From the first time I heard this song I absolutely loved it. It also goes without saying that Brian is one of my absolute favorite male artists ever. The beauty in this song is in its simplicity. The melody tells the story without heavy instrumentation. It’s easy to hum and sing along to. Plus, the message is so nice and lovey dovey. It’s one of those songs that belong at a wedding and could have people wiping away happy tears. With so many songs on the airwaves today that make little to no sense, this one is a breath of fresh air. THIS, is real music. 

This is one of my favorite songs (I probably have hundreds) for quite a few reasons. First off, Jazmine Sullivan has such a unique sound. Her voice is unlike any other. One of reasons why this song is great is because it speaks to the trepidation that comes along with loving again after losing the time before. Jazmine even briefly mentions that love may not be enough to sustain the relationship despite the initial step of deciding to love. Which is interesting because the whole premise of the song reminds us that loving again can be scarier than lions, tigers and bears. The great thing is that at the end of the song, there is a decision made to love again despite the risk. Plus, the strings on this song are amazing and the melody is beautiful.
