"Find someone that loves you better than I do, darling, I know."

July - Noah Cyrus

[drowning-faith]

I've been holding my breath

I've been counting to ten

Over something you said.

I've been holding back tears

While you're throwing back beers

I'm alone in bed.

You know I, I'm afraid of change,

Guess that's why we stay the same.

So tell me to leave,

I'll pack my bags, get on the road.

Find someone that loves you

Better than I do, darling, I know.

'Cause you remind me every day

I'm not enough, but I still stay.

Feels like a lifetime

Just trying to get by while we're dying inside.

I've done a lot of things wrong

Loving you being one.

But I can't move on…

- July // Leon Bridges & Noah Cyrus

I’ve been trying to get more variety in my mashups so here is a mashup of two songs by two different artists that I don’t typically cover but I love their work so much.

Circles by post Malone and July by Noah Cyrus are both incredible songs on their own but thematically they complement each other nicely.

I hope you like my mashup of these two great songs on you YouTube channel. More to come!

Better than I do, darling, I know

“Find someone that loves you better than I do, darling I know. Cause you remind me everyday I’m not enough but I still stay.”

-Noah Cyrus

[chaotic-theatrical-weaver]

The “July” duet with Leon Bridges tells a different story than the original and it hurts. In this version, Leon’s speaker gets to sing verse 2 and has a rewritten chorus: “Find someone who gives you all of the things I couldn’t, I know—‘cause I keep fighting all the ways I let you down so I can stay.” When Noah's speaker comes in for "if you want me to leave, then tell me to leave, and baby, I'll go," he sings the "and baby, I'll go" with her, then repeats it on his own.

Why do these changes matter? While the original clearly depicts the speaker as suffering in an abusive relationship, this version paints a picture of two troubled people who can’t communicate and thus recontextualizes some lines in verse 1:

Perhaps “something you said” was simply Leon’s speaker pushing Noah’s away instead of a(n entirely) willful effort at being hurtful. (It also could have been something she misread as hurtful, causing her to withdraw and him to feel inadequate, but the first interpretation is deeper and sadder.)

Him “throwing back beers” may be him trying and failing to cope with his problems (that could be the case in the original, but it's more likely here).

Even the animated music video adds credence to this interpretation:

As she cries, she turns around in shock to see him in the field (she had been looking in a mirror and saw him in the reflection).

He stands in front of her with something like resignation or even disappointment/anger directed at himself in his expression, and then smiles at her briefly before returning to the resigned, disappointed, angry look.

At the end, he does manage to comfort her somewhat, but still seems to retain his sense of shame at his missteps.

What a beautiful form of storytelling--the redistribution of verse 2 and the lyric changes craft a whole new narrative, and I am here for it.

You remind me everyday I'm not enough, but I still stay.

The pain still looms over me like a cloud full of rain

Why do I keep on letting myself be here?

Do I love the pain that much?

Am I really stupid for staying?

Do I deserve this kind of love?

These questions keep me awake at night

I find peace when I'm alone

I find solitude knowing he's not at home

Can I keep things this way?

Make my mornings become my whole day?

And make my whole day become a lifetime

A life without the pain by my side

When will I have the love that I deserve?

When will I be with a someone who really cares about me?

When will I give my love to the right one?

Will I ever have that person?

All these sleepless nights just because of all the pain you've caused me

When will this end or will it just end me?
