Conor Maynard ft. Felicity Abbott | Take Care Cover

Some things are so coincidental. There is a reason why I’m a fan of many Drake songs. Last year, songs like Alicia Keys ft. Drake - Unthinkable, Drake – Fireworks, Drake – Shut it Down, Nicki Minaj. ft. Drake – Moment for Life were part of my year’s soundtrack. Today thoughts were running through my mind, and right then this song started playing. I started searching youtube for covers, trying to find one that would be a better sound for the feeling I was having. But with searching, no one really did justice of the song, particularly with Rihanna’s lines.

When I got home, I felt the need to write a blog post. Now, if you read my blog you may notice that I tend to link a song to each post. Sometimes the song is just one that I have stuck in my head, but more than often, the song actually plays a pretty big part. I carefully pick my songs, and while I write, it plays in the background. It’s what sets the mood for me.

Funny enough, right when I was searching for a song, one of my favorite youtube cover artists uploaded a new cover. It was this song. What are the chances of that? And it’s perfectly executed. Conor Maynard is an amazing cover artist. He also covers many other Drake songs amazingly, like Marvin’s Room and Good Ones Go.

I think I’m quite observant of one’s mannerisms. I wouldn’t say I’m completely oblivious to things. Others might think otherwise, but I guess I’m one to let go of the grander gestures. Instead I’m more likely to notice and appreciate the small ones. It’s the actions one does unknowingly, naturally and without thought. That’s what I’ll read to know how someone really feels about me. Though I’m a words of affirmation person, I think that the smaller actions are more important to me. Sometimes, you really don’t need to say a word to express how you feel. Maybe these actions are like gifts, a gift of a moment. I know that sounds pretty darn corny, or maybe it doesn’t even make sense, but yeah. I’m quite forgetful, but when I have a moment with someone, it’s something that stays with me.

It’s when someone looks up past the camera for that one second when taking a picture. I’ll know.

I’m not one to ask for help. I like to put up the image of being independent and strong on my own. And I can, I can take care of myself. But I think he sees past that, past what the camera sees. It’s easy to trust someone when you feel like they understand you. But everyone does things in life with intentions. It’s whether or not you can trust their intentions enough to show your vulnerability. I know I won’t be at my best this year, so there is going to be risk. All I can really do is take my time.
