Music Corner - Kanye West - Only One

Hi Guys,

Every now and then I find a song that I fall in love with and have it on repeat (much to my husband's dismay.) So I just had to share with you my latest find.

 So as most of my friends and family know I am THE biggest Kardashian fan this side of the equator. And recently when watching one of the episodes I saw the making of Kanye West's video for "Only One." I didn't pay much attention to it but was intrigued by the fact that it was a video that included his beautiful baby girl, all shot on an iPhone. (Ey, technology hey!!!). But the icing on the cake was hearing about how the song came to be.

 This song is about Kanye's mom coming to him in a dream and telling him how she feels. So because of that I just had to have the song.

 My husband then downloaded it and when he put it on to play I was mesmerized. I had always heard Kanye was talented and one or two song's of his I have liked but I have never been a real fan. I have stood up and taken notice more of him because well he married my girl Kim (lol.)

The song title "Only One" is because Kanye was an only child.

 There are no words to describe this song. Imagine having lost your parent and they come back to you to tell how proud they are of you?

 My favourite line in the whole song is:
"I spoke to God about you.
He said he sent you an angel.
 Look at all that he gave you, you asked for one and you got two."

 Right there his mom is telling him that God has blessed him with so much. He wanted an angel and God sent him his wife but then also sent him his daughter.(2 angels.) That right there is poetry in motion. A real affirmation of love.

 But she starts off the song by saying:
"Hello Mari.(His second name being Omari.)
 How you doing?
I think the storm ran out of rain, the clouds are movin'
I know you're happy, cause I can see it.
So tell the voice inside ya' head to believe it.
You'll be the man you always knew you could be
 And if you knew how proud I was
You'd never shed a tear, have a fear No you wouldn't do that.
Hello my only one Hey, hey, hey, hey

 I think Kanye has never actually realised how a great a man he has become.

 His mom goes on to say:
"You'll be the man you always knew you could be
 And if you knew how proud I was
You'd never shed a tear, have a fear No you wouldn't do that."

 I think all of us, as children, want to hear that affirmation from our parents. More so if you have lost a parent.

 I love this song, the meaning and every single lyric in it.

 Well done Kanye!!!!

 XoXo, T.

[Verse 1]
As I lay me down to sleep
I hear her speak to me
Hello 'Mari, how ya doin'?
I think the storm ran out of rain, the clouds are movin'
I know you're happy, cause I can see it
So tell the voice inside ya' head to believe it
I talked to God about you, he said he sent you an angel
And look at all that he gave you
You asked for one and you got two
You know I never left you
Cause every road that leads to heaven's right inside you
So I can say

[Hook]
Hello my only one
Just like the morning sun
You keep on rising till the sky knows your name
Hello my only one
Remember who you are
No you’re not perfect but you’re not your mistakes

[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh the good outweighs the bad even on your worst day
Remember how I'd say, hey, hey, one day
You'll be the man you always knew you would be
And if you knew how proud I was
You'd never shed a tear, have a fear
No you wouldn't do that
And though I didn't pick the day to turn the page
I know it's not the end every time I see her face
And I hear you say

[Hook]
Hello my only one
Remember who you are
You got the world cause you got the love in your hands
And you’re still my chosen one
So can you understand
One day you’ll understand

[Bridge]
So hear me out, hear me out
I won't go, I won't go
No goodbyes, no goodbyes
Just hello, just hello
And when you cry, I will cry
And when you smile, I will smile
And next time when I look in your eyes
We'll have wings and we'll fly

[Hook]
Hello my only one
Just like the morning sun
You keep on rising till the sky knows your name
Hello my only one
Remember who you are
No you’re not perfect but you’re not your mistakes

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about
I just want you to do me a favor

Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me...
