Background
If you're looking for a song that will make you cry, look no further than "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi. It's a beautiful and sad song that he wrote after his grandma passed away, but it can also apply to anyone who has lost someone they loved whether it's a partner, a friend or a family member.
The song is a pop ballad with just piano, vocals, and it came out in 2018 as part of his EP called Breach. Later, he put it on his first album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, which is a pretty funny name for such a serious album.
He wrote the song with some other guys who also produced it, and they did a great job. The song was a big hit all over the world, and it got nominated and won some awards too. The song also helped a lot of people learn about organ donation because the video had Lewis' cousin in it, who is a famous actor called Peter Capaldi. He played a man who lost his wife, but then he got to hear her heart beating again in another woman who got her heart as a transplant. It was a very touching and powerful video.
Lyrics
Meaning
The song "Someone You Loved" has very simple words, but they make you feel a lot of things. The song has two verses, a chorus a bridge and each part have a different mood and message. The first verse tells us how the singer feels after losing someone he loved. And feels like he's sinking, and he has no one to help him or make him feel better.
He says he needs someone to listen to him, to understand him, to love him, and to hug him. These are things that everyone needs, but he doesn't have them anymore. And also says that he liked how the person he loved made his pain go away, which means that he had some problems or sadness before they met.
Tone Style Rhyme
The chorus is the part that everyone remembers and sings along to, and it says the main idea of the song: the singer trusted someone and opened up to them, but then they left him and broke his heart. And says he was getting used to being someone they loved, which means that he liked feeling important and special to them, but also that he changed himself or did things for them.
Verse
The second verse is like the first one, but it has some changes and more details. The singer says he has no one to talk to, instead of no one to help him, which shows that he feels more alone and hopeless. And he needs someone to hear him instead of someone to understand him, which means that he wants to share his emotions and be heard.
Bridge
The bridge is the shortest and most powerful part of the song, and it shows a little bit of hope or memory in the singer's voice. He tends to close his eyes when it hurts, which means that he tries to ignore the truth or pretend something else. And says he falls into their arms and feels safe in their sound until he comes back around, which means that he thinks of being with them again and feeling their love and comfort.
