Life Is A Dance

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Jordan Fisher was interviewed on the radio. He spoke about his new single, “Never Dance Alone.” He was talking about how it’s the first time he sings a song he didn’t write; then, the station played it. It is beautifully written. I couldn’t find the lyrics or music anywhere but iTunes. It’s hot off the press.

In the lyrics of Feist, life is a dance we all have to do. The metaphor of dancing has often been extended to symbolize life.

Dancing alone can be a lot of fun, but even though adding a partner into the mix makes things more complicated at times because you have to coordinate, and it’s no longer all about you– the point is, it’s more.

It’s more graceful; it’s more memorable; it’s more magical; it’s more supportive; it’s more sacrificial; it’s more fun. It’s more.

The song is all about risks, admiration, trust, the magical moments in life, and, of course, love. I just wanted to share some pieces of it:

Never Dance Alone-Jordan Fisher

/You were so bullet proof around me,
I can barely take me shot;
whenever you move, I drown in envy
of anyone that gets to watch;

[…]
No matter where,
no matter when,
you will never dance alone again.

At first, there was you,
and then there was me–
and the room was spinning ’round.
I crashed into you;
you crashed into me;

[…]

Knockin’ on your heart to let me in;
we’ll listen to a song that never ends;
’cause if you put your future in my hands;
you will never dance alone again./
