There is lots to love in each of Eli Lev’s recordings. He manages to bend and manipulate various influences from multiple genres in a way that serves the individual song while at the same time placing his signature sound at the core of each one. “Be Your Someone” is a well-polished expression of love that rivals anything by John Mayer from a songwriting standpoint, and will certainly be appealing for fans of Mayer from a production standpoint.
There are some really heavy lyrics in various spots in the song such as, “If you hate me, you’re supposed to. I’m that someone, you lean all your weight on,” and each of these moments return to the song’s central theme of: “Tonight, just let me be your someone.” It is a confidently delivered, and therefore convincing message for those of us who at times feel invisible, much like one of the characters in the moving and heartfelt music video, which you can enjoy below.
