Combining folk with acoustic pop elements and beginning in 2003, Milow released his debut album, The Bigger Picture, in 2006 on his own label Homerun Records. The fourth single from that album, "You Don't Know," became one of the biggest hit singles of the year in Belgium in 2007.
Milow's acoustic cover of 50 Cent's "Ayo Technology," released in 2008, stayed on the charts for over 340 weeks in 14 different countries. The video also went viral on YouTube with over 50 million views. Milow followed the immense success of the single by quickly releasing a self-titled studio album. Three years later, he has sold over 650,000 albums and more than 1.15 million singles.
“North and South,” recorded in Belgium and partially mixed in Los Angeles by two-time Grammy-winner Tony Maserati (Beyonce Knowles, Jason Mraz, Robbie Robertson), was released in 2011. The mastering was done in New York City by Dave Kutch (The Roots, Erykah Badu, Outkast). The video for the first single, “You and Me (In My Pocket),” is available on YouTube.
One Of It
Milow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a midnight appetite
Nobody believes me now
I ran across and
Saw thousand people on my way
On my way on my way out
One of it, two of it
The most of it
You'll love it
You left me out there
In the early morning rain
Why would you believe me now
I'm only trying
To protect my point of view
I want you to let me in
And you'll try
To give me something to give me something
We're onto something we're onto something
Let's try
Can you count me in
Can you count me in
Milow's song "One Of It" is a hauntingly beautiful serenade that speaks of feeling lost and alone after experiencing heartbreak. The song opens with the lines "You came over, like a midnight appetite, nobody believes me now", which suggest that the singer is remembering the moment their relationship ended. They feel like they were hungry for love, but it turned out to be a fleeting moment that nobody else seems to understand or believe in. As the song progresses, the lyrics "I ran across and saw a thousand people on my way" suggest that the singer is trying to escape from the memory of the relationship gone wrong, but they are unable to do so. They keep running and encountering other people, but they remain lost and isolated.
The chorus of the song, with its repetition of "One of it, two of it, one of it, we'll make the most of it, you'll love it" expresses a sense of desperation to make the relationship work. The singer is willing to do whatever it takes to salvage the love they lost. However, in the second verse, the lyrics "You left me out there in the early morning rain, why would you believe me now, I'm only trying to protect my point of view, I want you to let me in" suggest that the singer is struggling to convince their former partner to give them another chance. As the song approaches its climax, the lyrics "And you'll try to give me something, to give me something, we're onto something, we're onto something, let's try" suggest that both parties are willing to give their love another chance, but there is still uncertainty and trepidation.
Overall, Milow's "One Of It" is a melancholy exploration of lost love and the struggle to regain it. The lyrics are poetic and evocative, and the gentle, acoustic guitar sound of the instrumentals enhances the introspective nature of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
You came over
You appeared or arrived in my life
Like a midnight appetite
You came unexpectedly and left me craving for more
Nobody believes me now
No one trusts or accepts my version of the events
I ran across and
I hurriedly crossed over and
Saw thousand people on my way
I encountered numerous individuals during my journey
On my way on my way out
During my exit or departure
One of it, two of it
Some portion or degree of what's happening
One of it, we'll make
Let's make the best of what we have
The most of it
Extract the greatest benefit out of the given situation
You'll love it
You'll enjoy or appreciate the experience
You left me out there
You abandoned me in that place or situation.
In the early morning rain
During the rainy hours of early morning
Why would you believe me now
What's the reason for you to trust me at this moment?
I'm only trying
I'm attempting to
To protect my point of view
To safeguard my perspective or opinion
I want you to let me in
I desire to be allowed to participate or contribute
And you'll try
And you'll make an effort
To give me something to give me something
To provide me with something of value
We're onto something we're onto something
We're pursuing an idea or a plan with potential
Let's try
Let's attempt or experiment
Can you count me in
Can I be included or involved?
