Song Meaning of “Herald of the Morning” by Gary Girouard
Herald of the Morning, a song by Gary Girouard, speaks of the timelessness of life, love and emotions, no matter where one is in the world, and the hope that one can find if they can just keep their focus on the virtues of life. It is a song of joy and hope in the face of darkness, of embracing one’s life as it is and striving to bring more beauty into it.
The chorus paints a picture of an optimistic outlook, of a more beautiful tomorrow no matter the darkness that may seem impenetrable: “I’m the herald of the morning, just a harbinger of light/Bringing hope in the darkness, of a new day and a brighter life.”
The verses tell the story of always loving and accepting the world as it is, with the poet providing his love of good and life, his willingness to suffer if need be, but ultimately striving to keep his spirit lifted: “Take me now and don’t turn away/The world will keep on spinning and days will pass away…/Still I lay my heart here at your feet/In the joy and sorrow I’ll never retreat.”
The song fosters a spirit of positivity, hope and strength no matter the circumstance.
