| Bethany Joy Galeotti – Little Children (Feat. Amber Sweeney) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song can have many different meanings depending on the context you decide to interpret it with. On the one hand there are very strong Christian themes within the song seen with the beginning imagery of a devil tempting someone to leave "that man," who could with this interpretation could be Jesus or God. Then the song moves into an up tempo revolt against that temptation with the declaration that: I'm not going to my grave, I've got a lot to live for, I'm not rocking in my faith I've got a lot to hope for So it becomes a song about triumphing over that temptation which was trying to rock that person's faith. And then at the end the song becomes almost a lullaby which invokes a sense of innocence and protection, sort of calling to that innocence inside all of us that is so evident when we are children but becomes buried when we are adults. This is further heightened by the very end of the song, which isn't included here, where the beginning verse of the children's game/song "Miss Mary Mac" is sung as the song ends. I also think that the song can be viewed from a different viewpoint that doesn't necessarily have religious tones, it could be talking about a marriage or relationship and the struggles with temptation that are involved or even just struggles with temptation in every day life. I think that no matter they way one interprets the song though it is definitely uplifting and holds a really positive message about hope and faith and conquering obstacles. |

| Bethany Joy Galeotti – Home Is Me - You Are Mine (Feat. Amber Sweeney) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is a great torch song which I think really invokes that sense of longing for someone who is far away. Amber and Joy wrote this song for the troops and it beautifully invokes the sense of loss and sadness that comes with having a loved one go off to war and the worry that comes with knowing that they are far away and may not return. Yet at the same time there is sense of standing firm and being strong for that loved one who is fighting in a battle and performing their duty. There is a sense that the loved one who is far away is kept close in the hearts and memories of those at home so that they are never really as "distant as they seem" nor are the easily replaced. And for the loved one that is at war and far away, home can not only be found in the place that they have left behind but most importantly within the loved ones who are waiting for them to return safely - it's a beautiful song. | |
| Bethany Joy Galeotti – Scheming Star Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think this song gives a great description of the seductiveness of falling in love and the way that love can have such a hold on a person and how it can invoke so many conflicting and confusing emotions all at the same time. I think it perfectly describes the "mystical" nature of love whereby it can make someone feel like they are a fool, or that they have been ensnared somehow with no escape and yet at the same time they do not want to escape even if they can't fully understand what has happened to them. | |
