“I’m not the only one” - by Sam Smith
My opinion in “I’m not the only one” by Sam Smith is that he is relating this song to people who have experienced what it’s like and how it feels to be cheated on. Cheating is a daily occurrence in society today and you can’t really relate to it unless you yourself have experienced it. The emotions and heartache that follow cheating are almost what feels like impossible to overcome. Sam Smith uses parts of his songs to describe what it feels like such as the line “I have loved you for many years, Maybe I am just not enough, You've made me realize my deepest fear, By lying and tearing us up.” That line is describing how that being cheated on makes you feel like you were never worth it enough to be loyal too. You finally realize that the person you've loved for such a long time has been lying to you and never thought you deserved to know the truth. The tone of the song Sam Smith sings in is a complete somber desperate tone. The beat of the song and the way he sings it, it automatically screams heartbreak. His voice sings in such tragedy that you can almost feel how upset he is and how much pain he is in. Sam Smith also sings in such a way that you can almost predict how his song is playing out. Along with the music video he made, you have a pretty good idea of the imagery his song is creating. When he says “For months on end I've had my doubts, Denying every tear..” You can almost envision tears streaming down his face as he sings the song. It helps you get a good feel of how he truly feels. Overall his song hits deep with many people who have gone through exactly what he’s singing about which is why it’s been a huge hit. Sam Smith did an excellent putting his feelings and words into a song and making it feel like a reality. His points are very clear that cheating hurts and you shouldn't ever do it to someone that loves you.
