Singer-songwriter Cheryl Craigie created a breathtaking new version of “I’m Only Me When I’m With You” through which she delivered an ethereal and profound reinvention that seeps into hearts and souls right away. Through a piano-based arrangement Massachusetts-based artist Cheryl Craigie extracts Taylor Swift’s energetic original song to express its emotional depth.
We enter a deeply personal musical realm from the moment Craigie’s vocals blend with rich velvety tones and the piano’s beautiful warm chords during the first waltz of the track. Through her powerful acting Craigie lends each majestic melodic line both noteworthy sincerity and genuine emotional exposure which transforms familiar lyrics into a magical composition. Craigie delivers her extraordinary vocal talent through graceful notes ascending and descending the melody’s peaks and valleys.
The breathtaking arrangement achieves its ascendence to transcendence through its exquisite details. At centerstage Craigie delivers her impassioned vocal performance with full attention while Eric Goldberg’s subtle orchestration surrounding her like delicate morning growth. Each strategically crafted instrumental touch in this recording builds extraordinary depth and profound beauty by combining tender string notes with subtle kick drum patterns and minimal rhythmic support.
The two different musical styles of deep emotional piano balladry and full-scale orchestral production merge seamlessly because of the extraordinary talent exhibited by both performers. Through her remarkable talent to embrace the emotional core of any track Craigie has created another masterpiece that matches the greatness of her past works. This beautiful version serves both as an introduction for new listeners and as a revelation for established fans who expect new artistic achievements from this significant musical voice. Despite starting with something familiar Craigie demonstrates that emotional truth transforms anything familiar into profound and transformative beauty.
