I'm thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
Cause I'm drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side
I've been wanting to post something for the past week, but my mind wasn't working on music mode due to music. But since I've given the canary off for the past couple of days, my mind is back to working in its normal capacity (whatever that may happen to be...lol). This is one of my...no scratch that....this is my FAVORITE song by Mariah. The one where I could feel the emotion pouring from her soul.
This song came from her Butterfly CD, circa 1997....right after the nasty divorce from Tommy Mattola of Sony Entertainment. Many people wondered how she was going to fair after that, being as though he was the one who really brought her into the game, but Mimi wanted to let the world (especially him) know that she wasn't going anywhere and she was gonna make it to the top...with or without him.
I thought about this song about reading blog postings earlier about love and intimacy...and both of them prompted me to think of this song. I don't know why, but I think that this song is the epitome of what REAL love and intimacy should be comprised of. Mariah is singing about a man that she loves SO much, that she'd be happy with just ONE night alone with him to show her love for him. That's some serious love to me. One day...just one day.
I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine.
Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all,
for your love
tonight
This is the Mimi that I know and loved...not this madness that she's turned into.
Just as a bonus...this is another one of my favorites from Meems.
Enjoy!

I love this...but then again I love you. No surprise there.
ReplyDeleteBreak down is one of my favorite songs by her...
ReplyDelete"so what do you do when, someone you're so devoted to suddenly stops loving you, and it seems they haven't got a clue, of the pain that rejection is putting you through"
Now those my dear are lyrics...
My favorite Mariah Song is "Without You" from the Music Box cd. powerful lyrics and vocals. I loved The Emancipation of Mimi surprisingly--great comeback effort, but she's a joke now. Her best music is from the early to mid 90s.
ReplyDeleteCryssy, I'ma have to go back and revisit that, because I started to hate it when the radio wore it out (like they do every other single that's worth anything).
ReplyDeleteReecie, I got into Emancipation more than I expected to as well...and I like many others, thought she was done after she went crazy.
Breakdown is by far my favorite Mariah song. And, for the record, I think that people sleep on how great of a songwriter she is, particularly back in the day.
