Sam Smith
https://genius.com/Sam-smith-say-it-first-lyrics
My closest friends know that Sam Smith is my overall favorite singer. Every one of his songs are just amazing and full of raw emotion that are filled with his beautiful voice. His new album came out last month and was a total blessing since the last time we heard new music of his was around 2014. Anyways, one of my favorite songs from the album was Say it First. When we listen to songs most times we never really comprehend what the lyrics are even though we can memorize songs word for word, but we remember the rhythm and the beat to the song. This song is about the trust issues that people who have been in one-sided relationships have, where they have cared about someone much more than the other. This doesn't just apply to romantic relationships either, they apply to any friendship or relationship. At one point or another in our lives, we all will eventually or have already cared about someone who either turned their back on us and proved to be a "fake friend", or have been in a relationship where we are head over heels for someone who saw us as mere company in their teenage life. Repeatedly, Smith sings "say it first", to his significant other, begging them to show signs of their love and devotion first so he can know that he won't be left in the dust again. I love this song because I have the same issue, with friends and in past relationships. Sometimes you can care too much for people who don't reciprocate the same love. So, don't get too attached too quick my friends, because as Sam Wong would say, there are snakes in the grass 🐍.
