Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey



My first impression of Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby" was "WOW, Mariah is so pretty in this music video" This song was made in the year 1995 and I saw this music only about a year or 2 ago. Looking at Mariah Carey then and now, not only has her image changed but so has her music. I found that this music video was a good interpretation of "young love". I think the theme of this music video is to show that your first love will always be a part of you. Although you and your first love haven't seen each in years, you'll still remember them because they were your first love. In the lyrics Mariah Carey sings "time can`t erase a feeling this strong" which supports the theme.  I think the inspiration of this music video was Mariah Carey's first love and how her first love will "always be HER baby". This is a good song because many people can relate to this because everyone has experienced love for the first time.The music video seems as if it is Mariah Carey as a young girl expierincing love for the first time. In the music video Mariah Carey is narrating the story of the her and her first love. The music video is taken place at a camp where the 2 kids fell in love. Mariah Carey seems like she went back to this camp to remember the memories she cherished with that boy. I don't think this music video shows any Gospel Values because the song is just a simple song about young love. I think the director of this music video did an amazing job because the music video matches the song. Usually when I hear a song I picture the music video in my mind and this is how I would picture the music video to be. In the end, I really love Mariah Carey and her music.

  2. I used to be a 'big' Mariah Carey fan back then so this totally caught my attention! This is actually my favourite song by her. I agree with the video matching the lyrics. The two kids in the camp see each other as being each other's babies, ALWAYS, and this matches the title of the song. GREAT SONG CHOICE, ALLAN.
