Jade
SHARPE Edward Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She laughs as she dances her feet wake the flowers
She comes a now running through our gloomy town
Yes Jade is the girl of the hour
We can't help but follow she's Buddha just watch her
She moves like an old gypsy woman but swears she's a girl
And all that she asks we'll allow her
For Jade is the girl of the hour
It is her hour so let it be hers
Find it and shine it and wind it always
It is her hour so let it be hers
Yes Jade is the girl of the hour
The people in town now just wake up to see her for
When she smiles they all feel the power
The strong men the children and even the cowards
Know Jade's the girl of the hour
It is her hour so let it be hers
Find it and shine it and wind it always
It is her hour and always it's hers
Yes Jade is the girl of the hour
You won't soon forget the name
Softly now join her she's blessed for construction
She sings and sounds off the hammer of god
Man, I swear she's come here to fill us with power
It's Jade the girl of the hour
It is her hour so let it be hers
Find it and shine it and wind it always
It is her hour so let it be hers
Yes Jade is the girl of the hour
It is her hour so let it be hers
Find it and shine it and wind it always
It is her hour so let it be hers
Yes Jade is the girl of the hour
And you won't soon forget the name
The song "Jade" by Edward Sharpe is an ode to a woman named Jade, who embodies a free-spirited, charismatic energy that captivates everyone around her. The lyrics depict her as a joyful presence, running through the "Valley of Death and of Sleeping" with laughter and dance. Although she may seem unconventional, with movements that resemble an "old gypsy woman," there is a sense of reverence and almost mythical power surrounding her. The townspeople awaken to her presence and feel her "power" when she smiles. The song encourages embracing Jade's hour-- her time to shine in all her glory. It's as if Jade's very existence is a reminder to embrace our own idiosyncrasies and live in the present moment, like she does.
The song's lyrics, with their mystical imagery and evocative language, paint Jade as a figure of magic and inspiration. It's an encouragement to embrace a sense of playfulness and spontaneity in life, and to cherish those moments and people who bring light to our days. The overall message of the song is to embrace the magic of the present moment, and to hold onto it as long as possible.
