Most of the songs I ruin are songs that I like a lot, or used to like but don’t make a lot of sense to me, or sounded like great songs until I listened closely to the words.
They Call The Wind Mariah is a song I never liked in any way. I thought it was a plodding tune with dopey lyrics from the very first time I heard it, which was maybe forty years ago, and I haven’t changed my opinion one teensy-tiny little bit in all the years since. I never thought the music was all that great, and it’s one of the few songs I heard on the radio and understood all the words. Far from helping me like the song, I disliked it more with every word I understood. A cloyingly, wretchedly sentimental song. And every time I hear it again I think, Dammit, I thought I was finally rid of that song from my life. So, not a fan.
