The content of this educational video is covered by fair use. My work is transformative and adds interpretation and analysis to the original work much as happens when I teach poetry in a university classroom. When I explain songs, I rarely use more the lyrics or short clips of the original song or music video and do not hurt the song’s salability or provide a market substitute. All copyright claims will be disputed and appealed. Please see me as your ally as I use a literary perspective to enable fans to understand and enjoy your wonderful and interesting piece of music.

I believe that chasing cars has a deeper meaning... It is about love that gives u a feeling compared to the feeling a dog gets when he is chasing a car... it makes him happy and he does everything in order to reach the car as he is running after it but the truth is the dog wouldn't know what to do if he actually caught the car in the end...and that is what this relationship feels to the singer... he really enjoys being with this other person but in the end it is difficult for him to decide how to continue the relationship and he is not sure if he really loves the person or if he is just in love with the feeling of chasing for love

It's hard for me to think of Chasing Cars as a pure love song, for me it will always have a sadness, a melancholy to it. I blame Grey's Anatomy.
oh, i have a love/hate relationship with this song. i love the song but whenever i hear it on grey's anatomy someone dies
I love chasing cars. One of my favs! Love you Popsongprof!
Yay, thanks for doing my request! Always love your videos, keep up the good work! ~"Sarah" XD

This song is amazing. One of my all-time favorites.
You are doing some awesome stuff. I am just obsessed with the songs of Imagine Dragons. So whenever I need to know the deeper meaning of any of their songs (which I do almost everytime a new song publishes) I check out your channel. And oh my gosh, what an amazing explanation each and every time you provide... amazing. I also have started listening to many other pop bands just because of your amazing way of explaining the things. A ton of love from an Indian fan. Keep up the good work. 👍

I enjoyed your commentary very much. I think that the phase "How I feel" is what is meant by said too much! You're always expressing how you feel in life but then it's never enough. 😁 That's what makes this song so great is that it is what it is. Every word is explained in itself!
Could you please explain Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve?
Lookalike by Conan Gray and Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi are both crazy good with some emotional lyrics!
First I love your content you are so amazing
"Show me your garden that's bursting into life" is the best line in any song ever. I think of when me and my woman of 21 years first made love that's what it means to me. Although I have had encounters with many women and I've had children with other women with me and her and love it was a complete different experience with an eye opener it was an Awakening. I was beside myself to say the least.
Great video ❤❤💓
Thank you for this explanation. Obviously I can’t argue with the writer but for me this song explains the relationship between my mother and I. She was an addict and we had a complicated relationship. No matter how much I loved her I had a hard time saying it because of my fear that she would hurt me again. She passed away a clean woman in 2015, too little to late? I would give anything to be next to her again, forget the world, and just love her. The garden is heaven, when I will see her again. It will be bursting with life and perhaps I will come to know the mother I should have had free of drugs, alcohol, and the stain of this world.
