When the world gets a chance, go to the youtubes and type “Mariah Carey - Cant Let Go LIVE”
The song itself is one of the most prolific masterpieces ever composed... but damn, that woman’s voice will NEVER ever be replicated.
They have to figure out a way to make her voice tangible they can institutionalize at the Smithsonian.
Us old and flabby but swaggy heads that had the golden fortitude and privilege to experience the Whitneys, Mariahs, Christinas, Celines and even Freddys (Mercury, not jackson, but he coo too).
One thing aboot songs like Cant Let Go, is the my perception and ability to identify with the lyrics. When you’re young, you just recognize that its a good song and thats your biggest takeaway.
Now as a adult, who has loved and lost (but still in love), the way these old songs play now and most importantly, how they apply and resonate with you, its like they foreshadowed your lifes future events and said, “Hey, this is what the feeling is and were going to sing it to you so one day when it relates to you, embrace it in a new light and understand that we did this for you.”
Man, the shiit just speaks to me on so many levels. and i get so emotional thinking aboot it. Damn. I swear sometimes i wish the lawd had hands that extended to the Earfs...
Cuz even tho im a thug, heaven knoweds i need a hug...
*slow dances in the attic all by his lonesome as the rain beets against the window payne, all while singing to the moon like its his only audience member*
“Even tho i trieds, i cant... let go.
Cuz err night, i see you in my dreams...
Youre all i know, i caint... let go...”
sometimes i legit feel like a trapeze artist... cuz to her, i stay holding on.
and i wont let go.
