Shannon’s Pick: No One

I know people will try, try to divide, something so real
So till the end of time I'm telling you there ain't no one

Two people against the world is truly a tale as old as time and with a tale that old there are so many songs to choose from, overwhelmingly so, to be honest.  This one though has always stood out for me. It is perfection in my mind.  I love Alicia Keys voice and the emotion and soul she brings to the song make me love it even more.  The album this was one came out almost 15 years after Larry and I started dating but it still became a song that made me think of the beginning of us.

Larry’s Perspective:

This is one of those rare songs on this journey that I was not familiar with. I have listened to the song off and on knowing Shannon was using it, but I didn't really know her thoughts until tonight.

It fits perfectly in the Us Against The World theme...

No One
Alicia Keys

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feelin'
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feelin'
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know, some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know, people will try
Try to divide something so real
So 'til the end of time I'm telling you there is no one

No one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feelin'
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
