What Makes the Irish Heart Beat
Van Morrison's Melodic Reflection: Unveiling the Irish Heart's Rhythm
Lyrics
All that trouble all that grief
All the difficulties and sorrows experienced
That's why I had to leave
Reason for departing
Staying away too tong is in defeat
Staying away for too long signifies failure
Why I'm singing this song
Explanation for singing this particular song
Why I'm heading back home
Reason for returning home
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
Essential element that keeps the Irish heart beating
I'm just like a hobo riding a train
Similarity to a wanderer traveling without a fixed home
I'm like a gangster living in Spain
Comparison to someone living a risky lifestyle in a foreign country
Have to watch my back and I'm running out of time
Feeling of running out of time while being cautious
When I roll the dice again
Metaphor for taking chances
If lady luck will call my name
Hoping for luck to favor
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
Factor contributing to the vitality of the Irish heart
Well that's what makes it beat
Essential aspect causing the heart to beat
When I'm standing on the street
Feeling alive while being in a certain place
And I'm standing underneath this Wrigley's sign
Specifically mentioned location, feeling distant from home
Oh so far away from home
Acknowledgment of being far away
But I know I've got to roam
Understanding the necessity to wander
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
Vital reason for the Irish heart's persistence
And it was off to foreign climes
Recollection of traveling to different places
On the Piccadilly line
Specific location mentioned during travels
We were standing underneath the Wrigley's sign
Reiteration of feeling far from home in a specific location
So far away from home
Recognition of being distanced from home
Well I know I've got to roam
Realization of the need to explore
That s what makes the Irish heart beat
An important element sustaining the Irish heart
Just like a sailor out on the foam
Comparison to a sailor facing challenges at sea
Any port in a storm
Adaptability in difficult situations
Where we tend to burn the candle at both ends
Tendency to live life recklessly
Down the corridors of fame
Pursuit of fame and recognition
Like the spark ignites the flame
Symbolic representation of inspiration
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
Crucial for the vitality of the Irish heart
But I roll the dice again
Metaphor for taking risks again
If lady luck will call my name
Hope for luck to favor once more
That s what makes the Irish heart beat
Integral part of the Irish heart's essence
Oh, that's what makes the Irish heart beat
Reiteration of what sustains the Irish heart
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
Confirmation of what keeps the Irish heart beating
