Beautiful Ones is a song about fiercely expressing romantic , devotional love you have for someone. Beyonce gives full justice to the song, by singing it flawlessly and energetically.
When I first listened to this song, I soaked it up and felt a longing for someone I could dedicate this kind of fierce devotion and love to.
But after a few listens, here’s what happened. Whenever I listen to it,
The song first gets me in touch with my own, driven, devotional side.
Then I’m filled with a powerful feeling of trust that this thing Id devote myself to is so close within my reach, its almost as if its within me. And soon enough I close my eyes and get lost in meditation.
Meditation is powerfully calm awareness.
Its more powerful than any emotion or thought.
Many more such songs make me feel this way, and I dive into meditation.
The fierce song with aggressive high pitches and a lot drum work effortlessly turns into something as steady as a flowing stream, perfectly whole, in its flawless realization of life.
I end up feeling like i took a dip in truth.
Its very humbling.
