The best truth you never had

This is the song that started it all, and the 3rd installment of the BEYONCE SERIES. The reason it is the beginning of the whole process of analzing the album is because I follow one of the albums producers and I heard so much praise about this song. 

SO WHAT OF THE PRODUCTION...
There is a nice piano melody and it sounds almost like a live band as opposed to the product of a production kit.  It gives you the feeling of triumph and that you can survive and move on with hope.  Or maybe that's just the Lyrics?

I WOULD ADVISE BROTHAS TO STEER CLEAR OF THE VIDEO...THAT GIRL B IS ALL LINGERIED UP AND TEMPTING FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE VIDEO.

The song is about when you find out the real person beneath the front most people put up when they 1st meet someone.  You know we 1st meet someone, we are always on our best behavior, in our "impress mode" and all swaggered up like a peacock.  Eventually we let our guard down as the relationship grows.  People can only hold up a front for so long, then the desires that enslave them pull the realness out of their character.  We all go through this stage in relationships, so is this why many connect to this song?

The song reminds me of the warning in the Song of Solomon about GUARDING YOUR HEART, and a saying I've recently heard; "when someone tells you who they are, believe them!"

I always tell the young ladies in high school to allow time to uncover the lies before they give up too much to someone.  They should be waiting on marrige anyway.

TIME AND TRUTH GO HAND IN HAND.

Its sad how many teens feel they cannot do without sex for a short period of time.  They end up HAVING a lot of the worst "things" unlike how the song says.  Do the lyrics mean she didn't sleep with the guy?  I hope so, but as 2 Timothy says,"men will be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God."  Which begs the questions...what does she mean by "never had?" I just pray that as many of you ladies connect with this song, that you are keeping yourselves for that right person...fellas too.  What use is reliving past people you had to let go while singing "THE BEST THING I NEVER HAD" but they actually "had" you....multiple times even?

THERE SHOULD BE MORE THINGS YOU NEVER HAD, THAN THINGS YOU HAVE HAD.

RATINGS
THE SONG IS RECYCLABLE (slight changes would improve)
@Children: should not even listen to this song, not just because of the use of a cuss word
@Teens: could identify with the song, best you sit and have a conversation with a mature adult.
@Adults: great song to have some real deep talks with those you love
@EVERYONE (including me) THINK OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO SIN WHEN YOU HEAR THIS.
