“Something in The Heavens” by Lewis Capaldi is about losing someone and believing a reunion will one day occur. Whether the loss is due to death or breakup, this represents the hope of a reconciliation to come.
Overall, Capaldi engages many people because of the way a listener can relate the song’s lyrics. For this song, it specifically relates to those who loved ones are no longer in their lives, whether the loved ones were once friends or family.
A line in the song says, “just days of permanent grey since you disappeared.” These words acknowledge how grief feels when a person who is important to you is no longer with you.
Capaldi expresses the heavy fondness one feels for the loss. He claims, “But ‘til the day I die I will dream of you.” He shows that he will forever remember the person and they will always be in his memory.
Later on in “Something in the Heavens” the lyrics perfectly capture the main theme saying, “something in the heavens tells me that we’ll be together again.” This lyric conveys the main idea of the song and argues that even if the loss is to death, two will meet again.
I chose this song because it reminds me of people I have lost. Like the intention of the song, “Something in the Heavens” gives me the hope of one day seeing all my loved ones again.
