Reconsidered merit VI

Outside of "Downtown Train," "Forever Young," and "Young Turks," I've never been a fan of Rod Stewart's music.  Lately, however, I've been thinking I should give "You're In My Heart" more of a chance.  It has one of the best acoustic guitar intros in pop music, honest lyrics that say, in essence, "I'm attracted to you, so thank you for being you," and a chorus with more of a sing-along quality than I'd been willing to admit.  Is it one of my favorite songs?  No.  But it deserves more credit than I'd been giving it.
