| Sara Bareilles – My Love Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I agree 100% with the user above who compared this song to Fairytale (I never noticed that before, so thanks for pointing it out)! This is a song about a love song and the hero that everyone wishes for. The poignant tone of her voice suggests to me that she's been unlucky in love, or maybe just damaged, and she needs to find the one person on earth who can put her back together. My favorite line, and the one that really told me what the song is about, is : "I don't need answers, I'll just know/ cause I've read the sonnets about his soul." So utterly beautiful, it floors me every time. The final line, about how she wants to be made anything but a fool, means to me that she doesn't want to keep chasing men she believes to be perfect for her, then being revealed as a fool when they inevitably break her heart. The yearning in this song is just so painful, both in the lyrics and Sara's brilliant voice. I think this song will speak to everyone, because no matter how callous someone is, I don't beleiev anyone can help but yearn to find their other half. Sorry my post is so rambling, this song just gets to me. Especially the fact that what she wishes so badly for might very well never come true. |
