Guitar
Andy Allo & Prince Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take your guitar
I'll take my keys
Let's start a band
We can play in my sheets
I'll play the bass if you take the lead
I'll keep the time if you keep the beat
Play me a song
Anything that you like
The progressions, the end, all those you write
All those lyrics you write
On your guitar
On your guitar
Put your hands round my neck
Now pluck my strings
I know it depends on the music I bring
Keep playing me like a guitar
Hit all my notes
Be my super star
And
Play me a song
Anything that you like
The progressions, the end, all those you write
All those lyrics you write
On your guitar
On your guitar
So don't be shy
Come play your song
I'm down to listen all night long
Just set the mood
Bring love and tunes
And we can both perform
Bring your guitar
I have my keys
Boy come play my melody
Let's play all night
A symphony
Let's let the music set us free
And play me a song
Anything that you like
The progressions, the end, all those you write
All those lyrics you write




On your guitar
On your guitar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Guitar" by Andy Allo and Prince describe a passionate invitation to make music together as a way of expression and connection between two souls. The song starts with the line "Take your guitar, I'll take my keys, let's start a band, we can play in my sheets". The playful suggestion of starting a band and playing music in bed creates an intimate and comfortable atmosphere where there are no boundaries or expectations.


The second verse highlights the importance of mutual contribution and support in creating music. "I'll play the bass if you take the lead, I'll keep the time if you keep the beat" emphasizes the need for cooperation and collaboration in music-making, reflecting the idea that the best music comes from the organic flow of ideas and sounds between musicians. The song's bridge "put your hands around my neck, now pluck my strings, I know it depends on the music I bring" uses the metaphor of playing someone's body like a guitar, which further emphasizes the connection and intimacy between two people creating music.


The repetitive chorus "play me a song, anything that you like, the progressions, the end, all those you write on your guitar" conveys the idea that music created together is a form of self-expression that is shaped by the identity and personality of each musician. The song celebrates the freedom, creativity, and collaboration that music offers, as well as the intimacy and closeness that can be achieved between two musicians.
