"Beautiful" is beautiful. It's about family love and the wonderful parts of winter and summer. It's the counterbalance to all those emotions that are outrageous and don't feel like love.
From our northeastern winters there is hardly anything more jolly than the snowman. By itself, the snowman's the perfect symbol of winter fun. There's usually a family involved in making that snowman. Mom, Dad and the kids all playing together. Bet there was a snowball fight, too! Do you see the snow angel?
The adoptions are precursors of love and joy. (Obviously, for this family they work. You wouldn't do something three times if it didn't prove to your liking.)
And summertime, summertime! Go kart: you "don't need a ticket to ride" it. (Sounds like our man Simon is alluding to another group's work, no?) Water slides, candy stands and those children in the pool. Is there any sound more joyous than a bunch of kids in a pool?
Stuck by itself, "Beautiful" would be corny, sappy, Pollyanna-ish. But in a group with other musings on the mind, it's necessary to round the picture. Love and happiness do exist in the human mind. Perhaps not as often as we'd like, but you couldn't have things that "don't feel like love" if you didn't also have love.
