Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
You'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be
The thrill is gone
The thrill away for good
All the thrill is gone baby
It's gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be open armed baby
Just like I know, I know I should
I'm free now baby
I'm free from your spell
Free, free, free now baby
Baby, I'm free from your spell
Now that it's all over
All that I can do is wish you well
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away for good
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away for good
You know you done me wrong baby
You'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
I'm free from your spell, baby
Yes, I'm free oh I'm free from your spell
"The Thrill is Gone" is a blues song recorded by B.B. King and friends in 1969. The song talks about the end of a romance and the feeling of disappointment and loneliness that comes with it. The lyrics capture the emotions of a man who knows that his lover has betrayed him and he also knows that things will never be the same again. All the excitement and joy that he experienced in the past have vanished, and he is left with a sense of emptiness.
The lyrics show a man who has accepted that the thrill he once felt in the relationship is gone. Even though he knows that he will be lonely, he has decided to move on with his life. He tells his lover that she will be sorry someday for treating him poorly. He realizes that he is free from her spell and that he can look forward to a brighter future.

I shall be 84 years old in a week and listening to this song/music. And sometimes, I will dance alone in my study room while listening.

Let no shame be in your game. I am 85, was raised in this music environment. It has kept me alive when I wanted to die, lifted me up from my lowest points of life. I will play it until I can't.
