Song 5: Words by Bee Gees/Boyzone

Words (lyrics)

Smile, an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost it's glory
Lets start a brand new story
Now my love
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say...
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

Talk, in everlasting words
And dedicate them all, to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean
a single word I say...


This world has lost it's glory
Let's start a brand new story
Now, my love
You think that I don't even mean
a single word I say...

    After a month long vacation in my home country with unlimited doses of fun, laughter, food and memories, it was time to return back to the pavilion. Post these 30 days of joy and fun, our jet-lagged eyes and tired mind will definitely need some more time to get back into action. Though my association with words continued during the break too, I looked at them with pleasure rather than responsibility. Framing posts and writing articles was more of fun and less of duty during these long days of vacation. Now, while returning back to the same, old story with pre-defined plot and pre-determined characters, I hunted for an appropriate song that could express my state of mind.

     While continuing my musical express with impacting lyrics, I looked around for the perfect song that can describe my re-association with words. As work demands attention and job demands words, this exciting song by the title ‘Words’ seemed totally perfect in every way. An original song by group Bee Gees that was re-recorded by the famous band Boyzone, ‘It’s only words’ gained instant popularity among the audience back then. A romantic number that expresses the feelings of the singer towards his love of life, this song talks about the power of words. As words are the only means to communicate his love, the writer depicts the strength in their tale. By describing the truth in words, the writer hopes to establish a strong bond.

   Now, after reading the flow of these lyrics, you must be wondering about their inclusion in the musical express. How can a romantic number fit into this express that celebrates the power of words? Though the original purpose of the song revolves around love and its associated feelings, I admire this song for its appreciation of ‘words’. As a writer, while dealing with these friends day in and day out, I have realized their value in my life. Though this song takes a love-filled turn, I enjoy interpreting it in my way. For a song that celebrates the power in words, it describes the strength in their course. 

   

Words are the valuable pieces of our story that depict honesty and truthfulness, bringing the best in our lives. They stand as mirrors showing us true image in every way. Though we may not realize it, words leave an irreplaceable mark in the journey of our life. Actions are assumed to be stronger than words, but in reality what we speak and how we present our stand is much more impacting than any other means of expression.

    Words can leave a permanent effect, making it essential to weigh them in a correct manner. Words designed with an aim to hurt, insult, criticize or taunt can never yield any positive effect. It is important to choose our words with care and utilize them for good outcome rather than any inferior motive. Many a times, we allow our mood and mind to take charge, resulting in unacceptable flow of words. Though we may not mean it, yet our anger may fill our vocabulary with certain words only to be regretted later. This makes it essential to focus on our choice of words and spread cheer all around. As words are the central components of any communication, it is important to use them wisely.

    After entering into the field of writing, I realized the significance of rich literature. Good selection of words and flawless flow of the chain is all it takes to grab the attention of a reader. This song will always stay close to my heart for celebrating the love of words. The phrase ‘And words are all I have to take your heart away’ seems to convey my message in a perfect manner as words are indeed all I have to take my profession ahead.

     With this, let me write a quick note on why I love words:

1.       They speak your heart with true image of what’s in store.

2.       Words express, convey, speak and present all the ideas seeded deep within our minds.

3.       Words leave a long-lasting impression, making a powerful impact.

4.       Words generate feelings of happiness and love, conveying the thoughts in our mind.

5.       Core of communication, words are all we have to create space in someone’s life.

While I bid good-bye to an unwanted jet-lag, I hope to reconnect with my friends of words. Until I come back with my next post in the series, enjoy the magic of these words!
