Where the water flows to - that's when faith finds youĪ girl that he is smitten with whom is no one special and doesn't get much attention. ![]() Where the bones'll show through - suffering Where the land is low is - When times are rough Sparks are whirling faster - my faith burns stronger (could also be a reference to Sufism, twirling dervishes, etc.) Has sparked up in me - repetition - still discussing finding faithĪs dog cries for a master - As I long for you, God Mirrored in devotion - I mirror my inner faith with my devotion to you Has started in me as - I am finding faith Until it's silence burns you - This again reminds me of the Rumi poem where "the silence IS the answer" Wrap me up and reverse this - take me into your light, and reverse the curse - love me Even though he's just a lonely little loyal "nobody" - a love dog, drowned in anonymity.Ĭurse me out in free verse - I agree with a previous poster: reference to the bible? The speaker is asking to feel god's love. You howl you hallelujahs at the full moon. Bella Luna actually literally means: Beautiful moon, also: Full moon. Love dog - someone who longs for the connection with and to feel god's love: I know why you yearn so, why you remain so devout.Įther = heavens, you look up at the heavens, and howl hallelujah, I think the moon reference is imagery that plays into the dog metaphor.

This intrigued me, so I began researching Rumi, and two things happened: I discovered his wonderful poetry, and learned that someone in TVOTR is definitely a fan.

To my father, my O.G., my first teacher: You inspire me in every move that I make. Thank you to my Parkwood crew, my slab, Dream, and all of the talented producers involved. Thank you to all of the pioneers who originate culture, to all of the fallen angels whose contributions have gone unrecognized for far too long. “He was my godmother and the first person to expose me to a lot of the music and culture that serve as inspiration for this album. A big thank you to my Uncle Johnny,” she wrote. And a special thanks to my beautiful husband and muse, who held me down during those late nights in the studio. “I want to give a special thank you to Rumi, Sir, and Blue for allowing me the space, creativity, and inspiration. In a post on her website in July 2022, Beyoncé dedicated her album to her husband, Jay-Z three kids, Rumi, Sir and Blue and her uncle Johnny, her late first cousin, as well as other members of her family.
