Song Analysis 2

"Only You Can Love Me This Way" by Keith Urban

Well I know there's a reason
And I know there's a rhyme
We were meant to be together
That's why
We can role with the punches
We can stroll hand in hand
And when I say it's forever you understand

That you're always in my heart
Always on my mind
And when it all becomes too much
You're never far behind
And there's no one that comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way

I could have turned a different corner
I could have gone another place
Then I'd never had this feeling
That I feel today

And you're always in my heart
You're always on my mind
When it all becomes too much
You're never far behind
And there's no one that comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way

And you're always in my heart
You're always on my mind
And when it all becomes too much
You're never far behind
And there's no one that comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way

Only you can love me this way


This song is about his partner and how only she can love him the way he loves her. Keith Urban mainly writes about love and heartbreak. He is arguably one of the most heartfelt country singers.His songs pay more attention to love and heartbreak. Alos, to life experiences and his opinions/views on things. The lyrics "And you're always in my heart/You're always on my mind." show that this person/his partner is always gonna be his love and he can't stop thinking about them. Also, "And there's no one that comes close to you/ Could ever take your place/ 'Cause only you can love me this way" shows alliteration in his lyrics. His songs show good examples of poetic devices and show great tone. Also, his tone helps to show the feeling he has in his voice and the pain or feeling he has.

Song Analysis #1

Help Me Remember By Rascal Flatts
I know that you're leavin'
As soon as the sun
Comes through the window
There's no talking this over
The damage is done
There's just too much hurt
Too much to forgive
Oh, but we both know
We were'nt always like this

CHORUS
Help me remember
The way that we used to be
When nothin' else mattered
"cause you were lovin' me
Just for the night, one last time
One more good memory
When I look back
That's what I wanna see

Oh, help me remember

Those days that were so good
Those nights that we held
Held on forever
When we weren't pretenders
We were as real as we felt
Oh, I don't want to fight anymore
Don't want the last thing I hear tonight
To be a slammin' door
Baby, let it be like before

Repeat Chorus

This could be the last time
I look in your eyes

Help me remember
The way that it used to be
When nothin' else mattered
'Cause you were lovin' me
Oh, help me remember
Oh, help me, help me
Oh, oh, oh, oh-

FADE

This song is about a tough relationship. The two were in love and they forgot what they had and he needs her to help him remember the good times. Also that the two had an amazing relationship in the beginning and then it just turned out that they can't stand each other anymore, but he just wants one good memory of the two of them together before they go their seperare ways. "Oh, help me remember/Those days that we held/ Held on forever/ When we weren't pretenders/ We were as real as we felt/ Oh, I don't want to fight anymore/ Don't want the last thing I hear tonight/ To be a slammin' door/ Baby, let it be like before". The tone of this song is sad and you can feel the pain of the heartbreak that he is going through.
