Keaton Henson：Meaning of Wildwood Songmeaning

"Wildwood" by Keaton Henson is a song about longing for someone who is not good for you. The lyrics describe the narrator's desire for a lover who will tell them pretty lies, who doesn't need truth, and who is wild like a fire or a bird. The imagery of nature, such as moss, wildflowers, and forests, is used to convey the intense and unpredictable nature of this love. The chorus repeats the line "Can you still hear my song," which suggests that the narrator is hoping that this person will still be able to hear and respond to their feelings, even though they know deep down that it may not be a healthy relationship. The song is an exploration of the complicated emotions that can arise when we are drawn to someone who is not good for us, and the desire to hold onto that connection even when we know it is not in our best interest.
