The tone or overall mood of the song was happy because the singer has a point and purpose in life. “Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars pointing me on my way into your loving arms” compares his previous loves to Northern stars which helped him or led him to his newly found love. Another poetic device used in the song is simile. This could also be an example of figurative language because it is not an actual broken road but it is his life.
