Sun Leads Me On – Half Moon Run
Well I’m going where the sun leads me on
Where I’m bound to ginger tea and sickly dogs
Where I always disappear but I’m never really gone
Yes I’m going to where the sun leads me on
I am loathe to lose anything
I have chose to refuse many things
Yes I’m leaving till the sun brings me home
Till I’m no longer lost, just free to roam
And in this life may I never be alone
‘Cause I’ll be going till the sun brings me home
I am loathe to lose anything
I have chose to refuse many things
Yes I’m leaving where the sun calls my name
Where the skies shed their weight and cease to rain
I have gone but forever I remain
To be changing while the sun stays the same
Ooo for the life of me
I’ll be changing, but the sun stays the same
Ooo
1. I believe this song is about letting go of your worries and thinking about things bigger than you, like the sun. He sings that he will “be changing but the sun stays the same.” Meaning life moves fast but if you take a step back and think about it, were very insignificant in this universe and we shouldn’t let our worries consume us. We should find a place whether its actually real as he describe or even metaphorically that makes us happier, and trust that good things will come.
2. The writer here sounds as if he’s talking to himself or the Earth as a whole but not to another person. Maybe explaining what he needs to do for himself, to himself.
3. This song uses many cliches and the language is very abstract. Ex. “The skies shed their weight.” and “Im leaving till the sun brings me home.”
The denotation of this chorus line “The sun stays the same” could literally mean that the sun is not going to change because it is just a star in the sky. But the connotation is that we think too much of our miniscule lives and we should acknowledge that things around us are always constant.
4.This song could be described as melancholy but also hopeful. Words that set this tone are “Till I’m no longer lost, just free to roam” and “I remain to be changing.”
5. The lines in this short are not long or short, usually range from 4-9 words in each line. The rhyme scheme for most of the song is AA, BB, CC…
6. There is a lot of symbolism and imagery in this writing. “Where I always disappear but I’m never really gone.” This artist also uses personification when he says “Where the sun calls my name.”
7. I think this song does a good job to affect the listeners mood and make them think about themselves, their own feelings, and experiences.
