A lyrical love letter to Goa

DEAR GOA,

There are times when lyrics seem to echo the very emotions we feel for a beloved place. Here are a few that feel like they have been especially written for our beloved Goa.

BLESSED WITH THE BEST

"Sun in my eyes, navy blue skies, you are the reason I can survive," from This is How You Fall in Love by Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler, perfectly describes Goa — kissed by the sun and blessed with endless blue skies.

ADDICTED TO YOU

Anyone bidding farewell to Goa after a vacation will resonate with the lyrics of Just Can't Get Enough by the Black Eyed Peas: "I wouldn't wanna have it any other way. I'm addicted and I just can't get enough."

ALL WE NEED

As for Goans, they will forever sing along to Ed Sheeran's Tenerife Sea with the heartfelt words: "Should this be the last thing I see, I want you to know it's enough for me. ’Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need."

SO IN LOVE

In Goa, love feels just like Coldplay describes in feelslikeimfallinginlove: "Oh, it feels like I'm fallin' in love. You're throwing me a lifeline and this is for a lifetime, I know."

MOMENTS OF SILENCE

The lyrics, “I knew I was in love with you when we sat in silence” from the song Silence by Before You Exit, captures the feeling of sitting by the Goan sea, watching the waves roll in, and finding peace in shared, quiet moments.

AND ULTIMATELY,

No matter how far Goans are scattered across the globe, they will always find solace in Ben Böhmer's Home: "When we are apart, still feels like home."
