Close My Eyes by Mariah Carey Song Info
“Close My Eyes” is one of Mariah Carey most favorite & revealing songs she has written. "I was floating in a tub that was larger than the size of my entire living area just five years before, a room bigger than all of the living rooms in all of the 13 places I lived with my mother growing up. The enormity, complexity and instability of the road I had traveled to get into this bath hit me: It was the first time I felt safe enough to peek in on Mariah – the little one – and recognize what she had survived. And suddenly, the first verse and chorus of ‘Close My Eyes’ came to me,“ she continues before singing the first two haunting verses from the deep cut on 1997’s Butterfly. "It would take me years to finish this song – years of anguish and survival." - via Billboard (2020)
