“Lucky Man” by the Verve is a song I’ve been playing on repeat for the past couple of weeks. I can’t get enough of it. Yeah it’s about ten years old (or maybe even more) but the meaning resonates with me more than ever. It’s a song about moving on and really finding yourself. I really feel like in this moment in my life and what I have experienced thus far has brought me closer to realizing who I am as a unique individual. I mean I’ve always been a unique individual but now I’m at the point where I don’t need someone or something to say so. In more or less words, my happiness doesn’t rely on anybody else but with myself. And that my friend, is truly liberating. I guess that’s why the singer proclaims that he’s a lucky man.

Lucky Man lyrics
Happiness
More or less
It’s just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

Well, I’m a lucky man
With fire in my hands

Happiness
Something in my own place
I’m standing naked
Smiling, I feel no disgrace
With who I am

Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just who I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

I hope you understand
I hope you understand

Gotta love that’ll never die

Happiness
More or less
It’s just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my

Gotta love that’ll never die
Gotta love that’ll never die
No, no
I’m a lucky man

It’s just a change in me
Something in my liberty
It’s just a change in me
Something in my liberty
It’s just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
It’s just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
