This month, all my A to Z Challenge posts will feature a song that is on my personal list of “deep cuts.” These are songs that my husband often razzes me about, that there’s no one else who has ever heard of them or is listening to them, or they’re songs that possibly are just not that mainstream. If we are of the same era or run in the same musical taste circles, none of these may seem that off the beaten path, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t fun songs! Enjoy!

The movie Wayne’s World is a goofball comedy and a ton of fun. Most people associate Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” with this movie, and rightly so. The headbanging scene to this song is iconic! But if I’m being honest, when I think of this movie, I think of the song I am sharing in this post.

I will concede that Tia Carrere likely isn’t the best singer or musician, but I’m not here to debate her quality. This song is featured for a very short amount of time in the movie, so most people probably don’t even think about it. But the smidge I heard in the movie interested me so I sought it out to listen to the whole thing, and I fell in love.

It’s a sweetly sad song. To me, Carrere really sounds sad while she’s singing this. And there are plenty of lines in the song that tug at the heart: “Sometimes we get lost in our lies,” Sometimes what is wrong seems so right, sometimes when we shouldn’t, we might,” There’s a little bit of you in everything that I do.” I just feel like these lines are sad but sweet. Also, I just appreciate the pleading tone she has when she sings, “Why you wanna break my heart?”

If you appreciate sad breakup songs, maybe this one will make your playlist!
