Dear No One

The Jacket Incident

Dear No One by Tori Kelly

"I really like this song just because it's pretty much the story of my life... Very relatable I think."

This is the second Tori Kelly song that y'all have recommended, and I like it even better than the last one. I should probably go out and listen to her entire album.

I agree that the song is #relatable, especially for me and my introverted self. In that respect, it reminds me of Alessia Cara's Here. 

I mean, listen.

Here:
Really, I would rather be at home by myself.

I don't dance, don't ask. I don't need a boyfriend.

Dear No One:
I don't really like big crowds.

I like bein' by myself. Don't gotta entertain anybody else.
No one to answer to.

Plus, they have the same kinda style, kinda R&B, with lots of words and long phrases. 

I also love Tori Kelly's voice. This part where she starts singing with this breathy head voice is the most amazing thing. It's absolutely beautiful.

Just like with Unbreakable Smile, I have to rave about the lyrics of this song. It's empowering to young women, telling them that they don't need a man, and they aren't going to end up alone just because they're not throwing themselves into the dating game every chance they get.

I like being independent.

I'm done lookin' for my future someone,
'cause when the time is right, you'll be here.

I'd love to have a soul mate, and God'll give him to me someday.
