Their LPs were individualized by the slogan "The Sound of Magnificence", a puffy cloud logo and sepia-toned photo of the orchestra. According to the photograph, the 101 Strings orchestra was composed of 124 string instruments (all male except for the harpist) and was conducted by Wilhelm Stephan. The orchestra's famous official photograph was taken in the Musikhalle Hamburg. In reality, of course, the recordings also featured a full brass, woodwind and percussion section, and not quite as many strings as are shown in the photograph. In later years (right up to the 80's), the recordings were made by a session orchestra in London, with a line-up including a modern "pop" rhythm section. In the late 1990's, the 101 Strings Orchestra was revived with "The New 101 Strings Orchestra" for a series of modern recordings.

Fly Me to the Moon
101 Strings Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a, Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song

And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true

In other words, in other words
I love you.

Overall Meaning

Fly Me To The Moon by 101 Strings Orchestra is a song filled with dreams and aspirations. The lyrics of the song are a plea to be taken on a space journey, to reach the moon and stars, to escape the mundane existence of life and explore the unknown. The song's verses talk about how the singer wants to see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars, to play among the stars, and explore the wonders of the universe. In this fantastical journey, the singer requests their beloved to hold their hand and kiss them, to share the adventure and the euphoria.

The chorus of Fly Me To The Moon picks up the pace with the singer asking to be filled with song and sing forevermore. The beloved is their inspiration, their longing. In other words, the singer is declaring their love, asking the beloved to be true to them. The repetition of these lines cements the depth of the love and adoration the singer has for their beloved, soaring high above the world and journeying through space.

The song serves as an escapist fantasy, a dream of a life beyond the ordinary where love soars high, and the universe is infinite. It's a hope that, together, these two lovers can beat all odds and take on the world and the unknown, hand in hand.

Line by Line Meaning

Fly me to the moon
Take me to a place far away from here

Let me play among the stars
Let me explore and have fun in this new place

Let me see what spring is like on a, Jupiter and Mars
Let me experience the natural beauty of other planets

In other words, hold my hand
I want to feel close to you and be comforted by you

In other words, baby, kiss me
I want to feel your love and passion through a kiss

Fill my heart with song
Bring joy and happiness into my life

And let me sing for ever more
Allow me to express my feelings and emotions through music

You are all I long for
You are the only one I desire

All I worship and adore
You are someone I deeply respect and love

In other words, please be true
I hope that you are genuine and honest with me

In other words, I love you
I am deeply in love with you and want to express it

To Mr Battaglini : Sir, my heartfelt thanks to you for putting this all-time masterwork on YT. This is music I grew up to, & sadly, i know, we'll not hear the likes of this, ever again. ---------------------------MJL< 77 y/o

Un verdadero GUSTO haber reencontrado este magnífico disco: mi padre lo tenía y lo tocaba continuamente. A pesar de ser un niño, la esencia romántica siempre me llegó. En México lo editó la ya difunta compañía DISCOS MAYA, que tantos espléndidos acetatos nos regaló. Gracias Gustavo Morales por recuperar tan linda música.

It was in the Spring of '67, when I purchased this album for then, all of $1.89 . it is simply gorgeous --------and I'm shocked & so disappointed that it has yet to be made into CD. Folks, this is music, the likes of which we'll not ever hear, again. -----------------MJL, 76 y/o

I am 14, and when I was younger my parents would play this as I fell to sleep. I adore this record and still have it and play it a lot. I hope I can share this with my children some day. :)

There is no way to properly express my sadness ---------we'll not hear music like this, ever again. I'd heard this piece on the radio, " Dolly Holiday Presents " , the Holiday Inn music show in Denver, on AM 1630, KOSI, from 0100 hours to 0500., 7 nights a week. Those days are, sadly, long, long, gone. That we'll not see or hear them ever again, is just too sad. -------------MJL, 76 y/o

I feel so badly for today's youth -----they know nothing of great music , & even greater instrumental music. Such a shame. -------I grew up to this & I am so very grateful. ----------------MJL< 75 y/o

I dig your sentiments. Yet, have faith that "today's youth" will find their way toward their own precious musical memories, just as we and every generation before us done. Music is life and embodies life! Cheers to you!

I own this album, & it is a treasure. i've never seen it on CD, but then, maybe that's a good thing. ------all I know is this is music I never--ever tire of. ---------------WolfSky9, 71 y/o

@Vagabond1997

You're right. It is a good thing it's only on vinyl since that is the only way you can hear the entire acoustic range of sound properly. CDs cut off the top and bottom end of the sound spectrum and then sample the music stream like taking snapshots every so often. You can't hear the entire sound range and complete songs on CDs, at least not the way the composer intended. This album is a masterpiece and I"m glad they never butchered it on a CD.

The very 1st time I heard this album was late on an early Sunday AM radio show that came on KOSI , 1630 AM, in Denver, called " The Dolly Holiday Show ", a syndicated show sponsored by Holiday Inns & featuring a female DJ, called " Dolly Holiday " , from 1AM, to 5 AM, every night .----------on this particular night, she played the album in it's entirety , as I was laying in bed, a heart broken 20 y/o, having recently been dumped ------DUMPED ------by the very 1st, Love of my life. -----------She was 16 going on 35, and she dumped me ------said " Bye Mike " , & got out of the car, walked to her door, without ever looking back. I was totally devastated. --------This music brought her back & though it made me sad, I longed to remember every moment. --------It was in the winter-----February, of '67. How I wish I could return now. 2020 is just a terrible time. ---------------------------------------WolfSky9

Folks -----------AS Mr Sinatra once said, " You can wait around & hope, but you'll not see or hear, the likes of this, ever again. " ---------So sad, & so true.--------Especially, here in 2020, a terrible time , when just trying to survive each day, is a challenge.---------WolfSky9

Dislikes? hahahahaha... poor of them.

@johncapurso9313

Bought this record in late 1950s for $1.00. Still have it and play often. Wonder who is female singer? Hamburg Philharmonic is wonderful, nothing like 100+ orchestra.
