For this week’s vibes, I chose a song that has always struck me with its honesty and simplicity — Say You Won’t Let Go by James Arthur. It isn’t just a love song in the typical sense; it’s a story about finding someone who makes life softer, brighter, and worth holding onto through all the seasons. The words of the song potrays and carry this quiet kind of devotion, the type that doesn’t shout or try too hard, but simply stays, no matter what.
Singing it reminded me of how music has this rare ability to put feelings into words we sometimes don’t know how to express. I tried to approach it gently, letting the emotion breathe on its own, rather than dressing it up too much. I wanted it to feel real, like you’re sitting across from someone and hearing their heart pour out naturally.
This week, my cover is less about performance and more about connection, about capturing the little moments of love and presence that mean the most when everything else fades. I hope when you listen, you can feel that sense of sincerity too. Sometimes the simplest songs end up saying the deepest things
Lyrics:
I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up
Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, "I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest"
I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
