John Legend delivers a compelling message of acceptance, beauty and self love through various women in the music video for "You & I (Nobody in the World)," the fourth single, serves as the follow-up to his chart-topping ballad "All of Me," to be lifted off Legend's fourth album, "Love in the Future." Legend is known for making the hearts of women melt with his love songs. Think his "All of Me" took all the tears out of you? Think again. The delicate master of soul's newest simple-but-beautiful clip is as exquisite and heartbreaking (or heartwarming) as you'd expect.
The emotional number highlights various life occurrences in the everyday life of a female. In the song, the 35-year-old Legend is telling the woman in his life that he believes she is perfect just the way she is. The song lyrics read, "You fix your make up, just so, Guess you don't know, that your beautiful, Try on every dress that you own, You were fine in my eyes, a half hour ago." Adding, "All of the stars, they don't shine brighter than you are, Ain't nobody in the world but you and I."
Legend helps promote positive body image with the powerful and stirring video, which begins with a familiar scene. As he sits on his bed, waiting, supermodel wife Chrissy Teigan stares straight ahead as she tucks her hair behind her ears, as if in front of a mirror before this scene cuts to others of women of all races, ages and sizes with their respective flaws looking at themselves in the mirror and trying to adjust their already perfect selves. The video shows clips of women from all walks of life and taking in their reflection.
A cancer patient removes her wig, a topless pregnant lady shows off her belly, a woman trying on clothes, a young girl getting her ears pierced, a pregnant lady showing off her baby bump and another woman crying while removing her bra to reveal her mastectomy. "Orange Is the New Black" star Laverne Cox also stars in it and wiping off make up from her face. Some look dismayed by what they see, which is heartbreaking. Others look pleased, as if they can hear Legend sing his words of encouragement: "You were fine in my eyes, a half and hour ago." Their sad faces turn into smiling faces as they embrace their differences, flaws and all. Watch the celebration of individuality.
