One Man Symphony
Andy Stochansky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The greatest, the latest, melody
I wrote it all for you
This is sent by satellite
World is listening tonight
And they want to know your name
If you really want the fame
Or if you hear my guitar
Is the frequency just right
Can you hear my song tonight
This is all I have to give a one man symphony
One day all the world will hear my one man symphony
This is my own opera for you
Would you make the curtain call
Would all the papers talk
All the gold out in the world
Could not keep this from the girl
Or the corporation few
Could not keep this song from you
This is true, not counterfeit
This is true, this is legit
If you sense the warning light
Ask the kids out there tonight
This is all I have to give a one man symphony
One day all the world will hear my one man symphony
This is all I have to give a one man symphony
This is all I have to give a one man symphony
One day all the world will know my one man symphony
The song "One Man Symphony" by Andy Stochansky is a tribute to a loved one who inspired the singer to write a symphony just for them. It's an ode to the power of love and music, and how one person can create something beautiful on their own. The song starts with the lyrics "This is my own symphony for you, the greatest, the latest, melody, I wrote it all for you," sending a message of love and dedication to the person who inspired the symphony. The song also references the fact that it's being sent out via satellite, which suggests that this symphony is meant for more than just the one person it was written for. The singer wonders if the intended recipient can even hear the music, and if the rest of the world is listening.
The second verse continues to delve into the singer's hopes and dreams for the symphony, asking if the recipient would attend an opera based on the symphony and if it would be talked about in papers. The song then goes on to suggest that the power of the music is so great that it can't be kept from anyone, even with all the gold in the world or corporate interference. The song concludes with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing that this "one man symphony" is all the singer has to give, but one day the world will know it.
Overall, "One Man Symphony" explores the depths of love and music, and how the combination of the two can create something truly beautiful and powerful.
