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.

Look of Love
101 Strings Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't
disguise

The look of love
Is saying so much more than
Just words could every say

And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

[Chorus]
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Baby be mine, tonight

Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow
And seal it with a kiss

[Chorus]

Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
The look of love

Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And baby we'll seal it with a kiss

[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The Look of Love is a song that expresses profound love and affection for someone through the eyes. The first two lines establish the main theme of the song. The singer is stating that they see love in their lover's eyes which can't be hidden by any expressions or smiles. The third line begins by explicitly defining the term 'The Look of Love' and the idea that the feeling conveyed through looks is more potent than mere verbal expressions. The fourth and fifth lines of the verse indicate that the singer's heart has heard a message from their lover's eyes and the impact of the message is so significant that it has left them breathless.

The first chorus expresses the singer's yearning to hold onto their lover and feel their arms around them, emphasizing the desire to be in each other's embrace. The second verse takes off from where the first left, with a continuous emphasis on how their evening should be, making suggestions for continuation of their love before making vows to seal it with a kiss. The second chorus then repeats the same emphasis on keeping the feelings of love alive and never allowing it to fade.

The look of love
That indescribable expression that reflects deep and genuine affection
