Singalong! Misled by Celine Dion

This was not only the first Celine Dion song I ever knew, but it was more-or-less my first foray into "secular" music.  I grew up in a Christian household, and while my parents weren't nutty about the whole thing, we pretty much just listened to Christian music growing up (hence the love I've shared for Amy Grant).  I remember around grade three, beginning to experiment with our radio.  Perhaps influenced by friends at school talking about songs I didn't know, perhaps subtly pushed by an older sister who undoubtably had gotten into a wider array of music already, perhaps fuelled by an innate desire to learn what else was out there, I turned the radio dial and stopped when I heard some new music that I liked.  The station was Z95.3FM (in its original glory).  They were playing Celine Dion's Misled.  I loved it.  My life would never be the same.

Also, revisiting this song I not only see that the video is one of the finest examples of early-90s pop culture, but that this is one of the best breakup songs of all time!  Go Celine!

MISLED

by Celine Dion

I tought I knew you

Tought that I knew you well

We had a rhythm

But I guess you never can tell

Oh I learned early

Never to ignore the signs

You'll be forgiven

It ain't worth that much to my mind

Lovin' you (was) so easy

It's hard to say goodbye

But if it's the way it goes it goes

[Chorus]

Just a page in my history

Just another one of those mysteries

One more lover that used to be

If you think you're in my head

You been seriously misled

Loving somebody ain't your average 9 to 5

It takes conviction it takes a will to survive

I'm not somebody who commits the crime

And leaves the scene

But when I've been dissed

I don't spend much time on what might've been

I'm not about self-pity

Your love did me wrong

So I'm movin', movein' on

[Chorus]

Just a page in my history

Just another one of those mysteries

One more lover that used to be

If you think you're in my head

You been seriously misled
