First of all, I don't think there's an actual music video for this song, and I usually avoid that, but COME ON. It's adult contemporary week and this song is just too good to ignore. It is the DEFINITION of that awful reverb-soaked marimba-with-strings keyboard patch or whatever. This song is just full of terrible synthesized noises, but that is like crack to people who listen to adult contemporary. When this song came out, it was like some new strain of hyper-addictive crack. I mean, it has that cheesy synth sound, it is sung by freaking BETTE MIDLER who in 1990 looked exactly like all the middle aged real estate agents and retail managers and secretaries that listen to adult contemporary in the first place. Plus, this song has those carefully designed quasi-Christian themes that appeal to every remotely "spiritual" white American on up to the hardcore Christians without alienating any others. This song is like the archetype of adult contemporary music, and you know what? I applaud that.
Sorry for the rant. Please to enjoy:
