“I’m only up when you’re not down. Don’t wanna fly if you’re still on the ground.” Taylor Swift wins hearts with words like these. How? Is this what true love feels? Yes, and those who have been here will remain here with discretion, just like Cheryl. ‘I’m Only Me When I’m With You’ by Cheryl Craigie is a beautiful cover version of one of our favourite Swiftie songs in Ballad style. Cheryl Craigie’s rendition of ‘I’m Only Me When I’m With You’ is a heartfelt, more soul-filled, and refreshing take on the beloved song. The song is a rendezvous of soft piano keys and Cragie’s earthy voice deepened with time. It’s a variation that is absolutely stunning and much more enlivening as a love song. Cheryl has given this song an aura of reminiscence. Given a choice, I will listen to Craigie’s ‘I’m Only Me When I’m With You’ on repeat.
