When you listen to a song or some lyrics, what sort of images do you conjure up in your mind? Do you imagine a sunflower field when the artist sings of love, or do you see a couple, a blue sky? How do you interpret your favourite lyrics?
Here are a few of our favourite lyrics and the aesthetics we think they scream out:
"Let me tell you what I wish I'd known when I was young and dreamed of glory: You have no control who lives, who dies, who tells your story."
— Hamilton, ‘Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story’“Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword. Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, I should know.”
— Hozier, ‘From Eden’"And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears and love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. Get over your hill and see what you find there, with grace in your heart and flowers in your hair."
— Mumford & Sons, ‘After The Storm’"Did you see the frightened ones? Did you hear the falling bombs? Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?"
— Pink Floyd, ‘Goodbye Blue Sky’"I see friends shaking hands, saying, 'How do you do?' They're really saying, 'I love you.'"
— Louis Armstrong, ‘What a Wonderful World’“We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl. Year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found?"
— Pink Floyd, ‘Wish You Were Here’“Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise. So casually cruel in the name of being honest."
— Taylor Swift, ‘All Too Well’“You can't always get what you want. But, if you try sometime, you find you get what you need."
— The Rolling Stones, ‘You Can't Always Get What You Want’ “Look at the way we live. I wasn't hidin' my kid from the world, I was hidin' the world from my kid. From empty souls who just wake up and look to debate. Until you starin' at your seed, you can never relate.”
— Drake, ‘Emotionless’“There are places I'll remember all my life, though some have changed. Some forever, not for better. Some have gone, and some remain. All these places had their moments with lovers and friends, I still can recall. Some are dead, and some are living. In my life, I've loved them all.”
