YOU

06/07/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “YOU” is my 79th official release and my 121st track published. This is another soulful hiphop track about spreading some love but this time, at a wedding. I made this as a wedding song for my fans so I could maybe celebrate their special day with them, with my music. Like with much of my work, this is edutianment and the song has lessons to be learned. 

The late John Gottman was the foremost social psychologist researcher on marriage and I wrote this song based on, and to enunciate his seven principles for making marriage work. I left the main video I based the song from and a short list of the principles. 

7 principles:

1 Enhance your love maps.

2. Nurture your fondness and admiration.

3. Turn toward each other. Give full attention.

4. Let your partner influence you.

5. Solve your solvable problems.

6. Overcoming gridlock. Accept and adapt to differences.

7. Create shared meaning. Rituals and common goal.

I wrote the hook and bought the beat Feburary 4th 2023 and finished writing it Feburary 10th. It has been uploaded since last year. The beat is by Tantu. The song was produced by Sam Peters at La Luna Recording and Sound in Kalamazoo Michigan and the cover art is by Gigzlogo from Fiverr.

Lyrics:

Ooo

Girl you’re hotter than the summer

Why won’t you let me love ya

Come get under the covers

And I’ll make your heart flutter

Smooth like butter, I’ll take your hand

And show that I understand

Trust is a must, and yes we can

Work it out, and be happy and glad

We reciprocate the passion like we in a band

I play it cool, though I’m your biggest fan

We have each other, and a scheme

To reach each others dreams

Reminders so you see

That you mean so much to me

Fame don’t matter, you’re a star to me

Got your mind right, and your heart is free

Been seeking your approval and how it’ll be

It’s a crown, you see, cuz you are my queen 

Like birds of a feather,

We fly high together

I make her feel free 

So she wants to sing

Baby you, are what makes me smile

And you, are what makes me wild

And I thank you 

For what makes me sing

And you 

Are my king

I appreciate you

And the fate awaiting us two

When we turn towards eachother after acting a fool

Every couple fights, but we don’t have to

Taking some blame, I’ll be happy and glad to

See the world from your perspective

Go to therapy sessions 

And Learn the fun gab 

Of your love language

That you have had

To understand what your say’n

Reciprocate the feeling

Send the love back

(Cuz I love you)

Earn your affection

And directions in your love map

Push me away,

And I just want you to come back

Your touch is my drug, where I can’t focus

I just wanna flood my brain with oxytocin

Which means I just wanna cuddle to release some stress

The way you wear that dress

Is why my dreams are wet

Loving you, I’ll never regret

Always and forever, I’ll take that bet

Cuz

Baby you, are what makes me smile

And you, are what makes me wild

And I thank you 

For what makes me sing

And you 

Are my king
