To Build a Home
Jason Angus Stoddart Swinscoe, Patrick Watson, Philip Jonathan France, Stella Page
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home
'Cause, I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
And, I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time
To leave and turn
To dust
A Construção de um Lar e a Impermanência: Análise de To Build a Home
A música To Build a Home, interpretada por The Cinematic Orchestra com a participação de Patrick Watson, é uma peça melancólica e introspectiva que explora temas de construção, perda e impermanência. A letra descreve a construção de uma casa, que é uma metáfora para a construção de uma vida, de um relacionamento e de um lar emocional entre duas pessoas. A casa de pedra, com seus pisos de madeira, paredes e peitoris de janela, representa a solidez e a segurança que se busca em um relacionamento. As mesas e cadeiras desgastadas pelo pó sugerem a passagem do tempo e as memórias compartilhadas.
No entanto, a música também aborda a efemeridade e a inevitabilidade da perda. A casa que foi construída 'para você, para mim' eventualmente desaparece 'de mim, de você', indicando que, apesar dos esforços para criar algo duradouro, tudo é suscetível a mudanças e ao fim. A referência ao jardim e à árvore tão antiga quanto o narrador simboliza o crescimento e a vida que foram nutridos juntos, mas também a aceitação de que tudo o que cresce um dia passará ('e agora é hora de partir / e virar pó').
A música, com sua melodia suave e a voz emotiva de Patrick Watson, transmite uma sensação de saudade e aceitação. A imagem de subir na árvore para ver o mundo e segurar-se firmemente, assim como se segurava ao outro, evoca a ideia de que, embora possamos nos esforçar para manter nossos relacionamentos e conquistas, há momentos em que devemos deixar ir. To Build a Home é uma reflexão sobre a beleza e a fragilidade da vida, e a compreensão de que o lar que construímos em nossos corações é tanto um refúgio quanto um lembrete da transitoriedade de nossa existência.
There is a house built out of stone
Há uma casa construída em pedra
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Pisos de madeira, paredes e peitoris de janelas

This is a place where I don't feel alone
Este é um lugar onde eu não me sinto sozinho
This is a place where I feel at home
Este é um lugar onde eu me sinto em casa
'Cause, I built a home

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust
E agora, é hora de sair e virar pó
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
Lá fora no jardim onde plantamos as sementes
There is a tree as old as me
Há uma árvore tão velha quanto eu
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Os galhos foram costurados pela cor verde
Ground had arose and passed it's knees
O solo havia se levantado e passado seus joelhos
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
Pelas rachaduras da pele subi até o topo
I climbed the tree to see the world
Escalei a árvore para ver o mundo
When the gusts came around to blow me down
Quando as rajadas vieram para me derrubar
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
Segurei-me firmemente quanto você me segurou
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
Segurei-me firmemente quanto você me segurou
And, I built a home
E, eu construí uma casa
For you
Para você
For me
