Vision of Love
Mariah Carey Lyrics

And it was all that you've given to me

Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered through alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me

I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven has sent down to me

You treated me kind (yeah)
Sweet destiny (yes, you did)
And I'll be eternally grateful (oh)
Holding you so close to me (prayed through the night)
Prayed through the nights (so faithfully)
So faithfully (faithfully)
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually (he would find me)

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you turned out to be, yeah, mmm

Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me

Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered through alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me

Her debut single was basically a gospel pop song. She’s talking about god and having faith in her dreams. A vision of love that god meant for her to receive.

New Phone

YES! Omg, I had the exact same thought as I was listening again this time. I LOVE this song so much. Seeing your interpretation of it adds to the energy of this song for me. She isn't the only feeling the energy of what she's singing about. Ahhh ... Music. God. Faith. Dreams. Love. Vision. Thanks Mariah. :)

She said in her book that her belief in God and Jesus is what kept her going to find her record deal, she had to deal with her abusive toxic family even while recording her demos and trying to make it out there, and never gave up.

Mariah had been writing, performing, and recording for about 4 - 5 years by the time she released her mainstream, commercial "debut" album.

It's fun to think people are overnight successes; but it's more important to acknowledge the hard work they put in.

As I’m reading through comments, I realized up until the 90’s, not JUST ANYONE could be a singer. Talent was talent and there was a certain standard of who became famous. Of course there are music execs who would mold artists into what they wanted but they still produced songs that will last a lifetime. Mariah Carey has pure talent and her voice is silky smooth... ugh how do I explain it, you just can’t recreate what she has!! When I bought this album as a kid, I sang my heart out to every song because Mariah was everything and it was a time of loving love and life! Listening to this today, I feel like a kid again-innocent and pure love 💕 thank you Mariah!

Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me

Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered through alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me

I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven has sent down to me

You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I'll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you turned out to be

Happy Anniversary! The most legendary debut by the most legendary vocalist of all time. Mariah will always inspire new artists to come and no one can change that. Once you hit an unsupported note, people forget how great you are. The media portraits her as a mean diva, but us lambs know her. She's the sweetest diva ever, the greatest musician ever and we should all appreciate the fact, that after everything she's been through, she's STILL here making music

Whitney Houston is better than Mariah Carey because Mariah Carey over sings. Even in vision of love sometimes for one word she riffs 10 notes for no reason. Whitney sang with more emotion, it came from the heart. Mariah is more focused on “styling”.

Yeah the difference in the techniques comes from Mariah's upbringing. Beyonce had vocal lessons, Mariah was raised by a mother that was an Opera singer, so naturally Mariah's technique is more refined than others.

+Gavin Rowe Tell us why you're really mad. We didn't give Mariah these titles; music critics did. Here's a snippet of proof of VOL's impact:

" "Vision of Love" was lauded by contemporary music critics. While the production of the song was typical of late 1980s pop, the vocals were not, being much more showy and expressing a wider range than artists popular at the time such as Paula Abdul and Debbie Gibson. It has been credited with popularizing the use of melisma in modern popular music and for inspiring several artists to pursue a career in music. The New Yorker named "Vision of Love" the "Magna Carta of melisma" for its and Carey's influence on pop and R&B singers and American Idol contestants. Additionally, Rolling Stone said that "the fluttering strings of notes that decorate songs like "Vision of Love," inspired the entire American Idol vocal school, for better or worse, and virtually every other female R&B singer since the nineties."

@Rafi Al Haidar I know, but it was easy for her, that's what I'm saying. For any other singer it's impossible to sing like her, instead.

Rafi Al Haidar

Federico Raggio You are not getting my point. I am not saying that Daydreamriah put so much effort into her high notes. I am saying that they were EFFORTLESS, but they were NOT EASY to hit because she is doing a lot of things to support properly, which is one of the reasons why her voice declined (still amazing tho).

Federico Raggio

49w↑1

@Rafi Al Haidar she added countless other F#5's to VOL and many other songs, that run means nothing. And in the Music Box era (except for the tour period when she was sick) and Daydream Era she effortlessly supported those crazy belts. In the Debut Era for example, you could see that it was effortless but she had to focus a lot from E5 up, then it became like breathing until the Bitterfly era when her voice darkened as she matured.

Rafi Al Haidar

49w↑1

Federico Raggio that's not what I meant. In her prime, Mariah's upper Belts were outstanding and were EFFORTLESS, but still not easy to hit because the amount of support she puts is a lot, and that is not easy to achieve. And at the end of the daydream era, she started to put more effort into high notes if you see in her face. She didn't attempt the vision of love F#5 run in 1996. It was effortless for her, but doesn't mean that the notes were that easy to PROPERLY support.

I'm kind of sad that she straightened and dyed her hair and got breast implants and started wearing super provocative clothing, because she used to be GORGEOUS; but really, nobody - including myself - has a right to judge her. It's her body, so it's her choice, and our opinion is irrelevant.

No she gained weight and her natural hair is blonde though she straightened a little bit because nobody wants to be stuck in the 80's and the Mariah she is now is the real Mariah and the Mariah in this song is captured in Tommy Mottola's cage.

Rare that an artist peaks so young/early but thats what happened with Mariah. I give her credit for reinventing herself and her image. That and the Christmas song kept her around and relevant for decades. And while her voice actually got better, the songs certainly didnt. Incredible debut album. Strong 2nd and 3rd LP too with each subsequent album losing steam. Whether the guy was a controlling jerk or not, Tommy Mattola got the best out of Mariah.
