The Wisp Sings
Winter Aid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i am tired of my grief
and i would like you
to love me, to love me, to love me
this is the night when these woods sigh
come with me
there are people who cannot speak
without smiling
they would take me from your hand
or they would try, they would try
this is the murmur of the land
this is the sound of love's marching band
and how they hold you like a gun
and how i sing you like a song
i heard when i was young
and buried for a night like this
The song 'The Wisp Sings' by Winter Aid is an evocative and emotional piece of music that speaks to feelings of grief, longing, and the search for love and connection. The opening lines of "let me sleep, I am tired of my grief" set the tone for the rest of the song, which is a melancholic lament for lost love and a plea for someone to come and love the singer. The repetition of "to love me, to love me, to love me" is a powerful reminder of the depth of the singer's longing, and the pain that comes with unrequited love.
The middle section of the song switches to a more hopeful tone, as the singer invites the listener to come with them into the woods to find people who "cannot speak without smiling". This is perhaps a reference to the healing power of nature, and the idea that spending time in the natural world can help to ease our pain and bring us joy. However, the singer is also aware that there are forces out there that would try to take them away from the person they are singing to, adding a note of tension and danger to the song.
The closing lines of "this is the murmur of the land, this is the sound of love's marching band, and how they hold you like a gun, and how I sing you like a song I heard when I was young and buried for a night like this" bring the song full circle, as the singer remembers the power of love and the way it can both heal and hurt us. The reference to being "buried for a night like this" suggests that the singer has experienced deep pain and sadness before, and that this current longing is just one in a series of emotional trials.
Overall, 'The Wisp Sings' is a beautiful and haunting song that explores the depths of human emotion and our need for connection and love.

Those songs that you find, or maybe the find you...and it makes you feel as if you've just found another part of your soul..it makes you feel as if your soul is growing.
It makes you feel reconnected with who you are, and as if anything is possible... you could be completely bare.. and vulnerable.. and no one is judging you.. and if they would care.. you wouldn't.
Those songs that give you oxygen, the ones that make you feel as if you're taking your first breath over and over again.. those songs are important.
Those are your soul songs. Listen to them. They will nourish you.

Someone on another video with the same song commented, “It’s suffocating to be surrounded by happiness and not being able to feel it”. Man, I tear up reading those few words.

Apathy hurts. You want to show you’re a real person with real human emotions but all you can show is a blank stare. Everyone goes through an emotional roller coaster but since I turned 13, I’ve never felt true happiness
