Yes, that is Mariah Carey singing a low "A", and yes that is also Mariah Carey singing a "C" that is three octaves above "Middle C", all in one great highly underrated song. This great track from her debut album was never released as a single, and yet it's clearly one of her best.
Vanishing"
by Mariah Carey
Words and Music by Mariah Carey and Ben Margulies
If I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Surely I would
Hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me
Surviving the night
You're fading out of my sight
Swiftly
[Chorus:]
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
I was so enraptured
No sensibility
To open my eyes
I misunderstood
Now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see
You're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside
Swiftly
[Chorus]
Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence to grasp
And if somehow I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Lord knows I would
But now you're fading faster
Getting so hard to see
Taking the light
Letting the darkness inside
Swiftly
[Chorus]
