Music is a universal language. I have found myself listening to Tori Kelly's Dear No one. Mostly because it speaks to the place I am in time, I am sold out to just sitting with being alone enough to have conversations with myself, do the work and get to know me without trying to find solace in someone, or something.
It is a classic vibe of breaking cracked foundations and building stronger ones. Tori's song speaks for rest, rest in knowing that in the moment all one can do is to be about the business that makes you thrive while you wait to partner with someone.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. This is a dedication to all single people, who have chosen to focus a little closer on who they are before the person.
"Dear No One"
I like being independent
Not so much of an investment
No one to tell me what to do
I like being by myself
Don't gotta entertain anybody else
No one to answer to.
But sometimes I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket when it's cold
Got that young love even when we're old
Yeah, sometimes I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you 'til the end
So if you're out there I swear to be good to you
But I'm done lookin' for my future someone
'Cause when the time is right you'll be here,
But for now, dear No One,
This is your love song
Ooh, oh, oh
I don't really like big crowds
I tend to shut people out
I like my space, yeah
But I'd love to have a soul mate
And God'll give him to me someday
And I know it'll be worth the wait,
Oh
So if you're out there I swear to be good to you
But I'm done lookin', I'm done lookin' for my future someone
'Cause when the time is right you'll be here,
But for now, dear No One
Dear Nobody
This is your love song
Ooh, ooh
Sometimes I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket when it's cold
Got that young love even when we're old
Yeah, sometimes I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you 'til the end
So if you're out there I swear to be good to you
But I'm done lookin', I'm done lookin' for my future someone
'Cause when the time is right you'll be here,
But for now, dear No One, dear Nobody
This is your love song
This is your love song
Dear No One, no need to be searchin', no
Dear No One.
Dear No One.
Dear No One, this is your love song
Not so much of an investment
No one to tell me what to do
I like being by myself
Don't gotta entertain anybody else
No one to answer to.
But sometimes I just want somebody to hold

Got that young love even when we're old

So if you're out there I swear to be good to you
