Newsboys – Something Beautiful

I wanna start it over
I wanna start again
There’s a new beginning
One without an end
I feel it inside
Calling out to me

IT’S A VOICE THAT WHISPERS MY NAME
IT’S A KISS WITHOUT ANY SHAME
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
LIKE A SONG THAT STIRS IN MY HEAD
SINGING LOVE WILL TAKE US WHERE
SOMETHING'S BEAUTIFUL

I’ve heard it in the silence
Seen it on a face
I’ve felt it in a long hour
Like a sweet embrace
I know this is true
It's calling out to me

[Repeat Chorus]

IT’S THE CHILD ON HER WEDDING DAY
IT’S THE DADDY THAT GIVES HER AWAY—FATHER
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
WHEN WE LAUGH SO HARD WE CRY
OH THE LOVE BETWEEN YOU AND I
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

    General CommentI really like the way this song sounds--it kinds of gives a sense of timelessness. I think this fits the idea of the song well, at least to me, because I think it's talking about the pure and irrevocable pleasure that simple things in life can give you, but the things that are pointed out are just examples, and the wonderful thing is that this song is just a celebration that this world is full of things that can make us happy, even though we might not even realize it sometimes. It's like a celebration of that "YES" feeling when you just did something that you never thought you could do. In another sense, I think that the song is kind of a tribute not only for experiences, but for the ability to observe the world, as in the idea of Ralph Waldo Emerson's transparent eyeballs, and marvel in the detectable wonder that it has, as if it were a painting.

    General CommentI heard this song recently on the radio. It has a nice beat, very unique. Which is desperately needed in song lyrics. This "love" song is more than loving your lover or breaking up with them... it's matrimony. Something "beautiful". Pure. It keeps me in a good mood every time I hear it.

    My OpinionExcellent song. My sister found it on YouTube and I listened and I really like it. I was never clear on whether he said "child" or "chime". Now i am.
    Cheers to good music!

    General Commenti love this song, and in my opinion in the beginning of the song i believe he talks about starting over his life now in Christ and by having that love and being filled with the spirit of the Lord he sees all that is beautiful in this world, for me that "something beautiful" his Gods love for every man, woman, boy, and girl that lives on this planet
