How about dancing under the stars?

The sun is shining brighter than usual today. The rays ricochet off of the gleaming white snow and directly into my fragile, green eyes. I squint. The crisp landscape is beautiful, though. The window in my room acts as a frame to the painting synthesized by leafless trees and mountains of frozen rain. Amber leaves are sprinkled over the driveways wherever the glistening carpets of snow have gone missing. This feels familiar. Cozy. A feeling I felt while listening to a rather colorful song. Months ago. More than a year ago, actually. Which brings me to the tune of the day. 

SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK by Joji. 

A echoey blend of insomnia, tears, laughter, love, pain, contemplation, and euphoria. Sparkles falling into glue; smudged marker on your finger. The layers radiate impact. The gentle pace creates a sullen atmosphere that leaves you pondering life's biggest questions. Gold star. But... the lyrics. 

Give me reasons we should be complete
You should be with him, I can't compete
You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well
Can't you see? (Can't you see?)
I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance)
In the dark
Dark

Just the chorus. My analysis of these lyrics -- in a poem, from the perspective of Joji himself: 

Why should we be together? Do we fit? 

I know you're asking the same questions

Thinking the same things 

Magnets. 

He's better for you.

So

Dance with him. 

I don't want to slow dance 

I want to know what this is. 

What we are

There's doubt in you 

I can tell.

Am I a stranger to you? 

I feel like a stranger. 

You're different in the light 

I am different to you in the light

I mean something else to you in the light  

The dynamic changes

It's hidden

But not in the dark

Only in the light

You can't use the darkness to change.

Or the light to hide 

It seems that 

When vision 

Or the ability to see 

Is naturally altered,

Affected at all

Feelings are too.

But

Sunlight

Moonlight

Both are still light

And 

Maybe I do want to slow dance. 

Just not in the dark 

That is it for today. Comment a song that gets you reminiscing; I'm curious. If you click on the album cover below, it will take you to "SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK" by Joji on YouTube. So if you haven't heard it yet, give the harmonious hit a quick listen! Let me know thoughts, emotions, ideas, sparks, creations, or memories that come up while the instruments hum into your ears. 

Looking forward to hearing all about it. 

Warm regards,
