I'm about to get on a plane to new york city
I'm about to leave this town that's left me feeling so empty
its just me and my guitar and my words
yeah, together we can take on the world
now i've been dreaming bout this since I was young
to get on that stage, i'll show them just where i'm from
and i'll show i'm only alright when i'm up there
I'm only me when i'm up there
as i pack my things I check both my empty pockets
and there's still nothing there
no, there's still nothing there
I turn to my left I see my mother crying
she says to me "why couldn't you have been a doctor or a lawyer?"
I say "come on, you know we've been through this before"
I turn and smile to her as I walked out her door
and I said i'm only alright when i'm up there
I'm only me when i'm up there
The song "Big Apple Big Heart" by Craig Owens has an obvious meaning. This song is about a guy and how music means everything to him. It's his passion, desire, and dream in life. Creating and preforming his music is the one thing that makes him happy. Even though what he does as a career doesn't make him a lot of money, or please his mother, it doesn't matter to him because it's the only thing that feels right to him. "I'm about to leave this town that's left me feeling so empty" is a metaphor that really means that the town he is living in doesn't fully satisfy him. This song also contains repitition, for example "there's still nothing there" is repeated in this song. Lastly, for me, this song creates imagery of someone preforming music on stage. This song can be inspiration to many people.
