Underneath The Sun

JFDR's song 'Underneath The Sun' is a poetic exploration of love, memory, and the passage of time. The lyrics are rich with imagery and emotion, capturing the essence of a relationship that has weathered both joy and sorrow. The opening lines, 'A drink to the mishaps and the glory of the old days,' set the tone for a reflective journey through past experiences, both good and bad. This duality is a recurring theme, as the singer toasts to both the 'mishaps' and 'glory,' acknowledging that both have shaped the present.

The chorus, 'I’ll be on your side, underneath the Sun / Carved out in heaven, some of our love,' speaks to a love that is enduring and transcendent. The phrase 'underneath the Sun' suggests a timeless, universal quality to their bond, while 'carved out in heaven' implies a sense of destiny or divine intervention. This love is something that the singer has tried to hide and forget, but ultimately cannot, indicating its profound impact on their life.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of seeking and questioning. Lines like 'Lost is the answer in the fabric of the clouds' and 'A promise in the distance, whether it saves you or faults' suggest a search for meaning and truth. The singer grapples with feelings of regret and longing, yet finds solace in the idea that they are 'safe in your hands.' This safety net, whether emotional or spiritual, provides a sense of stability amidst the uncertainties of life.

'Underneath The Sun' is a beautifully crafted song that delves into the complexities of love and memory. JFDR's ethereal voice and evocative lyrics create a hauntingly beautiful narrative that resonates with anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of a deep, enduring relationship.
