Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
Bahaha fair call mate! The other artist who came to mind was Bryan Adams, who it turns out is Canadian so clearly I'm completely full of shit.
Logic and reason aside..... Idk it just feels like American fluff to me. To be clear, I don't mean to hate on American culture with that statement. Every culture has its own vapid, meaningless fluff. God knows Australian culture does!
Regardless of who sang it or wrote it, something about faith of the heart just feels really, really American to me. Obviously Trek has always been an American show, but it has always seemed to make an effort to be more universal than that. I still remember hearing faith of the heart for the first time and it just felt... foreign. Unrelatable.
And personally I just hate power ballads so that's my own bias haha. My whole argument is vibes and opinions really, I make zero claim to being correct or even internally consistent on this.
Don't feel bad, your instincts are on point. It's some apple pie baseball chevy truck american anthem at the stadium bullshit. It's so american it hurts and Im from the southern US lol
Also southish US; I think your take on how it sounds is why I always hated it so much. That and the unintelligible bit at the beginning. never going to forgive it and its obnoxious mind-sticking law waw
Yeah it's just the worst of y2k era ego stroking ick ever. I could go on for hours about that fucking song lol
