Such a calm, beautiful song.

It's good for lazy Sundays and for reflecting upon your life.

I also think it would make a beautiful wedding-themed song. She just wants to wake up to see her loved one next to her. On her wedding day, she is beginning a new life. She wants to take in the day, where loved ones show to see them off on this new beginning. She reflects on those who couldn't be there (family, friends) who have passed on before the day. She wants to let go of past regrets and live honestly from this point on. After all, getting rid of baggage would be healthy and reflects on the sky "such a clear blue" - which is metaphoric for a clean slate and clarity. Would make a great wedding video song!

My Opinion
