Higher Love
Charming Horses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think about it
There must be higher love
Down in my heart
Hidden in the stars above
Without it
Life is wasted time
Look inside your heart
I'll look inside mine

Things look so bad
Everywhere
In this whole world
What is fair?
We walk blind
We try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's the higher love I've been thinking of?

Worlds are turning
We're just hanging on
Facing our fear
Standing out there alone
A yearning and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me

Things look so bad
Everywhere
In this whole world
What is fair?
We walk blind
We try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
A good kind of love, want a higher love

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love




Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Charming Horses's song Higher Love call for a deeper, more meaningful kind of love that transcends the tangible and earthly. The song expresses that there must be more than just physical attraction or a superficial connection, a “higher love” that resides in the heart and in the stars above. Without this kind of love, life is mundane and unfulfilled. The lyrics offer a call to action, imploring the listener to look inside themselves and seek out this higher love that they know must exist.


The song's lyrics also touch on the challenges and difficulties of the world we live in, where things often seem unfair and people are just trying to get by. But amidst the chaos, there is a yearning for something greater, an authentic connection with another person. The repeated chorus reinforces this, calling out for a higher love that is often elusive but greatly desired.


Overall, the song's lyrics evoke a sense of hopefulness and longing for a love that is more meaningful and profound than what the world often offers. It encourages us to look beyond the surface and seek out a deeper connection with others and with ourselves.

Really lost the emotional context of the original. Just way too happy. Too poppy. Sorry.

@Thefighterspider

I like it. But it's just a copy of 80s song. Maybe they should create something new and their own.

@kamzjx

Your wish did come true: This song got more attention through Kygo's and Whitney's version!

The original HIGHER LOVE will forever remind me of my late aunt. She played the tape in her truck all the time back in the day. I miss her tons. She is in heaven or wherever cool people go playing with all of her dogs! I clicked on this video because of the dog! Haha. And stayed for the song. Well done.
