Mariah Carey-"Looking in"

[sundaymorningguy]

I listened to this just now; I forgot how sad this song makes me . Beautiful song just very depressing to hear. Bravo to Mariah on great lyrics and vocals ; eventhough, she makes me sad everytime with this song.

This is one of my favorites Mariah's songs EVER!

I love this, yeah it's a sad song, but a beautiful sad song, with amazing lyrics.

I never understood why Tommy let this to be on the album since the song's message is so CLEAR. I remember the first time I heard this song I was amazed by Mariah's honesty.

This song was used as an intro for all her Tours since the Butterfly one.

Here's the lyrics:

You look at me and see the girl
Who lives inside the golden world
But don´t believe
That´s all there is to see
You´ll never know the real me

She smiles through a thousand tears
And harbours adolescent fears
She dreams of all
That she can never be
She wades in insecurity
And hides herself inside of me

Don´t say she takes it all for granted
I´m well aware of all I have
Don´t think that I am disenchanted
Please understand

It seems as though I´ve always been
Somebody outside looking in
Well, here I am for all of them to bleed
But they can´t take my heart from me
And they can´t bring me to my knees
They´ll never know the real me

I appreciate that she was able to write a song about the downside of fame without trying to make people feel sorry for her, but her vocals on this song are horrendous.. probably the worst vocal performance she gave in the first five years of her career on a studio album. They remind me of an early version of her Charmbracelet whispering.

i love the lyrics but her vocals are not spectacular but they're not bad either IMO

[Mr. Birdy Sound]

Seriously this song is not about the vocals. It's all about the lyrics and melody.

It's a nice and deep song with great lyrics, but i never listen to this track, it bores me.
