The Light of Love: Jasmine Thompson's 'Halo'

Jasmine Thompson's rendition of '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 her heart. These walls fall effortlessly, indicating the overwhelming and undeniable nature of the love she has found. The metaphor of a 'halo' represents the purity and divinity of this love, likening the beloved to an angelic figure who brings light and salvation into her life. This love is so powerful that it breaks all the rules she once held, awakening her to new possibilities and emotions.

The chorus emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of this love, describing it as a 'halo' that surrounds and embraces her. The beloved is portrayed as a 'saving grace,' a source of everything she needs and more. The repeated plea that the halo won't fade away underscores the singer's desire for this love to be everlasting. The imagery of light continues with phrases like 'hit me like a ray of sun' and 'burning through my darkest night,' further illustrating how this love has illuminated her life and dispelled her fears and doubts.

Thompson's vocal delivery adds an extra layer of emotion to the lyrics, making the listener feel the depth of her gratitude and awe. The song captures the essence of finding a love so profound that it feels almost otherworldly, a love that defies gravity and transforms the very fabric of one's existence. It's a celebration of vulnerability, trust, and the incredible impact that true love can have on a person's life.
