Valentino
Birch Diane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I passed the wishing well and I threw my penny in
Sent a prayer on up above that you would come my way again
Yeah, I've seen some better days and in each on you were there
Running circles through the graveyard throwing daisies in the air

Oh, oh, Valentino
Oh, oh, my tears don't show
But oh honey they flow

Well, I crossed the lakes and mountains, ended up in Hollywood
Playing piano in that pink hotel just like you said I would
I kept looking out my window hoping one day you would come
Going every shade of blue under that California sun

Oh, oh, Valentino
Oh, oh, my tears don't show
But oh honey they flow

So much for the promises
So much for them daisy chains
Oh, why carry all those heavy dreams
When the only one I really want is you

Oh, oh, Valentino
Oh, oh, my tears don't show
But oh honey they flow

Oh, oh, Valentino
Oh, oh, my tears don't' show




But oh honey they flow
Oh, honey they flow, flow, flow

Overall Meaning

The song Valentino by Birch Diane tells a story of someone who is longing for a past love. The first verse talks about throwing a penny in a wishing well with a prayer that their past love will come back to them. The singer has seen better days, and in each one, their love was with them. They would run circles through the graveyard, throwing daisies in the air. The chorus has the singer calling out to Valentino, their lost love. They cry, but their tears do not show.


In the second verse, the singer crosses lakes and mountains and ends up in Hollywood, playing the piano in a pink hotel like their lost love told them they would. They spend their days looking out the window, hoping that their lost love will come back to them. They feel every shade of blue under the California sun. The chorus repeats, and the singer questions the promises of the past and the heavy dreams they carry when all they want is their lost love. The chorus repeats once again, with the singer crying out to Valentino, their tears flowing.

@turdhat

The fact that Diane is not smashing sales records is proof of how fucked up modern music and "the biz" is. DIane created a timeless album with her debut and I never get tired of it. She did something even her living influences cant seem to do anymore. She wrote songs that were recorded with a vibe that hasnt come out of a studio in 30 years. Organic, Rich and soulful without frills, fancy tricks or a rapper on every chorus. This is real. From the heart and soul and you can hear it.

@CidMcTab

Man, this should be one of the videos with 50 million views. Fantastic voice, catchy and enjoyable song, and easily the most entertaining music video I've seen in five years.

@manos7doparkour
