Listening to the Music
Harmony of Solace: Zephaniah OHora's Musical Escape
Lyrics
Listening to radio alone in my room
Engaging in solitary radio listening in a personal space.
thinking back on yesterday
Reflecting on past experiences from yesterday.
an old time country song comes on
A classic country song from the past begins to play.
and I forget my troubles
The music helps the listener forget their troubles.
Listening to the music once again
Reveling in the joy of music once again.
One time back in 89
Recalling a specific moment in 1989.
on a Sunday in early autumn
Describing a Sunday in early autumn.
it hit me with that old time hymn
The impact of an old hymn from that time.
sent a shiver down my spine
The hymn evokes a physical response, a shiver.
and then I felt the great divine
A sense of a divine or spiritual connection.
Listening to the music once again
Rediscovering the magic of music again.
Let the singer sing the song
Encouraging the singer to convey their song.
And the guitar play the chord
Highlighting the importance of the guitar's role in the music.
And I'm right where I belong
Feeling a sense of belonging in the music's glory.
In the glory of the song
Embracing the beauty of the song.
Living in times of war
Living in a challenging era marked by war and evil.
with evils that plague the earth
Expressing the difficulty in finding valuable things in such times.
it's hard to find anything of worth
Reflecting on the hardships of the world.
and in my moment of despair
In a moment of despair, finding solace in music.
I find something there
Discovering something meaningful through music.
Listening to the music once again
Reiterating the joy of listening to music once again.
