Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is so extraordinarily full of magic
And, and in tough times of my life
I can listen to music and it makes such a difference.
Come play a while,
Come dance and sing,
Come fall and raise,
For all we are is beautiful.
You and me are the only ones.
Come play a while,
Come dance and sing,
Come fall and raise,
Become kings and queens,
For all we are is beautiful.
You and me are the only ones.
The lyrics to the song "Daphne" by 1 Giant Leap, Eddi Reader, Mahotella Queens, and Revetti Sakalar are about the power and beauty of music. The opening line, "Music is to me proof of the existence of god," suggests that music is a spiritual force that can connect us to something greater than ourselves. The singer finds music to be "extraordinarily full of magic," which can bring comfort and hope during difficult times.
The chorus invites listeners to join in the joy of music and to experience the sense of unity and beauty that it can create. "Come play a while, come dance and sing" encourages listeners to let themselves be carried away by the music, to let go of their worries and inhibitions, and to fully engage with the present moment. "Become kings and queens" suggests that through music, anyone can feel empowered and elevated to a position of honor and respect. The final line, "You and me are the only ones," underscores the idea that music is a uniquely personal and intimate experience, even when it brings people together.
