Thread Name: 'The Voyage' - Is it me or is it awful
Subject: 'The Voyage' - Is it me or is it awful
I've gotten requests for this song several times and never learned it because I find it so embarassingly bad, but recently I've been booked for some wedding receptions so I couldn't get out of it - had to learn it and perform it and managed to sing it and sound sincere. Is it just me that's an old cynic or is this one of the worst songs in recent memory?   I find it cloying, sickeningly sentimental, awkward - in short - awful. I almost can't get through that "relation'ship' line. However, people are delighted when I sing it. Some couples get all misty eyed. One couple wrote me a special "Thank You" card for making their reception so special by singing it. Maybe it only speaks to those in the full throes of romantic love!
