Kenny Rankin - Hiding In Myself
Review by Adeline Pla
Kenny Rankin's 1988 album, "Hiding In Myself," is a masterful showcase of the singer-songwriter's talent. With a smooth voice and a knack for crafting memorable melodies, Rankin delivers a collection of songs that are both introspective and emotionally resonant.
The album's title track, "Hiding In Myself," sets the tone with its haunting piano intro and introspective lyrics about feeling lost and alone. From there, Rankin takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions, from the wistful longing of "I Don't Want To Lose You" to the romantic optimism of "I've Just Seen A Face."
Throughout the album, Rankin's voice is the star of the show, effortlessly gliding through each song with a sense of ease and grace. The instrumentation is understated but effective, with tasteful arrangements that never overshadow Rankin's vocals.
Standout tracks include the soulful "Maybe You'll Be There," the jazzy "When Sunny Gets Blue," and the upbeat "It Must Be You."

He wrote this song me
One of my fevorite love song..
I'm a Gen Z and I kept hearing this song on the radio on Sundays when my grandfather sleeps in the afternoon. I kept asking him what the title is but he never knew. Glad that i finally found this. Such a good song?
My heart is longing for a woman who really loves me
Miss u Kenny.., rio. Love, Andy, Ann J.
I've been so alone all my life
I couldn't give my heart to anyone
Hiding in myself was a man
Who needed to be held like everyone
The days moved into years
I look for warmth between the tears
It never ever found me
Never ever found me
Yes, I did seem to grasp at straws
They surely broke all the time
So I hid inside
Till I almost died
Yes I hid inside and I cried
A loving heart in a sensitive man
Hiding inside myself
Then you came out of nowhere
I could not believe my heart
I didn't know how to tell you
Didn't know where to start
When I hid inside
I almost died
Oh, I hid inside and I cried
A loving heart in a sensitive man
I know you'll understand
I love you...
I couldn't give my heart to anyone
Hiding in myself was a man
Who needed to be held like everyone
The days moved into years
I look for warmth between the tears
It never ever found me
Never ever found me
Yes, I did seem to grasp at straws
They surely broke all the time
So I hid inside
Till I almost died
Yes I hid inside and I cried
A loving heart in a sensitive man
Hiding inside myself
Then you came out of nowhere
I could not believe my heart
I didn't know how to tell you
Didn't know where to start
When I hid inside
I almost died
Oh, I hid inside and I cried
A loving heart in a sensitive man
I know you'll understand
I love you...
