“You’re the only one I want…you’re the only one I need in my life.” This is a love song but the object of the singer’s love multiplies. From the initial listen, one could say the singer is referring to a romantic partner. However, after an additional listen you can also infer that she is singing to herself.  The object of the song is that the singer has finally come to a place of aligning herself with Spirit—who knows maybe she’s singing to them too. The possibilities can go on and on, but her desire and love and the clarity of them both are the message. She’s affirming her worthiness of love and is accepting it as her own.

ONLY ONE

This is the first installment of my weekly 90sec song series. “Not Missing You” goes through the journey of someone uncertain of their future after a curveball was thrown at them. A new norm of facing life without the person they were once closest to. From wanting to hear “I’m proud of you” to reclaiming their own sense of self, time, and pace of their journey. The writer goes from speaking to an ex, to saying goodbye to her old self.
