Scared of Beautiful

About Scared of Beautiful

"Scared of Beautiful" is a song by American recording artist Brandy Norwood from her sixth studio album, Two Eleven (2012). It was written by Frank Ocean, Warryn Campbell and Breyon Prescott while production was handled by Campbell and Prescott. Not specifically written for Norwood, the song was one out of several songs Ocean crafted with production duo Midi Mafia. It was later submitted to her team, with whom she recorded a new version with a widely different instrumental for her album, consisting essentially of synthesizers and electric guitars. A mid-paced R&B ballad, "Scared of Beautiful" finds Norwood, as the protagonist, thinking about self and self-growth and being fearless. Considered by Norwood as one of her favorites, the song was originally conceived as a duet between Norwood and Ocean, but required last-minute recording sessions with Ocean failed to materialize prior to the album's release. "Scared of Beautiful" was generally well received by music critics who complimented its production as well as Ocean's aurally remarkable influence. Some of them also described the song as a "frantic" ballad and called it the highlight of the record. Following the release of Two Eleven, "Scared of Beautiful" charted at number 48 on the South Korean International Singles Chart, based on downloads alone. The song was part of Norwood' set list at a spot date in Rams Head Live!, held in Baltimore, Maryland in November 2011. more »

Turn the lamp on
Let me talk to ya
See that light bulb
Does something to ya
Makes it little harder
To tell a lie don't it
Make it difficult
To run and hide don't it
Told your truth to me
The truth to me
Come close to me
If that's you
I wanna see the details
Inside those beautiful eyes
(Beautiful eyes)

Myself ain't never talked to me like that before
And I wonder
What on earth is he searching for

No wonder why
There's no mirrors on these walls no more
You can't tell me why
Your so terrified of beautiful
Scared of the good
More than the evil
Scared of the light
More than the dark
Scared of a truth so much more than a lie
I'm scared for me
I'm scared of me
Scared of beautiful

Turn the lamp down
Don't talk to me
That light bulb took something from me
Gave something to me
I can't decide
I can't decide
I took freedom
Gave purpose
Can't blame him to perfect
All this beauty ever came
It was reason for some beautiful life

Myself ain't never talked to me like that before
And I wonder
What on earth is he searching for

No wonder why
There's no mirrors on these walls no more
You can't tell me why
Your so terrified of beautiful
Scared of the good
More than the evil
Scared of the light
More than the dark
Scared of a truth so much more than a lie
I'm scared for me

I'm scared of me

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all
Mirror mirror oh your so
Unfair to all of the beautiful ones oh

No wonder why
There's no mirrors on these walls no more
You can't tell me why
Your so terrified of beautiful
Scared of the good
More than the evil
Scared of the light
More than the dark
Scared of a truth so much more than a lie
I'm scared for me
I'm scared of me
I'm scared of me
I'm scared of me

I'm scared to be beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful

Brandy

Brandy (from brandywine, derived from Dutch brandewijn—"burnt wine") is a spirit produced by distilling wine. Brandy generally contains 35–60% alcohol by volume (70–120 US proof) and is typically taken as an after-dinner drink. Some brandies are aged in wooden casks, while some are simply coloured with caramel colouring to imitate the effect of such aging (and some brandies are produced using a combination of both aging and colouring). more »
