You Are The Reason (Duet Version) (feat. Barbara Pravi)

Calum Scott's 'You Are The Reason (Duet Version)' featuring Barbara Pravi is a poignant ballad that delves deep into the themes of love, longing, and reconciliation. The song opens with a heart-wrenching admission of vulnerability, as the protagonist's heart beats for the person they love, who is no longer present. The lyrics, 'I'm losing my sleep, please come back now,' set the tone for a narrative filled with emotional turmoil and a desperate plea for reunion.

Barbara Pravi's French verses add a layer of poetic melancholy, comparing the fragility of their love to the fleeting light of autumn. The imagery of autumn, with its connotations of change and decay, underscores the sense of loss and the passage of time. Pravi's lines, 'Comme les lueurs fragile du soleil à l'automne, mon coeur se défilent, défait de toi,' evoke a vivid picture of a heart unraveling in the absence of its beloved, enhancing the song's emotional depth.

The chorus, a powerful declaration of need, 'Oh, 'cause I need you to see that you are the reason,' is a universal cry for understanding and connection. The duet's harmonies amplify the sense of shared pain and longing, making the listener feel the weight of their separation. The repeated plea to 'come a little closer' and the desire to end the fights and tears highlight the yearning for reconciliation and the hope for a future where love can flourish without fear or regret. This song beautifully captures the essence of human vulnerability and the profound impact of love on our lives.
