"Beautiful (Remix)" by Bazzi (feat. Camila Cabello)

I heard this song on the radio a couple weeks ago and instantly fell in love with it. It was released last year but it only recently hit the radio here in SA. I don't know why - I thought living in a big(ger) city would give me more insight into new stuff coming out but apparently, living in TX doesn't make me as cool as living in L.A. or NYC would. Even during my visit to Colorado Springs, I heard shit that still hasn't made it here or I only recently started hearing on the radio. I know....lame. But that's why the internet exists, right? Music and porn. 

I find this song really romantic, albeit in an uber Millennial way. "The way that Gucci look on you...Amazing! But nothing can compare to when you're naked." Well, I appreciate the honesty. Personally, I actually do think I look better naked (for a lot of girls, it's the opposite) so a guy who agrees would go right to the top of the Favorites List. I also like that it's a duet - I love collaborations and it seems like that's the big thing nowadays. Camila Cabello has been one of my favorites this year - she has another song I have queued up for this month - but every single that she's put out so far has caught my attention in some way or another. I'd also like to say that Hispanic girls are kinda having a moment (at least as far as music goes) and I'm super happy to be here for that. 

Oh my God, where did the time go?

I wish the hours would go slow

How is it 6 AM?

Your touch is heaven-sent

Beautiful, beautiful sight right now

Beautiful, beautiful life right now

Got the angels singing ooh-ah right now like, ooh-ah

And this is why we’ve got to touch (ah)

Sometimes words are not enough (no)

Painted in your golden kiss, honey dripping from your lips

I thank God and my lucky stars

Darling, don't you know what you are?

Yeah, baby, you are

There's not much to say about this song. It's pretty obvious what it's about. Two people are in love and they're just happy to be around each other. So much so that they wish time would slow down. And they love everything about each other, even the not-so-great stuff (love your imperfections, every hang up). Yep, pretty sappy shit. I don't know how I find all this cheesy stuff - I swear, it finds me sometimes. That's just who I am, I guess. True story: I've written more love letters than I'd care to admit....I've even actually given them to the people they were intended for. That doesn't always work out so great but - hey - at least I know I'm brave enough to be honest about it. I wrote a letter to "The Muse" once (fortunately, he's not that anymore - I should really come up with a different pseudonym for him if I refer to him again). I wonder what he did with it - that was some pretty good fucking writing, if I remember correctly. Probably tossed it. Ah well....what can you do? It was a learning moment in my life and, now, I can look back on it and smile at my young heart. Poor thing....it must still be pretty young, especially if it still loves mushy love songs and romantic comedies.

I didn't realize the song had an official video but - OMFG! - it's just as ridiculously schmaltzy as I was hoping. They recreate the Romeo + Juliet Fish Tank Scene!! This is not a drill! Also, I've been seeing that costume idea a lot, so I think the Universe is telling me I need to be an angel for Halloween next year (just kidding - I just decided that's what I want to do so I'm gonna do it). Not a slutty angel, though - like one of those angels where you can tell the girl just put on a white dress, glitter and some angel wings, and called it good. You know - a lazy angel. Video below - enjoy!
