Hey folks, I wanted to write down my experience of diving into the lyrics of “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten today. You know, the kind of song that just gets under your skin in the best way possible. So, I started my day thinking about what makes this song so darn catchy and inspiring.
I decided to dig into the lyrics. Started by listening to the song a few times, really focusing on each word. I played it on repeat, trying to get a feel for the rhythm and the vibe. It’s got this amazing build-up, you know? Starts small and then BAM, hits you with this wave of emotion.
- First, I listened to it. Just a normal playthrough to get that initial feel.
- Then, I played it again, this time writing down the lyrics as I heard them. Got most of them, but some parts were a bit tricky.
- Looked up the official lyrics online. Just to cross-check what I wrote. Turns out, I got some lines mixed up.
After getting the lyrics down, I started to break them down. I mean, what’s the story here? It’s like, someone’s really going through it, you know? They’re talking about being a small boat on the ocean, and how even a single word can make a big impact. It’s powerful stuff.
I spent a good chunk of the afternoon just pondering over these lines. “Like a small boat on the ocean, sending big waves into motion.” That one really got me. It’s like, even the smallest of us can make a huge difference. And the part about having only one match but being able to make an explosion? Chills.
I was curious about Rachel Platten too, and I remember she wrote this song when she was feeling down, and it took her two years to finish the song, she needed it, and it’s become this huge anthem for so many people.
I also learned that Platten had her first child, Violet, about a year ago, and after giving birth, she started to experience symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety. While she was on tour, she experienced regular panic attacks, and she struggled to cope with being a new mom and a touring artist at the same time. I think everyone should have their own fight song to remind themselves not to give up.
My Thoughts
This whole exercise, it really made me appreciate the song on a whole new level. The lyrics of “Fight Song” aren’t just catchy, they’re deep. And knowing the story behind it makes it even more impactful. It’s a reminder that even when we’re feeling down, we’ve got this inner strength, this fight in us. It is so great.
So yeah, that’s been my day. Digging into lyrics, getting all philosophical and stuff. But hey, that’s what music does, right? It makes you feel, think, and reflect. And “Fight Song”? It’s definitely one of those songs that stick with you. If you haven’t really listened to it, give it a go. It might just become your new anthem.
