Customer Reviews Oh this is too deep! It is a song you would hear in the park with all the Low Riders (my brother was into the "cholo"/Low Rider thing) chilling around with their girlfriends and having a picnic. This song harkens me back to my High School days with it's sing-a-long lyrics and sweet Summertime feel. This song brings such memories back with that "Old School" urban flair. Now for the remixes. Dark and Sinister describe Peter Rahoufer's remix efforts here, not that is a bad thing but this song has that sentimental "Puppy Love" type of feel that is totally stripped away here. You get the feeling of being in a no-man's land here with all the cold and calculated electronica. Yes this song is about loss but in this setting there is a forboding sense of hopelessness. As a side note, the music reminds me of Depeche Mode's work in the early 1980s. Depeche Mode and Mariah Carey. . . . Wait a minute, that's just tooo deep. . . ly craZY!!!a Now on with the Atlantic Soul Remixes. First don't pay attention to the fact that I personally know Craig Christenson who is better known as DJ Craig C. , formerly of The Pound Boys, but that's not important. Formerly from Denver, Colorado, Craig C now resides in San Francisco, so I am at a loss with the whole "Atlantic Soul" bit. I guess he is trying to capture the feel of that style. When I listen to this, I hear the typical sound of ol C-boy. There is an element of humaness to his remixes as he draws on his taste for Disco, R&B and Soul along with his other likings for Gospel, Rock and Jazz. This mix is defininetly more warm that the PR remixes but I still think some of the sentiment is lost in the translation in the same way I felt was the case when Craig and - then remix partner DJ Dealer did the honors for Carey's cover of the 1980s Phil Collins hit "Against All Odds". Having said all this, the original version is the best but all is not lost with the remixes but in the end, I believe the original version will be the one that is remembered. . One of my all-time favorites Not much to say here except that the Reconstruction Radio Mix of this song is one of my all-time favorites!. All the grooves We belong together is such a great song. This girl does have a really good upbeat and tone to all of her music. And I hope everybody thinks that to. she is very very pretty. and seems to have a great Talent. She has a great oppurtunity to be even better then she is right now. All of her videos are awesome, and all the diffent types of mixtures they have for the songs are better than any other. Mariah Carey seems to write her own songs. And to me her music is herself. her number one hit on her other cd was Shake it off. And We Belong Together. Great tones and she has a voice of a rapper. But not so much. Please enjoy this review and you won't be dissapointed with any of her cds. . You can see a complete list of all Mariah Carey discography, or go back to the Mariah Carey tabs
