#3 Trey Lorenz

"PoM (LP version)"- We hit the 90’s and the first artist I have yet to know. I am familiar with one of the producers: Mariah Carey. She and Walter Afanasieff made this song for Trey, and probably with Walter performing all of the instruments as he did on Mariah’s work. The song begins with the typical 90’s made beat. It picks up quickly with the vocals. Rhythm chants follow musical calls and his voice riding just on top finishing up this tale; the one he reminisces about Mary and how he wants her back in his life even though he keeps all the many memories in his head. He laments that he has the right to know just what went wrong. And as is obvious... just right there, he became too desperate and unless you can pine as Sting does about such desperation (Every Breath You Take), the relationship is going to end quick, fast, in a hurry.
"PoM (Characters Radio Remix)"- This is the bare bones version and I find “radio” in the title confusing. I'd hope it was a jab or dare to radio stations in hopes for play of the song without listening first. Bizarre promotion. I’d bet that Gregg Gillis could incorporate this version into something unique. If I met current day Trey, I would ask him his explanation to any future girl he dated as to why he still kept a photo of Mary near him?
