While some musicians have called the concept of "groove" a subjective and elusive notion, they acknowledge that the concept is well-understood by experienced musicians at a practical, intuitive level. Funk and Latin musicians refer to "groove" as the sense of being "in the pocket", and jazz players refer to groove as the sense that a jam session is really "cooking" or "swinging."
Musicologists and other scholars began to analyse the concept of "groove" in the 1990s. They have argued that a "groove" is an "understanding of rhythmic patterning" or "feel" and “an intuitive sense" of "a cycle in motion" that emerges from "carefully aligned concurrent rhythmic patterns" that sets in motion dancing or foot-tapping on the part of listeners.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER

I want you to stay
'Til I'm in the grave
'Til I rot away, dead and buried
'Til I'm in the casket you carry
If you go, I'm goin' too, uh
'Cause it was always you (alright)
And if I'm turnin' blue, please don't save me
Nothin' left to lose without my baby
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather, might not be forever
But if it's forever, it's even better
And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby, I
I'll love you 'til the day that I die
'Til the day that I die
'Til the light leaves my eyes
'Til the day that I die
I want you to see, hmm
How you look to me, hmm
You wouldn't believe if I told ya
You would keep the compliments I throw ya
But you're so full of shit, uh
Tell me it's a bit, oh
Say you don't see it, your mind's polluted
Say you wanna quit, don't be stupid
And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more
Might not be long, but baby, I
Don't wanna say goodbye
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know ('til the day that I die)
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone ('til the light leaves my eyes)
Can't change the weather, might not be forever ('til the day that I die)
But if it's forever, it's even better
I knew you in another life
You had that same look in your eyes
I love you, don't act so surprised
The lyrics of "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" by Billie Eilish convey themes of deep love, loyalty, and a sense of being intertwined with someone to the point where separation would feel unbearable. The singer expresses a desire for their loved one to stay with them until death, emphasizing their connection by stating that if the loved one were to go, the singer would follow suit. There is a profound intimacy in the sentiment that their bond transcends even physical death, as the singer envisions being together in the grave and beyond, a bond that extends into eternity.
The metaphor of "birds of a feather" highlights a shared identity and a sense of unity between the two individuals, suggesting that they are meant to be together and support each other. The lyrics further explore the idea that while circumstances may change and nothing is certain, the idea of being together forever is a comforting and ideal prospect for the singer.

I wish for your companionship until I completely fade away.
'Til I'm in the casket you carry

If you leave, I feel like a part of me will also disappear.
'Cause it was always you (alright)
You have always been the one I truly needed.
And if I'm turnin' blue, please don't save me
If I succumb to despair, do not try to fix me.
Nothin' left to lose without my baby
Without you, I feel I have lost everything significant.
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know
Like similar creatures, we are meant to be united.
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone
I once believed being alone was preferable.
Can't change the weather, might not be forever
Circumstances are beyond our control and may not last indefinitely.
But if it's forever, it's even better
If we can maintain our connection indefinitely, that would be ideal.
And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I'm confused about the source of my tears.
I don't think I could love you more
My capacity to love you seems beyond measure.
It might not be long, but baby, I
Our time together may be brief, yet I cherish it.
I'll love you 'til the day that I die
My love for you will persist until my last breath.
'Til the day that I die
I will remain devoted to you forever.

I will love you to the very end of my existence.
I want you to see, hmm
I wish for you to understand my perspective.
How you look to me, hmm
I desire to express how you appear through my eyes.
You wouldn't believe if I told ya
You might find it hard to accept my feelings for you.
You would keep the compliments I throw ya
You tend to accept my praise but dismiss its weight.
But you're so full of shit, uh
You often underestimate your worth.
Tell me it's a bit, oh
You downplay my compliments as if they are minor.
Say you don't see it, your mind's polluted
You claim not to recognize your beauty, clouded by self-doubt.
Say you wanna quit, don't be stupid
You sometimes express a desire to give up; don’t succumb to that.
And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
Again, I'm puzzled by what causes my emotions.
I don't think I could love you more
My affection for you continues to grow beyond reason.
Might not be long, but baby, I
Our remaining time together could be limited, yet it is meaningful.
Don't wanna say goodbye
I dread the thought of parting ways with you.
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know ('til the day that I die)
We naturally belong as partners, and I wish to maintain this bond eternally.
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone ('til the light leaves my eyes)
I once insisted that solitude was best, but now I see the value in unity.
Can't change the weather, might not be forever ('til the day that I die)
Life's unpredictability may alter our path, but I'd choose you every time.
But if it's forever, it's even better
If our connection lasts, it only intensifies my feelings for you.
I knew you in another life
I feel a deep, almost otherworldly familiarity with you.
You had that same look in your eyes
Your gaze carries a resonance that seems timeless.
I love you, don't act so surprised
My affection for you should not come as a shock; it's a truth.

Apocalipse 21:4-5
4Ele enxugará dos seus olhos toda lágrima. Não haverá mais morte, nem tristeza, nem choro, nem dor, pois a antiga ordem já passou".
5Aquele que estava assentado no trono disse: "Estou fazendo novas todas as coisas!" E acrescentou: "Escreva isto, pois estas palavras são verdadeiras e dignas de confiança".
Jesus Cristo pode fazer novas todas as coisas. Isso ai em cima é uma promessa. Hoje Deus pode mudar sua vida, no sentido de um novo futuro diferente do esperado por você.
Aceite Jesus Cristo como Senhor e Salvador:
Romanos 10: 9-10
9Se você confessar com a sua boca que Jesus é Senhor e crer em seu coração que Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos, será salvo.
10Pois com o coração se crê para justiça, e com a boca se confessa para salvação.
E tenha a Vida Eterna:
João 11:25-26
25Disse-lhe Jesus: "Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida. Aquele que crê em mim, ainda que morra, viverá;
26e quem vive e crê em mim, não morrerá eternamente. Você crê nisso?"
Siga a Jesus Cristo estude a Palavra de Deus e pratique-a todo dia.

to me, the whole message is she's being pulled in all directions by someone that isnt even there. super symbolic of the lingering effects of any sort of lost love.
