"Love Yourself" by The Boxer Rebellion – A Song Review

      In their most recent release, The Boxer Rebellion addresses mental and emotional stability. As advice, “First thing I'll say is ‘You gotta love yourself.’”

     Quoting content from The Boxer Rebellion:
  "In this age of connectivity, for all its celebration and wonderment, it seems impossible to not be just as affected by the suffering of others, whether those in trouble are close to you or not. Every day our papers are filled with heart-breaking stories of loss due to natural causes, forced displacement, ill physical and/or mental health, or, indeed, victimisation at the hands of others. ‘Love Yourself’ is a song about all of these things - drawing primarily from my own experiences. My intention when I wrote the song was to try and deliver hope in the face of hopelessness, albeit during a moment of deep self-reflection."

      The Boxer Rebellion are based in London. the  Nathan Nicholson (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Andrew Smith (lead guitar), Adam Harrison (bass guitar), and Peirs Hewitt (drums).

Lyrics of "Love Yourself" by The Boxer Rebellion
You told yourself
"I'd write a letter today"
Tell the world that you would hurt yourself
Can't look in mirror, much less anyone else

You try to move on from here
But you look like a ghost, alive
You can't think, always running in place
A lost soul that won't show his face

But I know
You're just someone
Who's feeling all alone
You're just someone
Who doesn't seem to know
Which way to turn
If you just ask for help
If you just ask for help
First thing I'll say is “You gotta love yourself”

Find it hard to take
Hard to take even the best of praise
A pair of hands that became too tough
A growing armor for whatever they might touch

But I know
You're just someone
Who's feeling all alone
You're just someone
Who doesn't seem to know
Which way to turn
If you just ask for help
If you just ask for help
First thing I'll say is “You gotta love yourself”

But I know
You're just someone
Who's feeling all alone
You're just someone
Who doesn't seem to know
Which way to turn
If you just ask for help
If you just ask for help
First thing I'll say is “You gotta love yourself”
You gotta love yourself
You gotta love yourself
