2007-12-04 - Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme***) '99
Written Solely by Mariah Carey

They can say, Anything they want to say
Try and break Me down, But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed, Hanging clouds over Me

And they can try, Hard to make Me feel that I
Don't matter at all, But I refuse to falter..
In what I Believe, Or lose Faith in my Dreams

Cause there's a Light in Me, That shines Brightly
They can try, But they can't take that away from Me..

Oh they they can do, Anything they want to you
If you let them in, But they won't EVER win
If you cling to your Pride, And just push them aside

See I, I have learned, There's an inner peace I own
Something in my Soul, That they can not possess
So I won't be Afraid, And the Darkness will fade

Cause there's a Light in Me, That shines Brightly
They can try, But they can't take that away from Me

Oh Oh Oh, They can't take this, Precious Love I'll ALWAYS have inside Me
Certainly the Lord will Guide Me, Where I need to Go.. (Favorite line, non-religious, but I fell in love here)
Oh Oh Oh Oh, They can say, Anything they want to say
Try and bring Me Down, But I won't face the ground
I will Rise steadily, Sailing out of their Reach

Oh Lord, They do try, Hard to make Me feel that I
Don't matter at all, But I Refuse to falter
In what I Believe
Or lose Faith in my Dreams, Cause there's a Light in Me that shines Brightly

They can try, But they can't Take that away from Me..
From Me..

EXCELLENT CD SINGLE! A MUST HAVE!!
2005-08-18 - Okay, when I first unwrapped this CD Single, I did not think it was going to be at all as good as the 'Can't Take That Away' Maxi CD Single, but I was proven wrong! It rocked! If you're not into the whole club music theme, get this one instead of the 'Can't Take That Away/Crybaby' Maxi CD Single.

1) Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme): This song is extremely powerful vocal wise and is life changing lyrically. After listening to this song, you will feel motivated and feel better about who you are as a person.

2) Crybaby - Personally, this is my favorite Mariah Carey song. Damizza produced it, so you know it has a crazy beat to it. Even though it is hip-hop edged, it really showcases Mariah's incredible vocal range, unlike most of Carey's hip-hop songs, and it's long too, more than 5 minutes in length, you will still want to hear more. The fact that Snoop is on it makes it more better!

3) Love Hangover/Heartbreaker - I believe this is from Diva's Live '00. She covers the Diana Ross song and then it turns into a Heartbreaker remix performance! It is really neat!

Even though Crybaby outshines Can't Take That Away in catchiness, they are both two pieces of incredible work, and don't let the girly cover fool you. Guys can relate to both 'Can't Take That Away' and 'Crybaby' as well!

Certainly The Lord Will Guide Me Where I Need To Go!!
2005-07-09 - The best ballad from the Rainbow album, released in 1999, is Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)(4:32). I totally love this wonderful slow ballad and it's my favorite song off Rainbow. I love that part in the bridge that goes "Certainly The Lord Will Guide Me Where I Need To Go." I totally love it when she sings that part and I feel the same as Mariah, the Lord Jesus will guide ME where I need to go. Amazing!!!

Crybaby (5:19) is the Rainbow Album Version with Snoop Dogg and it's a pretty cool up-tempo R&B/Hip-Hop song.

Love Hangover/Heartbreaker (5:15) is a Live track taken from the VH1 Divas 2000 which was a Tribute To Diana Ross. It's a really cool live medley of Love Hangover which is really cool and Heartbreaker. Heartbreaker from this live medley does not feature Jay-Z or his rapping which is a nice treat to have if you prefer to hear Heartbreaker with just Mariah!!

Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) is another inspirational song like Hero and Anytime You Need A Friend and I totally love it!!

I luv it!
2005-04-08 - This first release of "Can't take that away" is amazing. The song is a second part of "I am free" from "Daydream".
It also contains a live performance "Love Hangover/Heartbreaker" that is really cool, a tribute to Diana Ross played at the Divas 2000 Concert.
Another song included is the great colaboration with Snoop Dogg "Crybaby" but it isn't so great, because the rap is too short, in adition I think Ice Cube, or Dr. Dre would be better.

An uplifting ballad
2003-09-20 - Mariah's fourth single from one of her best albums "Rainbow" is really something special: one of the few songs which always can fill my heart with hope when I am down. This is a song everybody should listen at least once.
The single contains two further tracks: the melancholic R'n'B ballad "Crybaby" (also from "Rainbow") and a version of "Heartbreaker" mixed with Diana Ross's "Love Hangover". This song is released only in this single.
