CLEAN BANDIT - Symphony (feat. Zara Larsson)

I’ve been hearing symphonies

Before all I heard was silence

A rhapsody for you and me

And every melody is timeless

Life was stringing me along

Then you came and you cut me loose

Was solo singing on my own

Now I can’t find the key without you

*And now your song is on repeat

And I’m dancin' on, to your heartbeat

And when you’re gone, I feel incomplete

So if you want the truth

**I just wanna be part of your symphony

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Symphony

Like a love song on the radio

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

I’m sorry if it’s all too much

Every day you’re here, I’m healing

And I was runnin' outta luck

I never thought I’d find this feeling

'Cause I’ve been hearing symphonies

Before all I heard was silence

A rhapsody for you and me (A rhapsody for you and me)

And every melody is timeless

*

**

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah

*

**

Symphony

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Symphony

Like a love song on the radio

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

The word I learned:

1.      rhapsody

→a piece of music that has no formal structure and expresses powerful feelings

2.      string sb along

→to deceive someone for a long time about what you are really intending to do

Ex:She's been promising to pay back the money for six months, but I think she's just stringing me along.

I like the melody of this song when I first heard. It gave me the comfortable feeling. After that, I found that this song is talking about the two men are homosexual. One of them has been killed in an accident, the man who is alive is shown grieving and visiting the spots where he and his boyfriend used to go. By the end, he has composed a beautiful symphony in his boyfriend's memory.And I like the plot in this mv.
