The song I will discuss here is called Songbird sung by Eva Cassidy
For you there'll be no crying
For you the sun will be shining
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's all right I know it's right
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you I love you I love you
Like never before
To you I would give the world
To you I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's all right I know it's right
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you I love you I love you
Like never before Like never before
Like never before
My interpretation of the theme of this song is an old fashioned cliche: Love conquers all. The subject of this song is love. The lyrics stated a girl's feelings for a guy whom she loves. According to her, everything will be alright when he was standing next to her and her love for him was so strong that she was willing to give everything she has to him. This song isn't anywhere near a narrative, the writer( song writer) is basically referring her feelings to a physical event. For instance, in her first sentence: "For you, there will be no more crime". It is saying, because of you( in this song, is referred to her lover) , there will be no more crime. From there she threw in another reference of her feelings to a physical event. Afterwards, she immediately stated the reason why . The reason was because when he was with her and so everything will be alright. The chorus used Songbirds as an analogy of their love and she also repeated of how much she loved him throughout the song. The song than used the same paragraph structure to finish the rest of the song. From the above, it was obvious that the subject of this song is about love. I, however, would like to again explain why I think the theme is what I have stated: Love conquers all. First of all, the girl stated as long as her lover is with her, everything will be alright. In this case, love conquered all the difficulties one can encounter in the cold harsh reality. I think the chorus is obvious and will require no further explanation. The second part of the song stated that for him she will give the world and everything she has...In this case, love also conquered everything: the world.
