"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

Channeled Song: “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac

Interpretation: Being forced to make a decision.

And sorry I could not travel both

Channeled Song: “I Wish” by R. Kelly

Interpretation: Wishing he could have taken both paths.

And be one traveler, long I stood

Channeled Song: “Alone” by Heart

Interpretation: Travelling alone.

And looked down one as far as I could

Channeled Song: “As” by Stevie Wonder

Interpretation: Looking as far as he could.

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Channeled Song: “Secret” by Madonna

Interpretation: Thinking something is hiding in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,

Channeled Song: “Everyday Is A Winding Road” by Sheryl Crow

Interpretation: Both paths looking treacherous.

And having perhaps the better claim

Channeled Song: “Follow Me” by Uncle Kracker

Interpretation: Wanting to follow this path.

Because it was grassy and wanted wear,

Channeled Song: “Soft and Wet” by Prince

Interpretation: The grass wet with dew.

Though as for that the passing there

Channeled Song: “Stormy Weather” by Etta James

Interpretation: The rain leveling the path.

Had worn them really about the same,

Channeled Song: “Human Nature” by Michael Jackson

Interpretation: Reflecting on a human’s nature to prolong decision making.

And both that morning equally lay

Channeled Song: “Wide Open Spaces” by The Chicks

Interpretation: Both spaces looking the same.

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Channeled Song: “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas

Interpretation: No footprints in the mud.

Oh, I marked the first for another day!

Channeled Song: “Celebration” by Kool & The Gang

Interpretation: Celebrating a win.

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

Channeled Song: “You Will Know” by Stevie Wonder

Interpretation: Knowing how his story will end.

I doubted if I should ever come back.

Channeled Song: “Reasons” by Earth, Wind & Fire

Interpretation: Not having a reason to come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Channeled Song: “Memories” by Morris Albert

Interpretation: Having unsettling memories.

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Channeled Song: “Yesterday” by The Beatles

Interpretation: Feeling like yesterday.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

Channeled Song: “If” by Janet Jackson

Interpretation: Wonder if.

I took the one less traveled by,

Channeled Song: “It’s My Life” by Bon Jovi

Interpretation: Making a life-altering decision.

And that has made all the difference. 

Channeled Song: “Changes” by David Bowie

Interpretation: Making a decision that changed his life.

You will want to know that the author was referring to two women instead of an actual road.
