’ This is probably the truest song I have ever been involved with as a writer. This actually happened to my wife and me when we went back home to Oklahoma. Every time I sing this song, it teaches me the same lesson… happiness isn’t getting what you want, it is wanting what you’ve got."
