Дамита, така ще е, щом си спряла да следиш кариерата на Марая отпреди 10 години. В Charmbracelet има едно безумно изпълнение, носещо името My Saving Grace. Най-любимата ми песен на Марая може би...С какво Марая е по-добра от Бионсе ли? Ами примерно с текстове като тези, които разказват някаква история....

Close My Eyes

I wuz a wayward child
with the weight of the world
that I held deep inside.
Life wuz a winding road
and I learned many things
little ones shouldnt know

Chorus:
But I closed my eyes
steadied my feet on the ground
raised my head to the sky
and though times rolled by
still I feel like a child as i look at the moon
maybe I grew up a little too soon

La-da-da-da-da....

Funny how one can learn
to grow numb to the madness
and block it away
I left the words unsaid
let it all dissipate
as I try to forget

Chorus

Bridge:
Nearing the edge
oblivious I almost
fell right over.
Apart of me
will never be quite able
to feel stable.
Like with each other
nearing the side
were on the verge of dying
Thankfully I woke up in time....

Guardian angel I
sail away on an ocean
with you by my side.
Orange clouds roll by
they burn into your image
and your still alive

Mariah Carey - Outside Lyrics
It's hard to explain
Inherently it's just always been strange
Neither here nor there --
always somewhat out of place everywhere
Ambiguous --
without a sense of belonging to touch
Somewhere halfway --
feeling there's no one completely the same

Chorus:
Standing alone --
eager to just
believe it's good enough to be what
you really are
But in your heart
uncertainty forever lies
and you'll always be
somewhere on the
outside

Early on, you face
the realization you don't
have a space
where you fit in
And recognize
you were born to exist

Chorus (1x)

And it's hard
And it's hard
And it's hard

Irreversibility
Falling in between
And it's hard
And it's hard
to be understood
as you are
As you are

Oh, and God knows
that you're standing on your own --
blind and unguided
Into a world divided
you're thrown
Where you're never quite the same
although you try -- try and try
to tell yourself
you really are

But in your heart -- uncertainty forever lies
and you'll always be
somewhere on the outside
You'll always be
somewhere on the outside

The Roof

by M. Carey, J. C Oliver
It wasn't raining yet
but it was definately getting a little misty on
that warm November night
And my heart was pounding,
my inner voice resounding,
begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face
to feel alive

And then you casually walked in the room
and I was twisted in the web
of my desire for you
(And I was twisted)
My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
to taste my sadness
as you kissed me in the dark

Chorus:
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
and go back in time
to relive the splendor of you and I
on the rooftop that rainy night

And so we finished the Moet and
I started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me
in your arms
I was so caught up in the moment
I couldn't bear to let you go yet
so I threw caution to the wind
and started listening to my longing heart

And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
and the feelings surfaced I'd surpressed
for such a long time
(And I was lifted)
And for awhile I forgot
the sorrow and the pain
and melted with you as we stood
there in the rain

Chorus (2x)

Last night I dreamed that I
whispered the words I love you
and touched you so very
subtly as we were kissing goodbye
(Pretty baby -- how I'm missing you)

Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
(Envision you caressing me)
and go back in time
(I go back)
to relive the splendor of you and I
on the rooftop that rainy night
(on the roof that rainy night)

Every time I feel the need
(When I feel the need)
I envision you caressing me
(I envision you over and over and over again)
and go back in time
to relive the splendor of you and I
(It was oh so sweet, you and I)
on the rooftop that rainy night
(on that rainy night)

Every time I feel the need
(Last night I had the strangest dream ... )
I envision you caressing me
(It was actually quite symbolic)
and I go back in time
(As I whispered ... that I loved you)
to relive the splendor of you and I
( ... very subtly)

Chorus (1x)


Mariah Carey - My Saving Grace Lyrics
I've still got a lot to learn
But, at least I know where I can turn
When I'm in my times of need
Just as long
(As I know all things are possible)
Just as long as I believe

I've loved a lot, hurt a lot
Been burned a lot in my life and times
Spent precious years wrapped up in fear
With no end in sight
Until my saving grace shined on me
Until my saving grace set me free

Giving me peace
Giving me strength when I'd
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
I found my saving grace within you

Yes, I've been bruised
Grew up confused
Been destitute
I've seen life from many sides
Been stigmatized
Been black and white
Felt inferior inside
Until my saving grace shined on me
Until my saving grace set me free

Giving me peace
Giving me strength when I'd
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
I found my saving grace within you

And the bountiful things that you do
Lord thank you
For delivering me

And giving me peace
Giving me strength
Giving me hope when I'd
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
Always my saving grace
Pulls me through
I found my saving grace within you

(Yes you are - you're my every, everything)
Within you...
(Only, only you)
Yes lord
(Only you)
My saving grace lord is
You

Това беше просто кратък пример. Всеки си има собствен вкус, и е много по-добре да има МНОГО изпълнители - за всеки по нещо....Нооооо...Бионсе ако ще и най-якия глас да има...За мен си остава поредното МТВ творение...Албума и беше с доста съмнително качество, доколкото помня! Naughty Girl беше най-досадния хит на миналата година....Не че Марая е цвете за мирисане, ама...АБЕ МАРАЯ СИ Е МАРАЯ!
