    She wrote this song over 4 years.. such a masterpiece.

    The album version is even more vocally reserved than this live version. Equally as emotional. Lambs love these Rosie O’Donnell interviews and performances. She also did Petals on this show a couple years later. Another Mariah recommendation would be Vision of Love (2005 BET Blueprint).

      @@CJWahanui Aside from her Oprah interview about her Memoir, I always feel like Oprah isn't really listening and eager to cut her off talking over her. Which I don't understand because during her interview with her and Whitney, she was much more respectful to Nippy and allowed her to finish her fucking sentence and would respond to it as opposed to going off on her own tangent.

      Edit: This will kinda blow your mind but the song I hated the most/didn't enjoy much from her was The Roof 😳 I actually enjoyed Mariah's parts but the rap part in the Official Video wasn't it, but now I mess with it although I prefer the solo version 😅

    It's bittersweet that such a brilliant and beautiful soul got hurt many times since she was a child, but like she said "... To anyone who's ever told me a song i wrote helped save your life, i thank you, because you saved mine."

  • @patriccardoso7479
    @patriccardoso7479 4 роки тому +21

    The writing process of Close My Eyes happened when Mariah was leaving the house she used to live with her ex husband, Tommy Mottola. She even jokes when referring to this house as "sing sing" because that was the only thing she used to do and the only thing she grasped to it when living there. When thinking about the song, she first was reflecting on her life and the first part of the song represents that. What we could certainly say is that Mariah was exposed to lots of things that most children do not encounter while growing up, so Close My Eyes is definitely a compilation of the emotions and situations this woman has encountered throughout her life. Also, Mariah has said that this was the first song that she started the writing process, stopped it and came back to it after a while. So this song is a representation of some years of growth and maturation.

    The song is actually a few seconds longer. It's a very personal lyrics. It's kinda picture of herself and her childhood. I think somehow Mariah will always have a song that is a mirror of some moment of our lives. That's why I stan!
    Love and peace! 🇧🇷

    With songs like this and lyrics like this, “And I learned many things little ones shouldn’t know”..... The anticipation for this Memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey” is just sky high. She may have been writing about watching her sister prostitute herself. Later she writes in this song, “I left the worst unsaid”. Huh. Her music. Her words. And now we are getting, Her Story. I just can’t wait. 🌻💜

  • @mijalakis3
    @mijalakis3 4 роки тому +1

    This is one of her most beloved songs. She actually sings it in head voice in the original record but in here she belts most of it. Lyrics are perfect and the producing of the song is unique you don't hear many songs like that. The bridge is very unique. The way she sings it makes it sound a bit like Daydream album. Her whisper register became more evident after Butterfly so the original version fits better with 4th of July, The Roof and Beautiful ones.

    Hi! In the studio version she originally used all falsetto/whisper voice while here she did mostly in chest voice here
    And I understandood why she rathered that way because when I tried to cover it it was really difficult to sing in all falsetto and around the near end my voice was kinda tired already!
    THATS WHY I LOVE MARIAH SO MUCH BECAUSE CONTROL !!! IMAGINE SHE'S BEEN USING ALL THESE REGISTERS IN DAYDREAM ERA!!!
