This song is like a sincere and honest confession, an intimate moment where one can stare into the life and soul of these people who for once decided to show us their human side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simply&nbsp;Beautiful<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No flashes, no Hollywood, just their voices, their thoughts, stories, and a guitar. But it is also about true musicianship, and a proof that music is and always will be a bridge between generations and an ultimate element of unity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although melancholic and contrasting, the lyrics have a good vibe around them, and the song is really about hope and a general feeling of feeling good no matter what. Hope this song will inspire other artists to show us their real, human side, beyond the flashes and gossips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Released at the beginning of 2015, FourFiveSeconds&nbsp;is a collaboration between the world-known singer Rihanna, controversial rapper Kanye West and legendary singer-songwriter Paul McCartney.
