In a world overflowing with noise, sometimes all it takes is a voice and a guitar to make you stop, listen, and feel. That’s exactly what John Foster accomplishes with his acoustic track, “Someone to Sing to.” It’s a simple song—but in that simplicity lies its power.
From the first few notes, Foster draws the listener into an intimate, vulnerable space. The soft acoustic guitar sets the mood, while his voice—calm, sincere, and rich with emotion—carries the weight of someone who has lived the words he’s singing. There’s no need for overproduction or flair. This song doesn’t shout for your attention; it quietly earns it.
And maybe that’s the most beautiful part.
Listening to “Someone to Sing to” feels like sharing a quiet moment with an old friend. There’s a warmth in Foster’s delivery that makes the song feel deeply personal—as if you’re sitting across from him on a quiet night, and he’s trusting you with his story.
He doesn’t perform the song. He shares it.
The lyrics speak to the universal longing to be seen, to be heard—to have someone simply stay. “It’s not a love song in the traditional sense,” one fan commented. “It’s a song about needing connection in its most human form.” That’s what makes it so deeply moving.
This song gains even more emotional weight when paired with Foster’s American Idol journey—especially his original song “Tell That Angel I Love Her,” written in memory of his late friend Maggie Dunn.
