Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My soul is wearying
My soul is wearying
I said my soul is wearying
My soul is wearying
Beating down from all of my misery yeh
Oh Lord who will comfort me?
Gotta hold of my heart
Keeps me bound where the whole wide world is free yeah
Oh Lord who will comfort me?
My home is a wreckage a family ground
Impli-ed in poverty yeah
Oh Lord who will comfort me
The lyrics of "Who Will Comfort Me" by Melody Gardot convey the feelings of sadness and hopelessness of a person who is tired of struggling through life. The repetition of the phrase "My soul is wearying" emphasizes the exhausting nature of the situation, indicating that the person has been facing challenges for a prolonged period of time. The lyrics also depict a sense of isolation and vulnerability, as the person is seeking comfort and support from an external source.
The lyrics quickly progress to addressing a higher power, possibly God or a deity, with a plea for comfort. The lines "Beating down from all of my misery yeh" and "Keeps me bound where the whole wide world is free yeah" indicate that the person feels trapped in their own suffering, unable to escape no matter how much they long for freedom. The reference to a "wreckage" home and a poverty-stricken family further emphasize the bleakness of the situation.
The song's emotional depth and raw vulnerability has resonated with many listeners, as it speaks to feelings of hopelessness and desperation that are universal. It serves as a powerful reminder that everyone needs support and comfort, no matter how strong they may appear on the surface.

A shame, that there's music like this and it's hardly known. Melody's music is absolutely perfect. Her voice is to die for.

@laraoneal7284

I literally just ran across this song driving my car. I just pulled over. Got the name and looked it up. This is really good music. This old rock drummer just became your newest fan.
This is so tasty , thanks

First time I heard her voice and this song, I was swept away and stuck to her like a powerful magnet. I am just so happy she's alive today. "If All The Stars Were Mine' is a great song as well, because she sings it so convincingly and loving.
@derigel9783
Do you remember where you heard it the first time?
@vetrecaGOD
