Discovering Love's Resilience in Oregon Grey Melodies
Lyrics
I’ve been searching
I have been searching
For a song to sing to you
Looking for a song to dedicate to you
To sing to you
Repetition for emphasis on the intention to sing to the listener
I’ve been lookin’ now,
Continuing the search for a significant song
For a song to ring
Searching for a song with a meaningful impact
To ring, to ring
Repetition for emphasis on the desire for a resonant song
Ring in that news
Expressing a desire to share important news through music
You’re ma Darlin’
An affectionate term for the listener, emphasizing closeness
You are the best of the best
A declaration of the listener being the best
Ooooh ooohhhh
Exclamation expressing strong emotions
Starlight and smilin’
Mention of starlight and smiles, suggesting a positive atmosphere
Hear the birds squark
Noticing the sound of birds squawking
Come out on to the beach
Invitation to come to the beach, indicating a desire for shared experiences
Oooohh
Repetition of exclamation, possibly indicating excitement or joy
Of that lonely island
Referring to a lonely island, suggesting isolation or a desire for connection
Well, it’s our kind
Claiming a unique identity or belonging
That’ll make the most of our Eme
Belief that their kind will make the most of a certain time or situation
Our Eme, our Eme
Repetition for emphasis on making the most of a particular moment
Most of our Eme
Continuing emphasis on maximizing their time or opportunities
But we’re hunted
Acknowledgment of being pursued or facing challenges
Hunted for our pelts
Being pursued for their pelts, possibly a metaphor for being valued or hunted
In a winter where no snow melts
Describing a challenging winter where there is no relief
So deep voice
Advising to put on a warm coat in preparation for difficulties
Put your warmest coat on
Emphasizing the perennial coldness of the environment
It’s always gonna be cold ou
Stating the enduring coldness of the surroundings
