Hello Hive Open Mic family!
For Week 305, themed “Spotlight,” I chose to sing “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi.
This song puts the spotlight on emotions we don’t always talk about openly, loss, vulnerability, and the quiet ache that comes after love fades. Sometimes, the spotlight isn’t about being seen for success or talent, but about shining light on feelings many people carry silently. This song does exactly that for me.
Singing “Someone You Loved” felt like giving space to honesty and raw emotion. It reflects moments when we realize how much someone meant to us only after they’re gone, and how difficult it can be to find our footing again. I believe those moments deserve to be acknowledged, not hidden.
Through this performance, I hope to highlight the beauty in being honest with our emotions and remind someone listening that it’s okay to feel, to grieve, and to heal at their own pace. Music has a powerful way of bringing hidden feelings into the light, and this is my way of sharing that moment.
Thank you for listening.
Lyrics
I'm going under and I fear this time there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
It's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
And now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down
And you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now, I need somebody to know
Somebody to heal
Somebody to have
Just to know how it feels
It's easy to say but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
And now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down
And you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
And now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down
And you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
