Halo

Ane Brun's 'Halo' is a heartfelt ode to the transformative power of love. The song begins with the imagery of walls tumbling down, symbolizing the barriers the singer had built around herself. These walls fall effortlessly, indicating the ease with which love has entered her life. The absence of resistance or sound suggests a peaceful surrender to this newfound emotion. The singer acknowledges that she has found a way to let her lover in, and this acceptance has brought her a sense of certainty and security, as she stands in the light of her lover's 'halo,' a metaphor for their angelic and illuminating presence.

The chorus emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of this love. The singer feels surrounded by her lover's embrace, describing them as her 'saving grace.' This phrase highlights the redemptive and life-changing impact of the relationship. The lover's presence is so powerful that it is 'written all over' their face, making it impossible for the singer to ignore. The repeated imagery of the 'halo' suggests a divine or otherworldly quality to the love, elevating it beyond mere human connection.

As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the risks she has taken by opening herself up to love. Despite previous vows to never fall again, this love feels different—effortless and uplifting, as if gravity itself cannot pull her back down. The repeated lines about feeling and seeing the halo reinforce the idea that this love is both a physical and spiritual experience. The song concludes with a prayer that this 'halo' won't fade away, underscoring the singer's desire for this love to be everlasting. Ane Brun's 'Halo' beautifully captures the essence of love as a powerful, transformative force that brings light and hope into one's life.
