This week's SOTW is a little hard for me to... interpret. It has a good message, at least I think, but I don't have a firm reasoning of the song's message yet, so you guys will have to tell me what you think!
Save You - Matthew Perryman Jones, Swallow The Sea
"So/Help me decide/Help me to make up/Make up my mind/wouldn't that save you..."
This song and I have been on acquaintance terms since 2007 :P. I heard it once on a TV show, and it just flowed so well with it. More than that, it was an amazing song standalone. The funny thing is, the album wasn't released until August of 2008, so it must've been a long single haha!
Looking for some music on CDL, I found the artist again, and realized it was a Christian song, which surprised me. Although it does happen more nowadays, you don't see many Christian songs being played on TV, and I found it great that this one was able to make it on. The song has a very laid back feel, and the simple acoustic and piano make it an awesome song to listen to.
The song, or as much as I can figure out of it, is talking about indecision and the past of the speaker. The part that gets me the most is the chorus though... Help me decide... to save you? It's a question mark, a mystery I can't quite unravel.
Unfortunately, I do not have much to say on this song, perhaps for the fact that it does not present overtly Christian lyrics. But I believe there is a message that I am missing, and I would love it if you guys could help me find it! I wanted to share this song with you guys because I feel that it does have some message, and I hope that someone could enlighten me on it. So this SOTW is unique. It is my first question mark, a song I don't have a completely unobscured view on. Perhaps that's the way the author wanted it. Perhaps I'm overlooking something important. What do you think?
