Imagery- Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts

Bless The Broken Road by: Rascal Flatts

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Imagery- Breathe by: Faith Hill

Breathe by: Faith Hill

I can feel the magic floating in the air

Beign with you gets me that way

I watch the sunlight dance across your face

And i've never been this swept away

All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze

When i'm lying wrapped up in your arms

The whole world just fades away

The only thing I hear Is the beating of your heart

CHORUS:

Cause I can feel you breathe

It's washing over me

And suddenly i'm melting into you

There's nothing left to prove

Baby, all we need is just to be

Caught up in the touch

Slow and steady rush

Baby, isn't that the way that love's suppose to be

I can feel you breathe

In a way I know my heart is waking up

As all the walls come tumbling down

Closer than i've ever felt before

And I know, and you know

There's no need for words right now

I chose Breathe by Faith Hill to portray a song with lots of imagery. This song is about how you feel when you meet the right person and are in love. This song has several examples of imagery. For example, “I watch the sunlight dance across your face, And I’ve never been this swept away”. This is imagery because you can just feel the love between these two people and picture it clearly in your head. Another example of imagery is, “I can feel the magic floating in the air, Being with you gets me that way”. These lines get the imagine of someone completely head over heels for this special someone, almost like they are floating in the air because they are so much in love.
