It’s not often that a song strikes me so much that I post it here. In fact, it’s been two years since I have. But, Beneath Your Beautiful by Labrinth featuring Emeli Sande did.
Take a listen. It’s a beautiful song about the walls and masks we wear every day. And, the someone who wants to see behind the wall.
Song Lyrics:
“Beneath Your Beautiful”
(feat. Emeli Sandé)
You tell all the boys “No”
You’ve carried on so long,
You couldn’t stop if you tried it.
You’ve built your wall so high
That no one could climb it,
But I’m gonna try.
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don’t it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a boy say, “Please, don’t hurt me”
You’ve carried on so long
You couldn’t stop if you tried it.
You’ve built your wall so high
That no one could climb it.
But I’m gonna try
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, boy, take it off now, boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, tonight?
See beneath, see beneath,
I…
Tonight
I…
I’m gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I’ll hold your hand and then we’ll jump right out
We’ll be falling, falling but that’s OK
‘Cause I’ll be right here
I just wanna know
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl (take it off now, boy,take it off now, boy)
‘Cause I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, oh, oh, tonight?
See beneath your beautiful, oh, tonight.
We ain’t perfect, we ain’t perfect, no.
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
They did a great job on this track, it’s very moving! Labrinths “Beneath Your Beautiful” EP drops on 8/27, can’t wait! I was also really impressed with his acoustic performance of “Earthquake” it gave the song a totally different feel!
