All The Way
Brown James Dee Felice Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's no good unless they love you all the way
Happy to be near you
Oh, when someone cheer you all the way
Taller than the tallest tree
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless they need you all the way
Through the good years or the lean years
And all the in between years, come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us, baby
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way, all, all the way
Deeper than the deep blue sea
That's how deep it goes if it's real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless they need you all the way
All, all, all the way, all the way, all the way
The song “All the Way” by Brown James and the Dee Felice Trio is a ballad that expresses the idea that love should be complete and all-encompassing for it to be worth having. The song starts with the opening lines “When somebody loves you, it’s no good unless they love you all the way” indicating that love that isn’t ‘all the way’ isn’t love at all. The second verse suggests that true love should feel like being taller than the tallest tree and deeper than the deep blue sea. These similes help to emphasize the depth of a real love that should be felt in every bone, every inch of someone’s being.
The chorus of the song reiterates that love should be all-encompassing, and not just in good times, but during the bad times as well. The lyrics ask for love through "the good years or the lean years" and "all the in between years, come what may". It communicates the belief that love should be able to survive adversity and uncertainty on the journey of life. The bridge adds a layer of introspection and humility, admitting that the future is uncertain, nobody knows what lies ahead, and it would be foolish to say otherwise. However, the singer still promises to love the one they love “all the way” regardless of the challenges the future holds.
