David Benjamin - Self-Love (Official Video)

Lyrics:
I can still remember when I would hate myself not fitting in
I would try my best to be somebody else
Thought I wasn’t good enough I would treat myself like shit for giving up
Thought that I was someone hard to love
Then it was you who came along
Like the eye within the storm
Said above the clouds skies are still blue
Right there when I thought I was lost
And forgot just who I was
I saw myself in you

CHORUS
Baby now I’m my own best friend
Love me the way I am
No baby I’m not lonely
I’m just getting to know me
Now I can just observe
High on down to earth
Nowhere I’ve arrived
Here I am alive

In your eyes I find a wonderful world beyond my mind
A magical place where all these words don’t mean a thing
Now I know there’s nothing wrong with me
All my tears bring out the best of me
I can cry my heart out in the rain
Cuz it was you who came along
Like the eye within the storm
Said above the clouds skies are still blue
Right there when I thought I was lost
And forgot just who I was
I found myself in you

CHORUS

Bridge:
Here in the meaning
Awake but I’m dreaming
Just let the light in your heart through
Know that I’m always here for you

CHORUS

This song is magic. I found it on an accident looking for self love affirmations. I have listened to it multiple times in a row everyday for a week now. I still can't listen and/ or watch with out crying the happiest tears. Just wow. And thank you brother. Thank you

Dit is alweer zo'n nummer dat naar meer smaakt! 😋
Blijft het een single, of is dit een voorproefje van nog een nieuwe EP?

De video doet een beetje denken aan die voor LOVE (All I Got), rekende er daardoor ook een beetje op dat 'ie op dezelfde EP zou staan 🤔
Clips doen ook een klein beetje denken aan bittersweet symfonie trouwens, maar da's niks om je voor te schamen - was volgens mij een veelgeprezen video 🙂
