Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “The Bells Of St. Mary’s” by Sheryl Crow
This song is about a woman reflecting on her experience at the bells of St. Mary’s church. She reflects on the good times she had there and the people she knew, as well as the impression the place made on her life. It is a bittersweet remembrance of the time she must have spent there, of the laughter and the tears that were all part of the experience. She remembers the joy of being part of that community and the sense of peace and comfort the place gave her. Though she is older now, the bells of St. Mary’s still hold a special place in her heart and the memories of that time still carry her through the present.
