Benson Boone: Beautiful Things and Beyond the Myths

I didn’t plan to write about Benson Boone today. But like many powerful things, his music landed exactly when I needed it.

The first time I heard Beautiful Things, I paused mid-scroll. His voice—pure. The arrangement—gorgeous. But it was the emotional weight in the lyrics that stopped me in my tracks.

It wasn’t just pretty. It was real.

There’s a reason this song has gone viral, and it’s not just because of great production or TikTok momentum. It’s because Beautiful Things is a mirror. A reminder of how love can make us feel invincible… and how fear can creep in the moment we realize we finally have something to lose.

“Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don’t take
These beautiful things that I’ve got”

We’ve all been there—terrified that the very thing we prayed for might disappear. That joy isn’t permanent. That happiness is somehow borrowed.

But what if that fear isn’t weakness?
What if it’s just proof that our hearts are open again?

Two Sides of the Same Coin

As a singer-songwriter myself, I’ve often explored the space between love and fear. It’s a tension I know intimately—personally, spiritually, creatively. And if you listen to my song Beautiful Addiction, you’ll hear it too.

Where Boone’s lyrics wrestle with the fear of losing something precious, Beautiful Addiction reflects the ache of having lost… and still believing it’s worth it to feel again.

“You’re a beautiful addiction
Something I can’t let go…”

It’s the push-pull between longing and hope. Between wounds and wonder. Between the armor we wear and the soft truth underneath it:
That we still want to be chosen.

Beautiful Things hits so hard not just because it’s a love song, but because it’s a fear song. A human song.
And that’s where healing begins.

Why Emotional Music Matters

We live in a world that tells us to be fine. To move on. To keep it together.
But art doesn’t work that way.
Healing doesn’t work that way.

Music like Boone’s—vulnerable, raw, honest—gives us permission to feel the thing we’ve been avoiding. It cracks us open gently.

We don’t need more perfection. We need resonance.

That’s why I created the Music for Healing playlist on Spotify and YouTube. It’s not just for background noise—it’s a soft place to land. A quiet permission slip to feel what you need to feel.

Fear Isn’t the Enemy

So many of us have finally found something good, only to let fear talk us out of it. We tell ourselves we’re protecting our hearts, but often, we’re just reinforcing old stories.

We say:
“I don’t want to get hurt again.”
“This is too good to be true.”
“If I don’t fully feel it, I won’t fully lose it.”

But that’s not living. That’s survival mode.
And we were made for more.

To love fully—whether it’s a person, a passion, a calling—is to accept that risk is part of the deal. But so is the reward.

You’re allowed to feel both.
You’re allowed to want beautiful things and believe you’re worthy of them.

Your Healing Is Already in Motion

Whether you’re someone who’s afraid to lose what you’ve finally found…
Or someone who lost it long ago and is still learning how to trust again…

Your emotions are not your weakness.
They’re your wisdom.

Let music be your mirror.
Let it show you the parts of yourself that still long to be held.
Then let it remind you—you’re already whole.
