Based on sales, Boyz II Men is one of the most successful R&B groups of all time, having recorded five #1 pop hits between 1992 and 1997. They have since topped sales of 25 million records. Three of their #1 hits, "End of the Road", "I'll Make Love to You", and "One Sweet Day" (a duet with Mariah Carey), set and broke records for the longest period of time a single remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Boyz II Men were originally signed to Motown Records from 1990 to 2000, at which point they were moved to parent label Universal Records. After the 2000 album Nathan Shawn Michael Wanya, Boyz II Men moved to Arista Records. In 2003, Michael McCary left the group due to chronic back problems resulting from scoliosis. As of 2005, Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Nathan Morris continue to tour and record as a trio.
4 Seasons Of Loneliness
Boyz II Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you were mine
But now those days are memories in time
Life's empty, without you
By my side
My heart belongs to you
No matter what I try
It always falls apart 'cause they just can't compare to you
You're the one that makes me bow under ball and chain
Reminisce, think about
As I watch 4 seasons to change
Here comes the winter breeze
That chills the air and hits the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe (as springtime)
As springtime makes it's way here, lilac blooms remind me of
The scent of your perfume
Reminisce inside of love,
On summer nights, indeed
I always get the hots for you (ooh)
Go skinny dipping in the ocean where we used to do
No no chance the leaves of trees are bare, when you're not here
It doesn't feel the same
It doesn't feel the same
Oh
Remember
The nights when (remember the night)
When we closed our eyes (when we closed our eyes)
And vowed that you and I would be in love for all time
Every time I think about these things I shared
(Think about these things I shared)
I'm not gonna cry, 'cause I get so emotional (I get so emotional)
Underneath it makes me think I'm under ball and chain
Reminisce in our love
As I watch 4 seasons change
Here comes the winter breeze that
That chills the air and hits the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
The springtime makes it's way here lilac blooms reminds me of
The scent of your perfume (Ooh)
On summer nights, indeed
I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dipping in the ocean where we used to do
No no chance the leaves of trees are bare when you're not here
It doesn't feel the same
This loneliness has crushed my heart (it's killing me baby)
Please let me love again (just one more thing)
Cause I'm devoted girl find me and ease my pain
But 4 seasons will bring
The loneliness again
Here comes the winter breeze that
Chills the air and hits the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
When springtime makes it way here,
Lilac blooms reminds me of
The scent of your perfume (Summer nights)
On summer nights, indeed
I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dipping in the ocean where we used to do
(Go skinny dipping oh,oh)
No no chance the leaves of trees are bare when you're not here
It doesn't feel the same
Remember,
The warmth of,
Days gone by.
The lyrics of Boyz II Men's song "4 Seasons of Loneliness" encapsulate the pain of missing someone who was once an integral part of one's life but has now gone away. The song focuses on the four seasons, which bring back memories of happier times with the person who is no longer present. The lyrics are filled with longing, heartache, and a desperate hope to be reunited with the lost love once again.
The song talks about the memories of the past when the two of them were together and how at present, those times are just memories. The pain of being without the person, the loneliness, and misery are all expressed through the lyrics. The singer compares the present people in his life with his lost love and finds them lacking. Every time he tries to move on and finds somebody new, he feels like he's trapped under a ball and chain, and it all comes back to his lost love.
The chorus, "Here comes the winter breeze that chills the air and hits the snow, and I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe," talks about the changing of seasons and how each season reminds the singer of his lost love. The sentiment is repeated throughout the song, as the seasons change, and life goes on, the singer remains stuck in his grief for his lost love.
