You

Selah Sue's song 'You' is a heartfelt ode to the transformative and healing power of love. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and reliance on a significant other, suggesting that their presence is essential for the singer's well-being. The repeated lines 'Yes, you are all I need / Yes, you are all I want' emphasize the central role this person plays in the singer's life, highlighting a profound emotional connection.

The song opens with a plea for hope and a spark, indicating that the singer is in a place of emotional need. The lines 'Hope a little harder / Hope a little spark will come our way' suggest a desire for something positive to happen, possibly a change or a sign that things will get better. This is followed by 'Crawl a little closer / Holding on to you will save my day,' which underscores the idea that the presence of the loved one is a source of comfort and salvation.

As the song progresses, the lyrics 'Stay a little longer / All I need is time in your embrace' and 'It's always so much better / Never in my life I've felt this way' further illustrate the depth of the singer's feelings. The embrace of the loved one is portrayed as a sanctuary, a place where everything feels right. This emotional dependency is not depicted as a weakness but rather as a testament to the strength and importance of their bond. Selah Sue's soulful delivery and the simplicity of the lyrics make 'You' a powerful expression of love's ability to heal and uplift.
