Julia
Eurythmics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the leaves turn from green to brown
And autumn shades come tumbling down
(Julia)
To leave a carpet on the ground
Where we have laid
(Julia)
And icy breezes chill the air
(Oh Julia)
The freezing snow lies everywhere
My darling, will we still be there?
(Oh Julia)
(Julia)
When spring rejoices down the lane
And everything is new again
Will everything be just the same
Will we be there?
(Oh Julia)
And the leaves turn from green to brown
And autumn shades come tumbling down
(Julia)
To leave a carpet on the ground
Where we have laid
(Oh Julia)
(Julia)
When winter leaves her branches bare
And icy breezes chill the air
(Oh Julia)
The freezing snow lies everywhere
My darling, will we still be there?
(Julia)
Will we still be there?
Will we still be there?
(Oh Julia)
Will we still be there?
Will we, will we, will we?
Will we, will we?
(Julia)
Will we, will we?
(Julia)
Will we, will we
Will we still be there?
Will we, will we
Will we still be there?
(Julia)
Will we
Will we be there?
Will we, will we
Will we still be there?
Will we
Will we still be there?
The song "Julia" by Eurythmics is a melancholy ballad about the uncertainty and transience of life. The song addresses a woman named Julia and reflects on the passing of seasons, questioning whether the singer and Julia will still be together through the changing times. The opening lines set the scene for reflection as the singer notes the changing of leaves and autumn's arrival. As winter approaches, the mood shifts further with the singer describing the barren trees and the freezing cold snow. The refrain, "Julia, will we still be there?" posits the question of the future and whether the relationship will endure beyond the current moment.
As the song progresses, the singer turns to a hopeful tone, wondering if things will be the same in spring when everything is reborn. Still, the refrain returns, reminding the listener of the ever-present question mark of uncertainty. The use of Julia's name throughout adds a personal touch, making the song more relatable and giving insight into a specific relationship. The song ends with a reprisal of the refrain, emphasizing the importance of the question and the need for an answer.
