As Real As You And Me
Rihanna · Other Songs - Rihanna
There could be a fatal disease
I know we hate to think about it
But this as real as you and me
This as real as you and me
We could all fall down
Before our Saviour could return
I know we hate to think about it
But it's as real as you and me
If I should go
Hold my hand
If I should leave
Darling cover me, please
The earth could quake to ruin
We could drift off in our sleep
I know we hate to think about it
But this as real as you and me
This as real as you and me
The ocean crushed the shore
And take us down forevermore
I know we hate to think about it
But this as real as you and me
If I should go
Hold my hand
If I should leave
Darling cover me, please
I know we hate to think about it
But it's as real as you and me
It's as real as you and me
As Real As You And Me
Released in 2012, "As Real As You And Me" stands as a pivotal track in Rihanna's evolution from pop icon to R&B soulful artist. Recorded during the height of her *Unapologetic* era, the song marks a deliberate departure from her earlier dance-pop sound, embracing a warmer, more intimate vocal delivery that defines her mature discography. Featuring a smooth, minimalist production that highlights her vocal range and emotional depth, the recording serves as a bridge between her chart-topping hits and her subsequent work with Bad Boy Records. The song reflects a period where Rihanna focused on crafting timeless, soulful ballads that emphasized lyrical vulnerability over high-energy performance, cementing her status as a versatile vocalist capable of navigating both mainstream pop and sophisticated R&B landscapes.
