Unveiling the Symphony Within: An Analysis of David Archuleta's 'Glorious'

David Archuleta's song 'Glorious' from the soundtrack of the 2014 film 'Meet the Mormons' is a stirring anthem about discovering and embracing one's inner potential and purpose. The lyrics encourage listeners to recognize that despite feeling lost or aimless at times, there is a unique role for everyone, which contributes to the larger symphony of life.

The metaphor of life as a symphony runs deeply through 'Glorious,' suggesting that just as every instrument in an orchestra contributes to the overall beauty of a musical piece, every individual has something unique and beautiful to contribute to the world. Archuleta emphasizes the importance of listening—both to oneself and to the harmonies created by others—to find one's purpose and place. This act of listening and discovering helps not only the individual but also inspires others around them to awaken to their own potential.

The song's uplifting message is enhanced by its melodic structure, which builds from a gentle beginning to a powerful crescendo, mirroring the emotional and revelatory journey of self-discovery. Archuleta's gentle yet passionate delivery makes 'Glorious' resonate as an anthem of hope and individual significance, encouraging everyone to find and play their part in the grand symphony of life.
