Kim King - 'Amazing'

Lyrics:

[INTRO]
Amazing, Amazing yeahhhhh
Your love is amazing, amazing yeahh

[VERSE 1]
He's so masculine anything I ask of him
I got it, even if I don't need it
He's the sole reason that I'm sprung
And I wanna show recognition for all you are
He's so sweet to me, boo the way you speak
Make me wanna just push aside everything I'm doing
To get beside my knight and shining armour

[CHORUS]
Baby your love is amazing (your love)
Taking me high to places I've never seen before
And I need your loving more and more and more (more and more and more)
Baby your love is amazing
Don't know how to come down off this high I feel
Cos boy your love is surreal surreal surreal

[VERSE 2]
Boo it's like you flew in and saved the day
I've been waiting so long for a man so strong
Who can pick up everything I put down
For a girl he holds it down
...... whenever I call him
And yes its all him...
And I won't trade him for nothing

[CHORUS]
Baby your love is amazing
Taking me high to places I've never seen before (and I cant help it)
And I need your loving more and more and more (more and more and more ooh yeahh)
Baby your love is amazing (your love is amazing) 
Don't know how to come down off this high I feel (can somebody help me sing it) 
Cos boy your love is surreal surreal surreal (your love...)

[OUTRO]
Boo your love's so real to me
Just like......
You make a woman say, ohhhhh (x3)
(Baby hear me when I say)
Boo your love just spoils me
I know....
You make a woman just stutter oh oh oh oh
You make a woman just stutter

[CHORUS]
Baby your love is amazing
Taking me high to places I've never seen before
And I need your loving more and more and more
Baby your love is amazing
Don't know how to come down off this high I feel
Cos boy your love is surreal surreal surreal

Analysing the lyrics

The artist seems to be singing about how great her boyfriend is and why she loves him. Her boyfriend seems to meet the criteria of the archetypal man in a relationship as he provides for the artist as she sings 'anything I ask of him I got it, even if I don't need it'. She also states that he makes her want to just drop all of her plans to be with him - 'Make me wanna just push aside everything I'm doing
to get beside my knight and shining armour'. In the chorus the artist sings 'boy your love is surreal surreal surreal' this connotes that she has never experienced this kind of love before as it seems different to her in a positive way, signifying that this is the best relationship she has been in. She sings in verse 2 ' it's like you flew in and saved the day', this signified that this man that she is currently in a relationship with has saved her from someone, herself or a bad situation and that for this she is grateful, so not only is he her love but also her hero enhancing the strength of her love. In the third and final verse we hear her sing 'you make a woman just stutter', connoting that her boyfriend really knows how to treat a woman leaving them speechless, from this we understand that he is a gentleman.

Analysing the music

The artists slowly progresses into the main body of the song because it is typical of the R&B/Soul genre.

Analysing the tempo

The tempo of the song is mellow, smoothing and slow.

How would you use the song in a music video

In a music video I would mix the song with some performance and narrative elements. I would have a female lip syncing the lyrics whilst she is with a group of her female friends on the phone to him singing how he makes her feel. Then I would cut to some footage of the woman and her boyfriend together looking in love.
