Lee Miller Matsos’ ‘The Only One’ is a rousing and stirring piece of pop rock that’s all about having you pick yourself up when you’re down at your lowest. From a sorrowful opening that you might empathize with at life’s lowest points, the song expresses deep and prolonged angst and grief, then slowly transitions toward acceptance and loving your life for what it is right now. You find yourself so inspired while listening to it, understanding that while we all may be rife and flooded with regrets, our life is to be treasured and valued at all moments. There’s no point holing ourselves up and losing out on moments to come only because we regret what we’ve been through in the past.
“The Only One” reminds us that we are the protagonists of our own stories, and our lives are worth living.
