Petals
I've often wondered if there's
Ever been a perfect family
I've always longed for undividedness
And sought stability

A flower taught me how to pray
But as I grew, that flower changed
She started flailing in the wind
Like golden petals scattering

And I miss you dandelion
And even love you
And I wish there was a way
For me to trust you
But it hurts me every time
I try to touch you
But I miss you dandelion
And even love you

I gravitated towards a patriarch
So young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life
With a maze of misery

A boy and a girl befriended me
We're bonded through despondency
I stayed so long but finally
I fled to save my sanity

And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
And I hope you realize
I'll always love you
And although you're struggling
You will recover
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother

So many I considered
Closest to me
Turned on a dime and sold me
Out dutifully
Although that knife was chipping
Away at me
They turned their eyes away and
Went home to sleep ...

And I missed a lot of life
But I'II recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
Still I wish that you and I'd
Forgive each other
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
And really loved you

I really loved you -
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity -
And I found the strength
To break away
Fly...



This 1 and Close My Eyes r beautiful.

If you like this song you might find interesting the fact that her former hubby started out in the music business under a nickname "Valentine."

And I missed a lot of life
But I'II recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
Still I wish that you and I'd
Forgive each other
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
And really loved you

Is this the thread where I, as a gay guy, can claim Mariah Carey for my own, for my Gay Community, of which I am it's spokesperson, obviously?

Is it?



Anyways, what album is that on, Theo?

i seriously thought this was going to be a joke thread...

my bad.

sosgemini said:

it WAS a f*cken joke

Yeah, alot of hurt in that song.

I just noticed that "my lil' sis and lil' brotha" are Tommy's kids from his 1st marriage. They were her comfort in that big upstate NY mansion back then.

But true, the whole song is moslty about her sis Alison. She went through hell last year(I'm sure she still does now).

Might as well, if that's going 2 make U happy

"Slipping Away" is without a doubt my favourite track by her.

CHIC0 said:

Schmaltzy as it is, I think "Hero" is her best song.

Ironically, Mariah says she drew inspiration for her own song when she became exhausted in 2001.

"One Sweet Day" is my favorite Mariah Carey song...


Butterfly album

Petals by far

MikeMatronik said:

the b*tch has a song called Petals?

Why have I misread 'Mariah Carey' as 'Paul McCartney'?

sosgemini said:

She also has an album called Butterfly

tony23k said:

Oh, dear. One Sweet Day is on Daydream
and I don't like it that much. Or @ least not that per4mance
on the pic. Wanya's voice has a little xtra.

CHIC0 said:

I just heard it... it's gr8.

theodore said:

PricelessHo said:

Yup... Mariah

Babydubistzuschnell said:

AlexdeParis said:
