Beautiful lyrics. Beautiful melody. Beautiful song.
Halo - Beyoncé
I think what catches me most about this song is the fact that it mixes this idea of seriousness and serenity. The song opens with a very stern percussive beat, almost militaristic like, and Beyonce focuses on her lower vocal range (probably the lowest I've heard her sing). However, as the song progresses, it captures the more idealism of love, characterized by the higher vocal range and the increased emphasis on the use of strings and subtle synthesizer. Overall, a wonderful attempt to capture the essence of love. I say attempt because love is something that may never be fully captured by any medium of art - this however comes pretty close. ~DP~
