| Norah Jones – Light as a Feather Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The line is "God, you, and I together" Also the 9th line is "All for the better, worse for the wear" This is my favorite song on the new album as well. Ryan Adams co-wrote this song with her.. they make an amazing duo. I see this song as the ending of a relationship. The first verse acknowledges that only time has contol after a breakup and that people separate their belongings in hopes of putting themselves back together as individuals, no longer as a couple. "Put our hands together to applaud or prey It's like the show is over but we're too scared to walk away All for the better worse for the wear" -Verse 3 suggests that the people in this relationship know it's over but they are too scared to move on. They know that in the end it's for the better but in the moment it weighs heavily on them. "We're light as a feather God you and I together Meanwhile outside me, it was raining stones You didn't know God bless your soul" - For me, this evokes the image of a woman whose soul and mind are light as a feather but stones are painfully raining down on her body and it's wearing. Also, her ex-lover is clueless as to the pain she feels yet she is not bitter towards him. This is just what i see when i hear the song. Norah and Ryan sure did write some beautiful lyrics! |
