Music that sounds like the lyrics

[FuzzyPlum]

I find the music to warm ways evocative of the lyrics….kind of.
For some reason I get the sense of the song being set by the sea. I imagine Christine waking up early morning next to her lover in a house by a beach. Maybe Malibu beach or something.

I can see that. Its funny how music makes us picture settings. The Oh Daddy track makes me think of a magical forest at sunrise. I can totally sense the gentle surf against the shore during Warm Ways. Its morning there too.

Mystified…..the whole musical arrangement conveys something magical and mystifying. But in particular when she sings ‘the light that shines around you….’ There’s a twinkling guitar (or are they keys? IDK). The sound really conveys a sparkling, twinkling light.

That's where she and John were living when she wrote that, in their tiny 'bedsitter' (as she called it) on the beach-- she said it was basically one room with a balcony...she wrote it on a Hohner 'Pianette' that she kept in the alcove that was their bedroom. When the interviewer asked John if he was there, he said no, but chris insisted, 'You were!! You were reading!!' Apparently he had no recollection lol

On “Dragonfly,” you hear three or four broken chords strummed which sound like an English garden, followed by an electric guitar figure that sort of bobs up and down and sideways as if to mimic the hovering of a dragonfly.

When Christine launches up an octave on “I’m OUT of my mind” on “Only Over You,” it’s like hearing a woman who’s a little out of her mind — one octave out of her mind, to be precise.

Somebody mentioned the brushes on “Sara” sounding like a heartbeat, which is cool — I see it — but the “Dreams” drum is also heartbeat-like.

Kind of like, "Some WHERE OVER THE RAINBOW" as if to jump up there.
