#5 English song

Something Wild - Lindsey Stirling ft. Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness (From Disney's Pete's Dragon)




Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You had your maps drawn
You had other plans
To hang your hopes on
Every road they let you down felt so wrong
So you found another way

You've got a big heart
The way you see the world
It got you this far
You might have some bruises
And a few of scars
But you know you're gonna be okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you're scared
You're stronger than you know

[Chorus]
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home, home
If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
Chase the sky into the ocean
That's when something wild calls you home, home

[Verse 2]
Sometimes the past can
Make the ground beneath you feel like a quicksand
You don't have to worry
You reach for my hand
And I know you're gonna be okay
You're gonna be okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you're scared
You're stronger than you know

[Chorus]
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home, home
If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
Chase the sky into the ocean
That's when something wild calls you home, home

[Bridge]
Calls you home
Calls you home
Calls you home
Calls you home

If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home...

[Chorus]
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home, home
If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
Chase the sky into the ocean
That's when something wild calls you home, home

Why I like the song?
Lindsey Stirling is my favorite musician. She dances and plays violin at the same time, and it looks cool to me. Stirling performs a variety of music styles, from classical to pop and rock to electronic dance music. She let us know that violin can also perform rock songs.
Lindsey Stirling collaborated with Andrew McMahon for her new record and the movie Disney's Pete's Dragon. While Andrew McMahon has a great passion for singing and playing piano, Lindsey Stirling is also a very talented violinist. 
In the video, the two children met and play treasure hunt together. They are both very happy and immersed in fantasy during the process of treasure hunting. In the end, the boy painted a painting and gave it to the girl to commemorate their journey. Growing up, the girl took out the painting that the boy gave her and she missed him. Watching this video makes me feel touched. The lyrics of the song is also encouraging.
