“Beauty” — Dru Hill (1998): Admiration, Restraint, and the Evolution of Longing
Update: 2025-10-23
Description
1998. Dru Hill released “Beauty” — a song that taught us how admiration can be tender, restrained, and profoundly intimate. In this episode of I Talk To Myself Sometimes, Antoinette Arrington dissects the emotions behind the melody: the quiet recognition of love from afar, the suspended space between yearning and access, and the self-reflection that comes with time. “Beauty” isn’t just about someone else — it’s about what their presence awakens in us, and how we learn to see ourselves more clearly through that mirror. Listen as we explore desire, dignity, and the kind of connection that lingers long after the song ends.
