lyrics:
I see fields of golden flowers
Shine in the evening sun
Above are misty mountains
It's so beautiful
As the wind caresses my eyes
Gazing gently at the sky
The moon inside a halo
It's so beautiful


.

There's a dark and lovely forest
In the place where I was born
There's a farmer walking down the trail
It's so beautiful
I hear the sound of birds sing
And the echo of a bell
Every tree is wrapped in moonlight
It's so beautiful

[Humming]

When I think of all the beauty
That nature gives to me
From the flowers to the mountains
It's so beautiful
There's a glory and a wonder
Far wider than the sea
I say yes to all this loveliness
It's so beautiful

What a shame to waste such a great voice on such a shitty song.

But that pretty much describes Mariah's output since 1997.

Mariah should be crowned Queen Of Muzak.

Leave Twink alone ya'll, he's cool(Hi Twink )

I haven't lisntened to it yet,,,I'm at work right now so I can't downloud it.

Can you review it to me?

Harlepolis said:

Twinkling piano, a too-simple-for-words melody, lyrics that sound like they were written by a 13-year-old girl and Mariah using her "whisper" voice a lot.

BTW if you just go to the site you can click "play" near the bottom right corner and hear it - you don't have to download anything.

I love Mariah, but I don't like her "whisper" voice as much as her "canine call" register, or more energetic fortissimo, ykno? Hook the girl up with some challenging melodies.
I realize "Misty Moon" is a traditional song... recorded for a jingle... but it's a good example of what doesn't work to showcase her awesome talent.

CinisterCee said:

Yep,,,like I stated b4, put that sists with Arif Mardin in one room. The man could def bring out the best in her!

VoicesCarry said:

It is not bad at all. It is just a little clip. It is melodic and nice. I like her ballad style. yes she whispers, as long as she doesnt use her natural voice and the whisper toghether like on "Through The Rain" where they both are fighting with eachother.

paisleypark4 said:

That's it!!! I couldn't verbalise it before! her whisper sounds good, only when she doesn't try and do it with her middle range
can't wait till this summer/fall to hear her new album!
So far she's worked with Damizza, Randy Jackson and JJ & TL! and there is Christina Aguliera duet rumor!
