Demo of the Week: “You Around Me”
Writers: Thomas Finchum, Cameron Cunningham, Brandon Ratcliff
Vibe: Romantic, expressive, supportive. The song you play to say “I love you” without those words.
Key lyrics: “You can be you around me / Oh won’t you let me be the one to set you free / I could be your safe haven when your heart’s lost at sea / I can be just about anything that you’ll ever need / You can be you, you can be you around me”
Could be a good fit for: Other artists could make this great as well, but this song feels distinctly Keith Urban and would make a great cut for him.
X factor: It’s straightforward, and gives the ultimate relationship gift: that of loving someone just as they really are.
