Here I’m going to analyse the song Talking to the Moon (One of my favourite songs) for English. Let’s do this! First, you need to understand the song as well so I’ve left in the lyric video to it and a document of the song lyrics so you’re welcome.

My goal is to figure out what the song means in its entirety starting with lyrics. The lyrics go on about personifying the moon, saying how it can listen and communicate, (“I sit by myself talking to the moon.”) and how someone misses you so much that others think they’re crazy. That’s a little creepy but it’s sweet, right? Anyway, the words chosen in the song are very straight forward and what’s great about this song is that it’s easy to figure out due to the lack of metaphors and similes. With that, it’s pretty simple to find out what the song means. The tone and attitude of the song give me an overall heartwarming and comfy effect which is a very pleasant mood to be put in after listening to a song. Style of the song is fairly normal for a song to be, it’s made up of couplets and quatrains, there are about 5 stanzas excluding the effect noises, line groupings and lengths are short so that’s it’s easy to sing out loud, it obviously has a rhyme scheme and the lack of punctuations are normal in song lyrics. The message is that no matter where you are, what you’re doing or who you’re with, someone somewhere cares about you lot. Even if you don’t talk much or see each other a lot, they still care. They care enough to talk to the moon about you and hope that the moon tells you how much they care. This song is great to lift someone’s spirits when they’re having a bad day or just a lovely song to keep you happy for a day or two. Everyone has a bad day once in a while so I think this song can relate to anyone. That’s what I think the meaning is I guess, anyway, that was my song analysis for Talking to the Moon and I hope you enjoyed! Have a great day!
