LyricsAnywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see How every single promise I'll keep 'Cause what kind of guy would I be If I was to leave when you need me most What are words If you really don't mean them When you say them What are words If they're only for good times Then that's all When it's love Yeah, you say them out loud Those words, they never go away They live on, even when we're gone And I know an angel was sent just for me And I know I'm meant to be where I am And I'm gonna be Standing right beside her tonight And I'm gonna be by your side I would never leave when she needs me most What are words If you really don't mean them When you say them What are words If they're only for good times Then they're done When it's love Yeah, you say them out loud Those words, they never go away They live on, even when we're gone Anywhere you are, I am near Anywhere you go, I'll be there And I'm gonna be here forever more Every single promise I'll keep 'Cause what kind of guy would I be If I was to leave when you need me most I'm forever keeping my angel close |
Basic InformationSong: What are Words
Artist: Chris Medina Album: What are Words Released: 2011 YouTube Link: youtu.be/nQY4dIxY1H4 Demonstration This is one of my favorite songs in the playlist. It is obvious that this song is depicting a love story. But I didn't mean to choose this song to describe the love story between Sophie and Howl. Besides, for me, this song is also emphasizing the importance and solemnness of oath.
Actually, in this novel, Howl appears in an image of a notorious, hypocritical, and lecherous wizard. You may curious about why I use this beautiful song to reflect such a negative character. To be honest, I cared a lot about the detail that Howl never makes a promise to anyone at first. Because of the contract with the fire demon, Calcifer, Howl lost his own mind and became lazy, childish and timid. He is afraid of taking the consequences of the promise, so he never makes one. After being saved by Sophie, Howl found his own mind and firstly made his promise to live happily with Sophie. I think this song is well suitable to reflect the change of Howl. |
