Ferry Corsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the music carry you
Baby I will follow you for ever
No where else Id rather be
When your lying next to me
Let the music carry us together
The lyrics to Ferry Corsten's song "Beautiful" express a sense of pure euphoria and the feeling of being completely oblivious to anything but the present moment. The opening line "Everything is beautiful" reveals a sense of appreciation and contentment with the world, while the second line "let the music carry you" indicates a desire to be lifted up by the power of music. This feeling of abandon continues in the following line "Baby I will follow you forever", implying that the singer has found a source of joy that they never want to let go of.
The next verse solidifies this idea of being lost in the moment, with the line "No where else I'd rather be / When you're lying next to me". The focus is on the present moment and the feeling of being completely content in the arms of another person. The lyrics then return to the power of music with the final line "Let the music carry us together", emphasizing the unity that music can create between people.
In summary, the lyrics to "Beautiful" are about the power of music to transport us into pure moments of joy and contentment, and the importance of cherishing those moments with the people we love.

Once a wild party girl now living a 'normal' respectable life with a very professional job when I hear songs like this I dream of having one last big night, someplace surrounded by beautiful people all high, happy and dancing to their hearts content. There is nothing like those moments of being amongst a sea of strangers yet feeling so connected in that moment especially when the dj drops it and the place erupts. It's beautiful and the energy is amazing. Shine on you fellow Crazy Diamonds x
@keardonschindler6766
You are never too old to enjoy the energy! Everything can be good in moderation, even moderation. Dont limit yourself because you think you dont belong. As the electro generation ages i think youll begin to see a truly mixed bag of mature and young people.
@cark79
Great and sad words at the same time.
@AgressiveSillence

What's crazy about listening to this is you get a surge of emotions. If you're listening to this, uninterrupted, and really focusing on it, you start to feel EVERYTHING. You feel all the pain of loss in your life, you feel all the amazing friendships and close people in your life... You feel tired from working, you feel energized from working out.... You get the biggest smile on your face and fight the fact that you're body is trying to cry all at the same time. By the end of the song, you just wish everyone else around you could understand for just one second how you feel. This is the only song I've ever heard that can do this.
@jvswwevo
