The song that I choose to do this project on is Broken by Lifehouse. How the title is appropriate to its meaning and content is it is about a "broken clock stealing all his time". It is subtle, so you have to listen specifically to the lyrics. The mood of the music is a gloomy/hopeful mood. The mood is created by the lyrics and the "slow moving" music notes.
The song was the last song to make it to their new record album. It then was used in the soundtrack of The Time Traveler's Wife. I think it has definitely gained value over time through it's exposure. The meaning is personal but it has various interpretations. But I don't think what I hear would be the same of what some others would hear, because people can interpret it in different ways.
Jason, who is the main singer of the band, came up with the song. He went to visit his friend in Nashville who needed a kidney transplant and he spoke some words that affected Jason deeply. These are now the words that are used in the chorus of the song.
What the song means to me is there are a lot of tough times we human beings go through in life. And that's just how life is. But it is always comforting to know that I can leave all me worries to God to take care of, and He will heal my pain.
