What stikes my attention just watching the music video is the coloured figure, that stands out from the dark background. In particular is interesting how this picture has a double meaning. Indeed it can be seen as an angel with no head and large wings, but if you look more carefully you can also see a taurus. The title, "I wish you peace" is perfectly associated to the song, which has a slow rhytm that conveys peaceful feelings. In addition the intelligent reader is interested in finding out who the addressee is ad would like to know why the speaking voice is whishing peace to a unidentified “You” There isn’t a regular pattern: the text is arranged into two parts with a different number of lines. The intelligent reader is curious about the function of these two parts. Now moving foreword considering the lyrics. Just reading the lyrics the reader can easily notice that there is a refrain, created by the anaphora "I wish you" that appears seven times in the text. As a consequence the reader understands that the singer addresses a "You",who I suppose to be someone dear to the singer, but it also could refer to the listener. After reading the lyrics and listening to the song,I think it conveys a sense of protection, but also a feeling of hope, making the readers believe that all will be okay. I consider this song perfect to listen in this period, because we all need some piece from this situation and this song make us feel understood and loved.
