Jump to the third line, and it says she's been loving that someone for a thousand years. Within a year that is a solid 365.25 (remember Leap Year) deaths! Ouch. I don't care who you are, that's a lot of dying. It's that damn chorus that my brain keeps twisting and over-thinking until it's just bits and pieces.ĭarling, don't be afraid I have loved you Her voice is beautiful, the song is constructed well, and so I have no complaints on the overall song.

What really started my brain cogs turning was the first part of the chorus. The song is specifically written to depict a scenario that is romantically and emotionally powerful in a supernatural world. While reading through this, keep in mind that I understand how ridiculous an analysis of a popular song is, and a song connected to a huge hit movie franchise no less. The following analysis was one I started on my way to work yesterday. I say that not to brag or say how awesome I am, but just to give a little background.Ĭombine my love and knowledge of music with my tendency to be analytical and literal and you get an environment of weirdness in my car ride back and forth to work that could be considered interesting to say the least. But in music history including but not limited to coursework on The Beatles (two courses actually), Elvis, Jazz, and the History of Rock and Roll. Not how to actually make music, because I am fairly sure I am not skilled in that area. I love music so much that I took nearly all of my college electives in music related courses. No matter what I am doing, I have either a radio or my electronic device on and pushing out tunes into my immediate area because I love music.

I am constantly surrounded by music and sound.
