Alicia Key - No One

When you are in love, you can feel this song 5 fold. If you're not in love, but a dreamer like me, then you aren't left out.

Alicia picked a good single. Making it her first, to me, at first wasn't the smartest because this was not the song that impacted me on the first listen. The keyboard (or organ) in it is fantastic but it just wasn't what we were used to with her...it was really different. And the video was kinda too.

But the more I listened to it, the more I fell in love with the song! Her voice was (and still is!) very, very heartfelt. It starts out with your basic piano arrangement; pretty; lulling; uncomplicated. Then comes in the "organ" and it's nice; fitting. But you continue on, hear the chorus twice, and then the beautiful bridge comes in, and once you've heard it about 5x, you sing along;

"I know-ow....some people search the world..." "To fi-ind...somethin' like what we H A A A A V E." "I know-ow...people will try...try to define...somethin' so R E E A L. So till the end of time...I'm tellin' you that...No one..."

And that's the part that grips you, and makes you continue to sing it, along with Alicia...

Great tune. Will get stuck in your head after a few listens.

4.5 stars.

End Note: Great tune. Might have to sink in after repeated listens. Her second single, Like You'll Never See Me Again is even better, believe it or not..
