Funeral Song: Left and Right
Left and Right by Charlie Puth and Jungkook
Song Lyrics
Memories follow me left and right
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind (what you gon’ do now?)
Ever since the d-day y-you went away (no, I don’t know how)
How to erase your body from out my brain (what you gon’ do now?)
Maybe I should just focus on me instead (but all I think about)
Are the nights we were tangled up in your bed
Oh no (oh no)
Oh no (oh no)
You’re goin’ ’round in circles
Got you stuck up in my head, yeah
Memories follow me left and right
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind
Your love stays with me day and night
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind (what you gon’ do now?)
Ever since the d-day y-you went away (someone tell me how)
How much more do I gotta drink for the pain (what you gon’ do now?)
You did things to me that I just can’t forget (now all I think about)
Are the nights we were tangled up in your bed
Oh no (oh no)
Oh no (oh no)
You’re going ’round in circles
Got you stuck up in my head, yeah
Memories follow me left and right
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind (of my mind)
Your love stays with me day and night
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind (what you gon’ do now?)
Did you know you’re the one that got away?
And even now, baby, I’m still not okay
Did you know that my dreams, they’re all the same
Every time I close my eyes?
Memories follow me left and right
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind (what you gon’ do now?)
Your love stays with me day and night
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind (what you gon’ do now?)
(Whoa)
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind (what you gon’ do now?)
Song interpretation:
If you’re looking for a soothing song to play in a funeral service or even after the burial to soothe your sorrow, Charlie Puth and Jungkook’s collaboration called Left and Right is the perfect upbeat song to appease your grieving heart. This very popular song is a good choice with its upbeat and happy melody. It debuted at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart when it was released. It eventually became the best-selling song, topping the Digital Song Sales Chart.
And that’s not surprising because it stars two pop icons. This pop-rock song expresses mixed emotions that most people usually feel when they lose a dear loved one. It is evident how hard it is in these lines to recover the loss of someone you hold so close to your heart:
“Ever since the d-day y-you went away (someone tell me how)
How much more do I gotta drink for the pain (what you gon’ do now?)
You did things to me that I just can’t forget (now all I think about)”
Unfortunately, grief is an unwelcome stranger that often invades your life when you lose a beloved person. And this stranger tends to overstay his welcome and cannot be hurried along until you learn to accept the situation. That’s why it is very hard to move past losing someone because the painful loss could reverberate in your mind. As seen in these words:
“Memories follow me left and right
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind (what you gon’ do now?)
Fortunately, heart-warming memorial songs can make a world of difference by helping you heal and find peace. If you’re reading this because you lost someone special, we are so sorry for your loss. We hope you take comfort in knowing that you are not alone during these trying times. You can find solace in music like this Left and Right piece.
Remember, music is a universal language that could help distract from the pain while showing there’s still hope for a better tomorrow. And as the song says, even if your loved one passes away, that loving feeling never leaves or fades:
“Your love stays with me day and night
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind (what you gon’ do now?)”
This incredibly positive song with its catchy melody and touching lyrics is a great choice for your funeral playlist. Although it’s not a traditional choice, this music has the power to uplift spirits and remind everyone that hope springs eternal and love never fades. It’s no wonder why the beautiful lyrics are stuck reverberating in a lot of people’s heads because of its uplifting message. It will serve as a comforting and healing song during the funeral and even the time after.
