SQotD: You And Me And One Spotlight

 Hey Guys, I'm back. I wrote a blog post yesterday, but somehow it didn't work, so I'm making a new one. I had to force myself to do this, because I think I'm running out of things to say. Actually I'm not, so I'll do this more often, but you can expect that most of them will just be me commenting on my favorite songs.
       I want to say something about this song by Yellowcard. As you know I love each and every song by Yellowcard, but there is always lines that I pick out that are my favorite. Mine in this song is:
We are ready
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me through the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Say you'll get me through the ending


     What I get from each line is interesting. It reminds me of our relationship with Christ and our Heavenly Father. We said, We are ready (We are ready)and we came down to earth. We plead that he will be all around us (Say you will be all around me). The symbolism of Christ's body sets us free in that we would be lost, but we need Christ to save us with the atonement to save our hearts from the bonds of slavery (When  your body sets your heart free). We ask to him to be around us all the way to the ending (Say you will be all around me. When  Say You'll guide me through the ending). Then we commend our body into the lord's hands so that we can serve him (Take my body set my heart free). Once again we pray and say, Lord, Say you will be all around me. Say you'll guide through the ending. Say you will be all around me.
       Even though this is surely not the way the song was intended, I really like my take on it. I've got the lyrics on there, and I'll connect a video of the song. Have a great day. It's good to be back.


You and Me and One Spotlight - Yellowcard

It won't be long now
The music's on loud
We'll sing this song out
And then we'll lie down
I'll hold you close then
I'll let you know when
The space and time bend
And then we'll fall in

Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
We are ready

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me

I'll look for your eyes
To keep me inside
When everything dies
But one last sunrise
And when we stand there together not scared
I'll dry your last tear
And then we're just air

Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and not much time
To watch the world burning bright

We are ready
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me through the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Say you'll get me through the ending

Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
It won't be long now

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me through the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Say you'll get me through the ending
Say you will be (you won't be long)
All around me (you won't be long now)
