Do Me a Favour
The Orchard Lyrics

The lyrics of The Orchard's song, "Do Me A Favour" speak to the deep desire we all have to be understood, especially in our times of need. The first verse expresses this desire by asking someone to teach the singer how to express themselves with the right words when they're struggling with something. The second verse is a plea to the same person not to ask the singer if there's anything wrong but to simply offer comforting words instead. The singer is still confused but hopes that if they're shown a kind heart, they can emulate the kindness they're receiving. The chorus explains that eventually, the singer hopes to be able to articulate their problems to the person they're speaking to after they've been given space to process and identify what's happening.

The subsequent verse continues the theme of wanting to share difficult feelings with another person but acknowledging that putting those feelings into words is a daunting task. The final verse speaks to the singer's recognition of the good intentions of the person they're speaking to, acknowledging the abundance of their heart but also the importance of hearing comforting words, even if they don't immediately fix the problem.

Overall, the lyrics of "Do Me A Favour" are a poignant reminder that we all need someone to lean on when we're struggling, and we all want to feel that our feelings are being heard and validated. It's a testament to the power of listening and reflecting back love and kindness instead of judgment or advice.
