What is the meaning behind "Wintersong" by Sara Bareilles? Do any of the references to lighthouses have to do with 'winter'?

Quote______ "Winter Song - Sara Bareilles" This is my winter song to you. The storm is coming soon, It rolls in from the sea My voice; a beacon in the night. My words will be your light, To carry you to me.Is love alive?

Is love alive? Is love They say that things just cannot grow Beneath the winter snow, Or so I have been told. They say were buried far, Just like a distant star I simply cannot hold.

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?

This is my winter song. December never felt so wrong, Cause you're not where you belong; Inside my arms. Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum bum I still believe in summer days.

The seasons always change And life will find a way. I'll be your harvester of light And send it out tonight So we can start again.Is love alive? Is love alive?

Is love alive? This is my winter song. December never felt so wrong, Cause you're not where you belong; Inside my arms.

This is my winter song to you. The storm is coming soon It rolls in from the sea. My love a beacon in the night.

My words will be your light To carry you to me.Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?

Is love alive? Is love alive? _____end quote_____ While lyrics are always open to interpretation, this is my take.

The constant mention of seasons denotes things that run their course, ie: a relationship. Summer usually symbolizes carefree, happy feelings, things that are at their best. Winter is the season when things are dormant, when snow covers the ground and covers dormant plants - things that used to be vibrant and green and growing and are now frozen.

This song seems fairly literal. She was in a relationship, she no longer is, she would like to be again. She is using her voice as a "light house" to guide her boyfriend back to her.

The lighthouse reference does not have to do with winter, lighthouses are what guide boats back to the shore traditionally, this is a boating reference in a song about winter... but she does also mention a storm coming so I suppose she references both sea and winter. She wants to know if the love is just dormant or if it's frozen beyond repair.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
