The songвЂ™s inquisitive 3/4 time signature, also known as waltz time, is quite unconventional for a вЂњpopвЂќ song. ItвЂ™s style over substance, the container over the content.

Listening to the music of Seal without hearing a message is like watching a movie with the sound turned down. The song is a part of me, and likewise, I am a part of it. It is a song that I just cannot escape from no matter how much I try. This song is the story of my life.ДЄnother song that has always resonated with my life, as short as it has been,В is the song вЂњKiss by a RoseвЂќ performed by the R&B artist Seal. He is angry that she is letting him stay in this situation, yet he knows that she is doing all she can. вЂњOn a bed of nails she makes me waitвЂ¦You give it all but I want more.вЂќ He is showing his mixed feelings. The basic problem depicted in the song is that being with a girl is too hard to tolerate because you want her so much, while being away from her is too much for the same reason. Nothing to win, yet nothing left to lose. Maybe it is just because I have been in exactly the same situation myself, and I can empathize with the lyrics, but the hopelessness of his situation is depicted with the great contradictions. The message that I attach to this song is somewhat simple. This song is one of the most evocative songs IвЂ™ve ever listened to. You want to suck in that air so deep, look sincerely into someoneвЂ™s eyes and fall in love. No, the feeling is simply inappropriate to any other season or instance except for this one right here, right now. A powerful feeling of yearning overtakes you out of nowhere, a feeling that is so out of character for those humid nights of the summer season, or of the seemingly continuous deep freeze of the wintry weather. One night you decide to take a walk through the outdoors and you see that the sky is almost completely dark, the air crisp and clean, the celestial lights glimmering in the clear night air. The sun has been setting earlier previous day the temperature dropping a degree or two everyday. вЂњNothing to win and nothing left to lose, and you give yourself awayвЂ¦ with or without you.вЂќWith those words, we are instantly off on our musical journey through time and space the song has placed a vision in our heads. The wave of sound that has building since you turned the song on now starts to reach its pinnacle as the vocal part rockets skyward.

The way that Bono expresses himself throughout the song is so real, so full of emotion that you canвЂ™t help being drawn into the song. It seems as if Bono has been freed from the chains that bind him, and his soft, measured delivery is replaced by a melancholic wail. Then, a short-lived intimation of the chorus,В followed by an additional short verse and chorus, and then the drums grow more aggressive, more driven. Bono enters, smoothly and tranquilly sings a few bars, вЂњSee the stone set in your eyes, see the thorn twist in your side, I wait, for youвЂ¦вЂќ For me, this is the most thrilling part of the song, the lull before the storm to come when the song really starts to cook.Д«ass beats, guitar and BonoвЂ™s soft delivery combine to produce a powerful feeling, one that makes you feel as if you are taking part in something that is larger than life itself. While the song cycles through the chord changes for the first times, the clean notes of an electric guitar with a delay effect, the typical вЂњEdgeвЂќ sound that we here on almost every U2 song swirls around our ears, placed above the mix of the synthesizer, enticing us and intriguing us further into the song. My favorite song, вЂњWithout or Without YouвЂќ starts out with several bars of drum beats and the placid melodic tones of a synthesizer before that distinctively driving and instantly recognizable bass line kicks in.
