OMG I love Somewhat loved!

**jeejust** · Wed June 9, 2021, 18:52

Used a VPN to change location to Australia to listen to Somewhat Loved on YouTube.

The song has a pretty infectious chorus. From 0:00 to 0:50 the initial verse is very meh.

**LambChild** · Wed June 9, 2021, 19:16

Hmmm idk about this one. I’m digging the chorus but I hate when she does songs with ballad like verses and then busier and for lack of a better word “boppier” choruses. This was my gripe with Save The Day as well.

That being said, the vocals sound great. Nothing like the WBT late night mix you all know you’re overrating—she sounded like a graduate of Miami Tech and y’all know it.

This is what I can make out, tho English is not my first language, I'm petty confident in my ears lol. Can somebody please hep me fill in the ones I miss or misheard.

We stood there alone in that silent corridor

Those unspoken words conjured fixation capturing me

Fall helplessly into bliss

Just like all things started to switch

And exposed evеrything that I missed

Somewhat loved (somеwhat loved)

The more I thought about you (the more I thought)

The less I thought about me

And I lost myself in this dream

Somewhat loved (only somewhat)

There you go breaking my heart, breaking my heart, breaking my heart again

There’s no such thing as lovers and friends

There you go breaking my heart, breaking my heart, breaking my heart again

You only live to break my heart again

Spun out of control

In this faithless world I must own

Angel turned his back

And where wings once were

They were no longer intact

Fall helplessly into bliss

Just like all things started to switch

And exposed evеrything that I missed

Somewhat loved (somеwhat loved)

The more I thought about you (the more I thought)

The less I thought about me

And I lost myself in this dream

Somewhat loved (only somewhat)

Only somewhat

There you go breaking my heart, breaking my heart, breaking my heart again

There’s no such thing as lovers and friends

There you go breaking my heart, breaking my heart, breaking my heart again

You only live to break my heart again

Yeah I completely agree about the song structures.. if a song has slow verses and boppy choruses, people can’t get into it, including me. Is it a ballad or an uptempo, make up your mind lol. Silly formula.

My sentiments exactly. Like what’s the occasion to spin something like this?

I love the chorus and outro.

Maybe it will grow on me.

I quite agree, very awkward. Outro is fire though.

Everyone needs to remember this is a left over track from a decade or more ago that has been repurposed for a Jam & Lewis compilation. Take it for what it is. Not the lead single of a Mariah album campaign.

Quite, but people will still have opinions on the track I guess.

**darnellabc** · Wed June 9, 2021, 19:52

I like the song. It’s perfect for a Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis album but I don’t wouldn’t want to here it on an official Mariah album. The production is too dated for a current album

**wolfeagle** · Wed June 9, 2021, 19:52

I appreciate that Mariah’s voice has changed and we’re lucky to get new music from her. And she’s not a machine. But I don’t know how we went from the greatest song endings the world had ever heard to not even one creative run or riff for song endings. It started to go downhill with the “Eh! Ehs!” in 100% and then those got replaced with just one long high note (You’re Mine, Infinity) but I never dreamed we’d get to the point of nothing at all.

**Kaloki** · Wed June 9, 2021, 20:01

Wow, I know it's not a proper single or anything, but this is an absolute mess lol

I just don't understand what Mariah is listening to when she OKs songs like Infinity/Save the Day/Somewhat Loved for release???

I swears she's actually just trolling people haha

Hope people like it though

*goes back to playing 4th of July on repeat*

lol it’s dated for it’s a Left over track from memoirs . Lol I don’t get why people are making it sound that this Jim & terry song or songs from the rarities are a reflection of mariahs current musicality. When her actual latest one was caution .. the most acclaimed album of mariah.

**David_Mimi** · Wed June 9, 2021, 20:06

Am I the only one who likes the song?

**Bulwieboo** · Wed June 9, 2021, 20:09

Am I the only one who have not listen yet?

**NorthernMonkey** · Wed June 9, 2021, 20:10

I think people are causing such a fuss because it’s getting a release.

**WaitYourTurn** · Wed June 9, 2021, 20:11

It’s kinda messy but I like it. There’s element of the production that I would strip back… especially the cosmic kinda keyboard sound that comes in between the choruses and verses, it’s far too loud in the production.
