bu. Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 In celebration of my recent purchase, today we will be celebrating Janet's beautiful ballad Come Back To Me. Last week I bought an ORIGINAL Come Back To Me Special 7" Box Set LT EDT from ebay. It arrived this morning. A review from a non-fan: Song stats: - Written by Janet, Terry and Jimmy. - Has a Spanish sister called 'Vuelve a Mi' - Released as a double A-side in the Uk with Alright - Sampled by Plies on song Bust It Baby (in which Jackson makes an appearance on a remix) - Peaked at 2 on the Hot 100. - Jackson's first—and so far only—number-one hit on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart - Directed by Dominic Sena (who also directed the legendary, epic Rhythm Nation and Miss You Much amongst others) - Was my #1 played song for THREE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS with NO interruptions before iTunes reset my play counts Looking through my old drawer Came across the letter you wrote Said you needed time away That was so long ago All my life I've waited To see your smile again In my mind I hated Not able to let go Come back to me I'm beggin' you please Come back to me I want you to Come back to me I'm beggin' you please Come back to me Lord knows that I have tried To live my life as one Friends tell me to hold on Tough times don't last for long My abandoned heart Just doesn't understand My undying love for you Won't let me wait Come back to me I'm beggin' you please Come back to me I want you to Come back to me I'm beggin' you please Come back to me Please come back to me I miss you so much Wherever you are I love you All my life I've waited To see your smile again In my mind I hated Not able to let go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Janet's 2nd best ballad. Harmonies, the lower register, the conviction, the lyrics >>>>>> I was gonna buy that poster off Ebay, but I just wan't sure cuz I don't like that bordering and white space. I'll probably get it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The influence of the CBTM video was almost immediate. 1992 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Maz8uo8xBzw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveSupreme Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Janet's 2nd best ballad. Harmonies, the lower register, the conviction, the lyrics >>>>>> Agreed.

Mr. Wonder Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Agreed. The harmonies are so lush, the production is perfect and the longing in her voice is palpable. It's a gorgeous ballad.

God Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 'Come Back to Me' used to be my favorite song from Rhythm Nation. This is actually the only CD single of hers that I'm missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I love this song. It's one of the singles I just had to hunt down in CD form. Come Back To Me (The Abandoned Heart Mix) is EVERYTHING. :tear: :tear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 EASILY 1 of my top fave Janet songs. THE PASSION in her words. Its like what I tell people who say bullshit like "She cant sing", no she dont YELL, but the womens voice has a passion and a DEPTH, a sincerity that some of the loudest singers lack.

Idrag4mj Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 This..is just too much..Janet ballads (when she is sanging) are just too much It mellows me so much anytime i listen .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 And more recently: I think that's a bit of a reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 I think that's a bit of a reach. It's not. Adele went to Paris because Janhova graced her presence with the city of love. Adele copied the shot of the Eiffel Tower (the whole tower in the distance as a blur thing) as shown by the Queen in Come Back To Me as well as walking a bridge on La Seine (I don't think it's the same bridge however). Adele's video ALSO shows the Grand Palais which has clearly been inspired by Come Back To Me which also shows le Grand Palais des Champs-Elysées .

RedSimba Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 "Come Back To Me" is one of most beautiful ballads ever made. I was just recently listening to the Abandoned Heart Mix; haunting! More influence... (sounds like he sampled it, the chord progressions are the same) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEOgSETPwM0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishi Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Oh wow. I have not seen that video or heard the Heavy D song in YEARS. It does sounds a lot like the legendary CBTM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
