Bad English’s Biggest Hit: When I See You Smile
When Diane Warren calls, you say yes. This also applies to Richard Marx.
When I See You Smile might just be the lightest song in the overall hair metal catalog. Fluttery piano intro. Acoustic guitar comes in next. John Waite’s anything-but-heavy-metal vocals. I mean, the guy wrote Missing You. Also, anyone ever notice that John Waite looks like a cross between David Duchovny and Joe (Anthony Battaglia) from Empire Records?
Waite’s song for Vision Quest, Change, is actually a harder tune, despite being slightly more pop, if you can believe it.
