Matthew Perryman Jones and 12 Years A Slave
Today I have a song for you by an artist that I have totally fell in love with, Matthew Perryman Jones. I heard this song a long while ago and totally forgot about it until I heard it again recently. Every time I hear this song, I get shivers from how hauntingly beautiful this song is. There is a raw emotion and beauty to this song.

This song has such a perfect simplicity to it, with mainly a guitar and piano to accompany the beautiful vocals. It takes a special kind of voice to really pull at your heart and make you feel the depth of emotion. Matthew Perryman Jones does exactly that with moments of a calm strength and other moments of a shining falsetto. One cannot help but feel everything he feels, the sadness and pain but the happiness and love that he craves when being the only one for her. There is something about this song that makes it applicable
