I Would

Blancmange's song 'I Would' is a poignant exploration of longing and the search for connection. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and determination as the narrator looks 'so hard to find you clearly.' This repeated line underscores the intensity of the search, suggesting that the object of their desire is elusive, almost like a mirage. The use of the phrase 'like worth blindness' is particularly striking, implying that despite the obstacles and the 'dim and gray' surroundings, the narrator's vision is sharpened by their yearning, allowing them to see clearly what they seek.

The recurring imagery of 'fars both dim and gray' paints a picture of a bleak and uncertain landscape, both literally and metaphorically. This could represent the emotional state of the narrator, who feels lost and disoriented in their quest for connection. The repetition of 'and gray, and gray, and gray' emphasizes the monotony and hopelessness of their surroundings, further highlighting the contrast between their inner clarity and the external confusion.

The chorus, with its plea 'Are you out there, waiting to share, a someone to care,' adds a layer of vulnerability to the song. It reveals the narrator's deep-seated need for companionship and understanding. The repeated calls to 'shout it someone know this' and 'shout it someone care' are cries for recognition and empathy, suggesting that the narrator feels isolated and unheard. This song captures the universal human experience of searching for meaningful connections in a world that often feels indifferent and unresponsive.
