His mother played songs by Frank Sinatra to him as a child, and he later became a fan of Motown and other R&B/soul music. He took piano lessons as a child, but he did not like them. He would skip the lessons and ride his bicycle across the bridge from his grandfather's farm over to the heart of the black "Chicken Hill" ghetto, where he could just listen and absorb the music.
In the 1960s, Hall attended Temple University, but did not graduate, preferring instead to spend his time singing on the street corners and play with various musicians and groups. At that time, Daryl Hohl (as he was called then) sang backup for different bands. He eventually changed his last name to Hall. Daryl Hall idolized the Temptations and began to perform session work as a singer. He first met John Oates at a band competition.
After John transferred to a different school, Daryl joined the band Gulliver, which released one eponymous album in 1969 before being dropped from their label.
Daryl is the host of the wildly popular online show entitled "Live From Daryl's House", where Daryl and the band collaborate with artists from various musical genres on the 15th of each month. The first episode aired in 2007, and it's still going strong. Best of all, it's free to watch.
I'm Still In Love With You
Daryl Hall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Being here with you, being near with you
I can't explain myself
Why I feel like I do
Though it hurts me so to let you know that I
Look in your eyes to let me know
How you feel
Let me know that love is really real
That I'm wrapped up in your love
Don't you know that I'm
(Still in love, in love with you)
Sho' 'nuff in love with you, hey
And I look in your eyes
And all the years I see
Me lovin' you and you lovin' me
Well it seems to me
That I'm wrapped up in your love
Hey, ah-ha, ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, ah-ha
Don't you know that I'm
(Still in love, in love with you)
Sho' 'nuff in love with you
Say I try it if you want me to
Ah-ha. ah-ha. aah. ah, ah, ah
The lyrics of the song “I'm Still In Love With You” express the intense feelings of a person for their significant other. The singer is spending his day thinking about the girl he loves and how being near her makes him feel.

It hurts him to let her know how he feels, but he looks into her eyes to see that she loves him too. This reassures him that the love they share is real.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals that he sees a future with the person he loves. He can picture himself loving her and being loved by her for many years to come. The phrase “wrapped up in your love” repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the strength of their love and how it consumes him. He can't help but feel intensely for her, even if it hurts him sometimes.

OMG Daryl is around 60 years old here and he can still sing like that and hit the high notes. This is one of my favorite Al Green songs and Daryl did Al proud with this. Wonderful.
