The easy listening radio format has been generally but not completely superseded by the "Lite AC" form of Adult contemporary music radio. Beautiful music is a subset of easy listening music, since, as a radio format, it had rigid standards for instrumentation (e.g., few or no saxophones) and restrictions on how many vocal pieces could be played in an hour. It is sometimes called Nostalgia music. Often, songs were re-arranged instrumental "cover" versions of popular songs of the 1960s and 1970s custom-produced for the radio format during its peak in popularity.
The term "easy listening" has sometimes been applied negatively in the years since it went out of fashion. It is similar to what is called "lounge" or "lounge core", but lounge music is much more jazz-oriented and dependent on musical improvisation than easy listening. Easy listening music is usually orchestrated by an arranger rather than improvised by a small ensemble.
Since easy listening music as such is rather unknown to the younger generation, the term "easy listening" is often incorrectly applied to other genres such as soft rock, soft pop, smooth jazz, or new age music. However this problem arises due to the fact that the actual definition is relatively broad. Easy listening music is also sometimes referred to as "mood music", "elevator music" (and in the UK as "lift music"). The term "Muzak" is occasionally used as a (usually derogatory) synonym for easy listening music as well, but that is erroneous as Muzak specifically refers to the music produced and programmed for public places by the Muzak Corporation, and is not a music genre in itself.
Heartbeats
José Gonzålez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
And you, you knew the hands of the devil
And you, kept us awake with wolfs teeth
Sharing different heartbeats
In one night
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
The lyrics to José Gonzålez's song Heartbeats are about a transformative experience between two people. It chronicles the emotional journey of a couple who have one night to explore each other's sentiments and push the boundaries of what they both thought was possible. The song is an ode to the beauty of fleeting experiences, the vastness of love and intimacy, and the search for something that is transcendent and meaningful.
The first verse talks about the initial meeting where the two individuals were confused and under the influence. They had a promise made between them, and both had a sense of divine intuition which allowed them to know what to say to each other. The line "mind is a razor blade" seems to suggest the sharpness and intensity of the emotional experience they shared.
The second verse talks about the continuation of their relationship, where they had ten days of perfect tunes and experienced the colors red and blue - possibly indicating a multi-faceted experience. They had a promise made, and they were in love.
The third verse describes a darker aspect of their experience, where one of the individuals knew the "hands of the devil" and kept them awake with "wolf's teeth." Despite this, they continued to share different heartbeats in one night - a powerful metaphor for the deep connection they had.
Overall, the lyrics to Heartbeats are enigmatic and thought-provoking. The song highlights the deep and complex nature of human relationships, and the power they have to change and transform us.
Line by Line Meaning
One night to be confused
A single moment of confusion
One night to speed up truth
One fleeting night to hasten the truth
We had a promise made
We made a pact
Four hands and then away
We parted, each with two hands
Both under influence
Both of us were influenced
We had divine scent
We were privy to a heavenly fragrance
To know what to say
Knowing just what to say
Mind is a razor blade
The mind can be as sharp as a razor
To call for hands of above
To implore the aid of a higher power
To lean on
To rely on
Wouldn't be good enough
Would not suffice
For me, no
At least, not for me
One night of magic rush
A night of enchanted fervor
The start a simple touch
It all began with a mere touch
One night to push and scream
One night to push boundaries and scream out loud
And then relief
Followed by relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
Ten days of perfect harmony
The colors red and blue
The hues of red and blue
We had a promise made
We made a vow
We were in love
We shared a deep love
And you, you knew the hands of the devil
You were familiar with the devil's ways
And you, kept us awake with wolfs teeth
And you kept us alert with wolf-like astuteness
Sharing different heartbeats
Our hearts beat at different rhythms
In one night
In a single, timeless night
