And though you might miss some of the lush sounds from BatB or HoND, each movie had songs and sounds that fit a theme or meshed with the picture, and it seems "Tangled"s theme is much more personal and simple
Yeah, but I guess I'm a sucker for complex music.
I've been listening to the song and I admit it's growing on me.

OK, "If Only" is radically different since it's a quartet, but it too also starts very softly, builds up to a strong melody and it is also a song about the character's feelings during one of the key scenes in the plot.
Listen and think if I am right or being silly:

No you're not being silly, it sounds similar, I would say that a difference between the songs is that If Only is a much more vigorous song, in the sense that they get very passionate (singing wise) and I See the Light stays about the same level throughout the song.
Now since people are saying what the song reminds them of. I See the Light reminds me of Your Heart Will Lead You Home from the Tigger Movie:

And here are the lyrics from what I could hear
Rapunzel:
All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you
Flynn:
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here, suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go
Rapunzel & Flynn:
And at last I see the light
Flynn:
And it's like the fog is lifted
Rapunzel & Flynn:
And at last I see the light
Rapunzel:
And it's like the sky is new
Rapunzel & Flynn:
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you, now that I see you
Feel free to correct me.
