SEE YOU by Ian Isiah
The voice. Following his critically lauded AUNTIE gospel-funk opus (and its dancefloor-ready remixes), Ian Isiah returns with his most naked, open and vulnerable work yet. “SEE YOU” sees him flowing over nothing but an acoustic guitar: a minimalistic backdrop that allows his vocals to soar. Last week’s performance of the song on COLORS was nothing short of triumphant. It’s a bit of a stylistic turn for us here at Juliet (and yes the track is still produced by Chromeo), but what else do you expect from Ian? Witness Brooklyn’s pan-gender angel take flight.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE BEAUTY
THAT’S IN YOU
CUZ EVEN IN THE DARK WITH MY EYES CLOSED
I SEE YOU
MY MOMMA CALLED ME UP CUZ SHE LIKE YOU
SO WE ALL KOOL
I THOUGHT THIS SHIT WAS FOR FOREVER
THIS SHIT DON’T FEEL LIKE IT’S FOREVER
(Pre)
YOU EVER THINK OF WHAT WE COULD BE
NO CUZ YOU STILL THINKING BOUT THESE NIGGAZ
WHY YOU STILL THINKING BOUT THESE NIGGAZ
EVERYTHING PRETTY AIN’T WHAT YOU SEE
NO CUZ YOU DON’T EVER BELIEVE ME
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ME
(Chorus)
CUZ I SEE YOU
YEA I SEE YOU
BUT YOU NEVER SAW ME
CUZ I SEE YOU
YEA I SEE YOU
BUT YOU NEVER SAW ME
(Verse 2)
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHERE THE TIME FLIES
NO FLIGHT CREW
HAD MY HEART FOR MONTHS WHEN I TOLD YOU
THAT’S OLD NEWS
BUT YOU STILL TRYNNA HEAL FROM THE OLD YOU
AND IT’S ALL KOOL
I THOUGHT WE SIGNED UP FOR FOREVER
THIS SHIT DON’T FEEL LIKE ITS FOREVER
(Pre)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
WOULD IF I LET GO
AND LET ME
BE FREE
PROLLY NEVER KNOW
CUZ YOU NEVER SAW ME
FOR ME
(Chorus)
