Sway
The beautiful song ‘Sway’ by Michael Bublé is heavenly to the ears and makes one want to dance. This song has been performed by many singers over the years and each singer has only added to its charm. Music is truly therapeutic. It has the power to move mountains and bless us abundantly! To understand this, we can refer to Tansen’s expertise, which could illuminate oil lamps or cause the clouds to rain by rendition of ragas.
This melodious song begins with a delightful onomatopoeic effect, “when marimba rhythms starts to play, dance with me, make me sway”… these words immediately draws us in, setting a soft and romantic tone that adds depth to the music.
“Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, hold me close, sway me more,” with this simile, the composer takes us on a journey, prompting us to envision the sophisticated bond between two lovers. The way the beauty of nature is intertwined to express the raw intimacy of love through dance is truly captivating.
Moving on, “other dancers may be on the floor, dear, but my eyes will see only you. Only you have that magic technique, when we sway, I go weak,” highlights how a lover is solely focused on one love amidst the presence of other beauties. The eyes are fixated on that special someone, showcasing the depth of love beautifully portrayed by Mr. Bublé.
