Listening to ‘I Wanna Be The One’ by David Sharp felt like hearing a ballad from a Hollywood romantic musical. Set in a ’60s retro era, I imagined my favorite actors playing lovers, with dreams in their eyes. The sound of the piano initiated the song like a key unlocking the heart, while the idyllic chords brought a spring-like charm to the strings. David has a voice that is like a soothing balm with a tinge of the sweet desperation of a lover’s craving to be with the One. The poetry around which ‘I Wanna Be The One’ encircles embraces devotion, reassurance, and an unwavering support kind of love.

In times like today, where love is seemingly found and swiftly lost in the algorithms behind the bright screens on our palms, this song brings back the poise of true love that is found in holding space for each other, understanding, and accepting each other. “You say you’re nothing special, but I see the way you shine.” Right from the start, the lyrics challenge self-doubt and replace it with admiration. “So take my hand, let’s leave the past. I know this love is gonna last.” These lines are like a word of honour, overcoming past heartbreaks and doubts, highlighting the depth of commitment of a kind of love that lives forever. The song is like a reassuring, warm cup of your favourite beverage on an extremely cold, bone-chilling afternoon.
