Someone Like You
Nutini Paolo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someone like you wasn't meant to be defined
Or confined or even met eye to eye
Just there to be explored and then all the while adored
Someone like you, someone like you

Someone like you, is so beautifully designed
From the hands, all the way to the mind
Just there to be explored, and then all the while adored
Someone like you, someone like you





La la la la lalalalala

This song is so kind, gentle and loving... and the length of it fits perfectly. "Just there to be explored and then all the while adored..." Thank you for making my soul happy, Paolo. Honestly. Your music is giving me the feeling of being in love all over again, and it has nothing to do with a person... I'm completely smitten with your voice and your music.

Where are you my man? We need you back

I've been filling my ears and eyes with Arthur Gunn American Idol 2020. Look him up. When I seen Arthur with the dark glasses on it reminded me of Nutini. They both are extremely unique artists with great fan appeal. I think Nutini's life with fame took him in a direction he did not like. What I last read he was teaching, but who really knows. I listen to what there is of Nutini over and over. Favs: Better Man, Ever Fallen in Love with someone you shouldn't have, Rewind.

@deb4735

Just googled him. He's doing a benefit in Oct 2021 in Glasgow. Hope it's totally safe by then.

@mihirsaxena2530

Deb V I feel ya, Paolo’s voice is just so pure and beautiful, it’s like he really feels what he sings. He seems to make it all actually feel real. Well yeah, Maybe he didn’t want the fame , just wanted pure music. My favs are- Candy, this one, last request and his version of the hard times come again no more

@mihirsaxena2530

Deb V I hope I can see him once in my lifetime

@deb4735

@@mihirsaxena2530 Yes I agree also I think he decided fame was too much, all his music is good, been listening for 2.5 years now. I had a internet romance with a Greek moderator who turned out to be a covert Narcissit... Nutini songs fitted appropriately during that time: Better Man, Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have, Rewind. Never rewound though, by the time I latched on to Rewind I decided to end it 100%, no turning back coverts are pure devil in diguise. The uncanny thing is a pic of the Greek god covert (when young) looked so like Nutini with his dark glasses and similar short on side and crazy all over hair on top. YOU MAY want to take a look at an uprising star talent ....Debesh aka Arthur Gunn just recently 2nd runner up on USA American Idol. He should have won, but maybe best this way, he will do well on his own. USA, Nepal, other coutries love his sound. He put dark glasses on in vid immediately after the announcing of winner. Katy Perry, one of the judges was in the beginning always telling him to open his eyes. With the dark glasses it made me think of the similarities with Paolo Nutini. They are both extremely talented and unique with nonstop likeability charisma. Arthur Gunn OFFICAL YouTube channel and more song choices thru American Idol youtube. Check out earlier songs on his channel my fav is his very first with long hair, barefoot and the sound of that particular guitar. Neighbor peeks over fence at 1.39. He did song/ covered many good ones for American Idol that are not on his channel. Arthur is from Nepal living in Witchta, Kansas USA. So this is my new listening pleasure bringing fresh joy in my heart especially with this coronavirus pandemic. Let me know what you think of Arthur after listening for awhile.
