Jesse Ruben - Future
From the first twenty seconds of the music video for “Future,” the latest single from singer/songwriter, Jesse Ruben, you are hooked and there’s no way you’re turning off this video until the very end. At the start of the music video, Ruben shows the shot of his real proposal to his wife, Jen. The rest of “Future” is a timeline of their love story (so far) shown through pictures, video clips, as well as footage from Jesse and Jen’s wedding day.
While the music video for “Future” is a charming visual representation of their love story, the song also captures their relationship through this musical portrayal. Ruben’s soft, smooth vocals blend perfectly with this romantic ballad as he sings lyrics like “you’re soft and sweet like rose petals,” “you’re tall and strong like a skyscraper,” and “you comfort me like an old sweater.” His poetic, relatable style of songwriting has the listener thinking, “Damn, why couldn’t I have thought of that!” For listeners who have already found the love of their life, “Future” is a reminder of that love. Those who have yet to come across that same love, it will have you yearning to find a love like Jesse and Jen’s (and maybe asking if Jesse has a single brother).
Jesse Ruben’s single, “Future” is guaranteed to be added to the playlist at many weddings in the future, as I’m sure he’s already gotten messages requesting a live performance at those weddings. The beautifully written music and lyrics of “Future” make it the ideal song to add to any love story’s soundtrack.
