I'm a metalhead from way back. Brandy is pretty high up on my (longer than I'd like to admit) list of guilty pleasures; you know, stuff I'm "not supposed to like".
Right up there with Midnight At The Oasis, Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Baby Come Back, Lotta Love, I'd Really Love to See You Tonight, I Go Crazy, Laughter in the Rain, My Eyes Adored You, Me and You and a Dog Named Boo, Wildfire, Please Come to Boston... umm...
I dated an absolutely beautiful gal named Brandy in the 90s, and one of those lifetime moments is me hearing her her sing this song in a slightly mocking voice. I wish we could have held it together, and possibly my greatest regret is leaving her for "the sea".
