I have had a cutesy lite-reggae song bouncing around my head for about five years, ever since I heard it a couple of times at Blizzard Beach. I heard it again last night at Bahama Breeze, the island-themed chain restaurant with cheap beer and decent burgers in the parking lot of the AMC Livonia 20, and tracked it down through a few Google searches and a little luck. It is “I Would Find a Way,” by Big Mountain, possibly the only reggae band with links to Aztlan websites on its homepage.
[“I Love the 90s” types may recall Big Mountain as the hitmakers behind that reggae version of
“Baby I Love Your Way” from the Reality Bites soundtrack.]
Well, I figured out with a little more research why I liked the melody so much — it was written by creepy pop ballad hit cyborg lady Diane Warren.
