Your Man by Aonair

It’s a song about possession and love. It was a period when the Me Too movement was happening. It seemed every day was another community coming forward and calling out the horrific acts that had happened. I was writing a lot about it, when things like this happen I feel like you are presented with an opportunity to be a part of a solution. I wanted to do something in my own small way so I wrote Your Man, among a few other songs that dealt with consent, possession and toxic masculinity. Your Man is about loving someone without feeling the need to control them, but actually just recognizing that you are two equal and independent people having a positive impact on each other’s lives.

Lyrics

long distance shotgun wed
to the corners of a single bed
long to be lost and found
around you now

I heard the call from the mission bell
I heard a voice in the wishing well, I
Just might just let you in

Cause now I’m your man OH
now I’m your man OH
I’m your man

My heart misplaced one so still
I felt the vacancy once distilled I
Long to be anything
Around you now

Cuz im born with a lonely heart
That arrest every time we part
There is no implication
I’m stating plain that I’m not the same when Im

Your man OH
I’m your man OH
I’m your man

So many men try to hold right from the start
But I can hold you close, with no chain around your heart
If I feel for you like I do you’ve gotta be free
So if you see the same say the word and let me be

Your man OH
Now I'm your man
At least sat that I’ve a leading hand
OH
Now I’m Your Man OH
OH
