I can't believe this song has no comments yet! I only discovered it recently and I fell in love with it by the first three seconds. The intro reminds me of glitter falling, it's beautiful. <3 To me, this song has a lot to do with being idealistic and dreamy and absolutely glowing with a passion for what you're doing. The bridge ("You can't change the world with a song, and you can't make it right when it's wrong") is like she is reprimanding herself for a moment, reminding herself that dreaming big doesn't actually make things happen. And then the chorus comes in and it's like "Oh, what the hell. This (music) is a beautiful and unstoppable thing and someday you'll realise that too, but until then I'm just going to revel in it." TL;DR, the chorus reminds me a lot of 'haters gonna hate'. The verses, I think, are related to songwriting and how inspiration is hard to catch, but when you finally do it's a one-in-a-million thing that you have to work with until it shows itself as music. The middle eight ("If that's what it was to you...") is like shying away from the whole extolling-music thing, denying that she's enchanted by music any more than the next person - probably because someone thinks she's a weirdo for feeling so...and then the chorus comes back and you know what that means. :) I know it sounds silly, but it reminds me a lot of myself. So it's very easy to overanalyse it...sorry! :D |
