Rapunzel
Novak Lyrics

Isn't it marvelous that we have been given the gift of seeing and hearing?
It's amazing that we have the ability to see and hear the world around us.

Of course, seeing gives us a wonderful picture of the world around us, but I
While sight provides us amazing visual information, I wonder how many people think about hearing also giving us significant auditory information.

Wonder how many of you think about hearing as giving us wonderful soundpictures...
I am curious whether people appreciate the rich, colorful sounds we hear that can vividly depict what's happening.

For, sounds are really tone colours that give us a picture of what we hear.
This is because sounds are like different colors, each with their own unique tone, that paint a picture of what we're hearing.

We have all enjoyed show-and-tell at school. But, how many of you have
Most of us have probably experienced show-and-tell at school, but I'm curious how many have played the equally fun and exciting game of hear-and-tell.

Played the exciting game of hear-and-tell ?
I'm suggesting a game where one person makes a sound and the others have to guess what it is for fun.

We will now hear sounds. Can you tell us what they are? And, who or what, is
Let's now listen to different sounds and see if you can identify what they are and where they're coming from.

Making them?
I'm asking about the source of the sounds - what's causing them?

Lets try... First, close your eyes, and when you hear each sound, try to
Let's actually play the game now. Close your eyes and listen carefully to each sound. Try to figure out what it is.

Guess what it is... Either say what it is, or, if you are alone, just think
Once you identify the sound, feel free to say it out loud, or just think it to yourself if you're playing alone.

Island breezes and your travel-shop teases
The lyrics of the song begin now.

Only one with a raise, yeah
An ambiguous line with unclear meaning, could suggest the singer has one thing on their mind.

For all of the sunshine
A line that could reference the brightness and happiness that love brings into one's life.

Better make you be mine
The singer is saying they better lock down the person they love before someone else does.

Forever and no more
A line that could suggest the singer is committed to being with their lover forever, with no backing out.

All your Tuesdays are a melody for me a melody
The singer is so in love with their partner that even the most mundane days of the week (like Tuesdays) seem beautiful to them.

For my life
The singer means this love is the most important thing in their life.

And it's only the ghost of your entwined love on your plastic upholstery
An obscure and metaphorical line that is open for interpretation. Could suggest the singer is haunted by or cherishes the memory of their love, even when they're not physically together.

I like Brad best
An unrelated and random line that seems to break the otherwise seemingly heartfelt and romantic mood of the song.

You better wear your best white dress
Assuming the song is written to a particular person, the singer is asking them to get dolled up for a special occasion or day.

Your whole life
The singer might be suggesting that they want to be with this person for their entire life.
