no star was out of reach

day 02 - your least favorite song

what a broad category. there are so many reasons to dislike a song. i honestly can't say that there is one song out there that i can point to as the bane of my musical existence.

but, if i must...

i actually liked celine dion when she first came out. beauty and the beast. when i fall in love. if you ask me to (which i still enjoy, or at least i think i would if i heard it again). she seemed like a more matapang amy grant.

it's SO easy to point to her cover songs. how terribly did she screw up "you shook me all night long"? and what business did she have singing it in leather pants in public? the nerve on some people. once, i was sitting at the doctor's office when celine's version of john lennon's "beautiful boy" came on. i could have cried. actually, i could have laid down on the floor, wailed and kicked the air until i was escorted out. it drove me absolutely crazy.

celine's arsenal can really kill this category dead. but i guess i'll post a song that, while not nearly as offensive as her reinterpretation of AC/DC, was not meant to be a novelty. "because you loved me" came out while i was in high school, and became a staple for high school graduations for a few years after. it exemplifies generic songwriting. not only can you give this song to your boyfriend, you can also give it to your mom, your teacher, your priest. god. it's hallmark to the infinite power.

i really can't stand this song. i'll have you know that even as i preview this song for uploading, i gotta keep the volume down. god forbid my neighbors think this trash is coming out of my apartment. and i want to delete it as quickly as possible from my mediafire, my macbook, and my life. see what i do for you?
