The poem examines what one’s ‘heart’ most desires: a common theme in lyric poetry. Allow yourself to dig deep into the lyrics of the next song you listen to.So begins this short lyric poem from the prolific nineteenth-century American poet Emily Dickinson (1830-86). Poetry is everywhere and really in every song. In this piano ballad, the poetic “I” implores for a statement from his lover to make the lyrical voice stay. These lines express the sorrow and humility we feel when we decide to leave someone we love.
I think we all have faced the moment described above. “ Say Something,” written by Ian Axel & Chad King In troubled times we need it more than ever. “ The Power of Love,” written by Peter Gill, Brian Nash, Holly Johnson & Mark O’Toole It is a delightful sensation when we discover like-minded people who love our wild, strange birds. The strange birds in this song are a beautiful metaphor for all of our peculiarities. It is difficult to find a kindred spirit, be it a friend or a lover, who understands us exactly as we are. “ Strange Birds,” written by Sia Furler & Birdy Sam Cooke wrote “A Change Is Gonna Come” as a protest song to support black Americans who fought for equality during The Civil Rights movement. “A Change Is Gonna Come” is a song that is more than a song-it is an anthem for civil rights and a message of optimism for all mankind. It’s been a long time, a long time comingīut I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will Oh and just like the river I’ve been running ever since “ A Change Is Gonna Come,” written by Sam Cooke No matter how hard we try, our will is just not there, and sooner or later we must leave. The entire song “Another Love” is an elegy to that very situation. We cannot be in a relationship if our soul is with someone else. I brought you daffodils in a pretty stringīut they won’t flower like they did last springĪnd I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care
