Notable Song Lines #17: Smile - Uncle Kracker

in #music6 years ago (edited)

What a great feeling it is when you loved someone, what can be noticeable on your face are those smiles. That's obvious on the song by Uncle Kracker called Smile. It is a song full of similes about how he feels for the person he loves. Apparently, it gives him smiles.

The song's construction also suited on the lyrics with its pop rock sound, and elements of country and folk.

You're better than the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right

It's unclear whether the song was for a girl the guy loves or his kids, but those words are clear how much he loves the person, as well its effect on him. You do cool things which creates great memories.

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record

What a great feeling smiles can bring. Those smiles came from that person. Similes were used in these parts comparing smile to the sun, as sun represents joy. Without sunshine, the skies are gloomy which can sometimes be depressing. Singing compared to a bird because tweets and chirps are considered birds are singing. When records are played, they usually spin either a vinyl or compact discs. Surely, your favorite song's being played can make you smile. That's what the person you loved can give you.

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along

Talking about a woman, she might have left or gone yet the memories brings smile and somehow lifted the character's spirit. If it's about his child, the son or daughter might have reached the independent stage, and already left parents' home. Those great moments during younger years is bring smile.

Uncle Kracker did well over his song Follow Me, but he has proven he's no one-hit wonder with Smile. It might not be as huge but the song went multiplatinum in the US despite the number 31 peak.
Chart peak position from Billboard.
