Lyrical Love

Let's try a new game, shall we? Being as we are writers, I am going to go out on a limb that you, like I, often hear clever lyrics that make you appreciate the song writer's ability to paint a picture or convey a feeling in a few well chosen words. Not necessarily an entire song, but a couple words or verses that just stand out.

I hope this little game takes off!!

For example; Sam Hunt - Make You Miss me

...You're cold and hot
You burn out like a match
Keep a slip knot and the strings you attach...

Sam Hunt - Speakers (yes, I've been listening to a lot of Sam Hunt lately :) )


Moonlight's tracing those tree tops across your face
There's a feeling in your eyes the shadows can't erase
The cool wind around us is breezing around us
Following my fingers through your hair
The engine is idling and girl this heat lightning is flashing
Pictures of you and burning them in my head

With this song it is hard to find an actual string of words that make it stand out and be awesome. its moreof the entire song. This song reminds me that we have a limited time on this earth and that we have to try to make each moment special.

Clarity

The first song that came to mind when I read this topic was I Used to Love H.E.R. by Common.
Link: I Used to Love H.E.R.

Also, the chorus to Andy Grammer's song Kiss You Slowly. I'm not really a fan of the style or song itself, but I really like those lyrics.
hear the kick drum that’s my heart right there
let the melody run its fingers through your hair
and my piano will kiss you slow tonight...
LET'S TALK ABOUT CLARITY (O/O)
I hear the sirens of redemption screamin’ out like never before
and there's a roadblock in every direction but I ain't stoppin’ ‘cause I'm in control
