Wild Is the Wind
Embrace the Wild: Love's Dance with the Wind by Esperanza Spalding
Lyrics
Love me, love me
Expressing a desire for love and affection
Love me, say you do
Requesting confirmation of love
Let me fly away with you
Desiring to be with the person, seeking a shared journey
For my love is like the wind
Comparing the depth and nature of love to the unpredictability of the wind
Wild is the wind
Reiterating the wild and unpredictable nature of love
Give me more than one chorus
Asking for more than a simple declaration of love, seeking fulfillment
Satisfy this hungriness
Expressing a deep longing and desire
For we're creatures of the wind
Portraying human beings as beings influenced by the ever-changing nature of love
And wild is the wind
Emphasizing the wild and uncontrollable aspect of love
Wild is the wind
Repeating the idea that love is untamed and free
You touch me
Highlighting the sensory experience of being touched
I hear the sound of mandolins
Associating romantic feelings with the musical sound of mandolins
When you kiss me
Linking the beginning of life and a sense of rebirth to a kiss
With your kiss my life begins
Stressing the transformative power of a kiss
You cling to me
Describing a strong emotional connection and dependency
All things to me
Affirming the significance of the person in the speaker's life
Don't you know your life it's so
Highlighting the importance of the person's existence
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Comparing the person's presence to the stability of a leaf on a tree
So my darling cling to me
Urging the person to stay close, emphasizing emotional attachment
Let my love flow through you
Expressing a desire for love to flow freely
Wild as the wind
Reiterating the untamed and unrestrained quality of love
Wild as the wind
Repeating the comparison of love to the wildness of the wind
As the wind
Emphasizing the unpredictability and intensity of love
Wilder than the wind my love is
Describing the love as even more intense and unrestrained than the wind
Wild as the wind
Reaffirming the wild and free nature of love
Let my heart love you, oh, oh
Expressing a desire for the heart to love as passionately as the wind
As the wind
Comparing the love to the wild and untamed qualities of the wind
Wild as the wind
Reiterating the wild and uncontrollable nature of love
Wild creature of the wind
Describing love as a wild creature influenced by the wind
Love me wild again
Expressing a desire for the person to love passionately and freely
The wind
Ending with a symbolic reference to the wind as a representation of love
