Kaleidoscope Eyes Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 For now his song plays on...will you? Play yours too...Real rap, LL has crept into my Janet top 5 (number 4 in front of Empty) This track has really resonated w/ me seeing as how I just recently got out of a codependent relationship. The production is so understated but powerful at the same time...the little twangs and instrumentation in certain spots is just straight up ear candy. Janet's vocals are so vulnerable and somber, but you can identify w/ the emotion she's giving. I can't get through this song without getting in my feelings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have yet to get into this track.. It didn't catch my attention on first listen and still haven't. I haven't been back to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Upon first listen it had a country-ish vibe to it imo, and I appreciated that.. It's one of my favs from side 2..in an alternate universe I would've loved to have seen her perform this song (or songs like this) live.. In the studio she's incredibly versatile between genres, and I wish she displayed that more in her live performances.. I'd imagine an "unplugged" style performance of this song would sound great, among others..I felt like the song was written with her parent's relationship in mind.. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontologicalummah Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 My favorite part is the "She cries I just want my baby back" and the gulp of air she takes. It makes the song for me. It's a song I could definitely see on Rhythm Nation in the Lonely-Come Back to Me-Someday is Tonight section.Also I would love for her to make a folk album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCat77 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The combination of this and Black Eagle is just amazing. Great as a standalone too. Really like the production and musicI would like to hear the lyrics sung in Spanish or maybe French too. I would have liked to see that sort of thing from her 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything you juss said is EXACTLY my relation and feelings about this song. It was the 2nd song after DB that caught me and sucked me in. Its sooooo underrated and overlooked. Its like a cry for help but its still full of promise . I LOVE THE CONTRAST in this song. Simplistic yet complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vibeology Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 One of my favourites on the album...it was actually one of the standouts on my first listen. The vulnerability of her voice, the production always gets me singing like ive actually been in that situation ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda agree. I guess I should listen to this one more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreelovesJJ Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I really like this track, it does have a country feel to it which is one of her mother's favorite music & I think this is about her parents which makes sense that's who she thought of when she wrote it. I also love the "Played his part but she only blames she..." Part of that is vague & purposeful "she" could be herself as well as the other woman. It's all in one. Just love the vibe of this song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
