Second album came out, and I came out of the closet! Especially when my little nephew would dance around to Sexyback. He was such an adorable 5 year old!
Third album, I had a countdown on my phone. I was so excited to watch him on the Grammy's. Suit & Tie was great. Listened to it over and over again... Mirrors comes out, and I'm in love.
I LOVE this song, and then I read this article about how the video is a celebration of his grandparents love, hence the dedication to William and Sadie at the beginning. Deeper and deeper in love I fell.
Mirrors
Aren't you somethin' to admire?
Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side
Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'm here tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you somethin', an original
Cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare, cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I
Would look at us all the time
Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'm here tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
You are, you are the love of my life [x10]
Baby, you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are
You are, you are the love of my life [x8]
Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You are, you are the love of my life [x16]
Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side
Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul

What are you listening to right now?
I have reluctant love for JT, too. I didn't really like his music at first, but then I found the songs stuck in my head. I never really thought he was attractive because he looked like a child to me, but I did notice the slightest hint of wrinkles in this video, so I'm start to change my mind there too. Plus, he can sing, dance, and most importantly, is funny, and that's attractive. Like you, by the time "Sexyback" came out, I just gave up and admitted to liking JT. I really like this song and the video. Thanks for sharing, Sarah Ann!
ReplyDeleteIt was that first Thanksgiving dinner in Castle Rock that changed my mind. I was listening to it secretly, and then found out that you guys liked him also... so I was so happy!
DeleteLove ya!

I really need to get some JT on my iphone. I do enjoy him quite a bit and forget that I do! I loved watching him on SNL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing love!
JT is great! and SNL and JT are the best together! Thanks for stopping by!

This video is very different. We love JT, and Suit and Tie is *great*
