janetDAYZ Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Im naming "Son Of A Gun" It does not get its proper praise AT ALL. Talk about a cleverly written song. The play on words.. and metaphors. Its almost like poetically written from a rapper/mc's perspective. Janet, Jimmy and Terry put their FOOT in that one...im sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bu. Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 No point making a new thread. Mariah Carey recently sat down with Genius and dissected her lyrics from throughout her career and gave so much insight into the stories behind the songs etc. It was really incredible to watch as a lifelong stan. Like it was over an hour long too. I’d love for Janet to do something like that. Like actually talking about specific songs and lines in songs and hearing more about the background and what inspired it etc. Especially the album cuts. I know we got stories in True You but a sit down interview would be amazing. Oh well a guy can dream haha, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreelovesJJ Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 By far it’s “You” - the fact that she spelled Conscience backwards to align with the theme of talking to yourself in the mirror. It being a personal reflection of your inner voice. The whispering intro to the verses which play as a voice in her head/her spirit keeping her in line. It’s literally her smartest & best written & artistic song. There’s some other honorable mentions just because they lyrically have great messages. But “You” is brilliant & she’s never done anything as intricate since. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her "chanting"..the background vocals..the melody..the production(drum programming, guitars, THAT SAMPLE). Janet, Jimmy, and Terry had time that day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
