Her playing attracted the attention of bass player Ray Brown, who brought her into touch with influential teachers and producers. At the age of seventeen, she won a scholarship from the Vancouver Jazz Festival to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. After three terms she moved to Los Angeles to study with Jimmy Rowles, with whom she also began to sing. In 1990, Krall relocated to New York. She is married to British musician Elvis Costello.
Let's Fall In Love
Diana Krall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm concealing, I don't know why
It's just a mental, sentimental alibi
But I adore you
So strong for you
Why go on stalling
I am falling
Why be shy?
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it?
Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have an end for each other
To be or not to be
Let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
We might have an end for each other
To be or not to be
Let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
In "Let's Fall In Love," Diana Krall expresses her feelings of deep love for someone she is initially hesitant to express them to. She suggests that her hesitance may be just a mental or sentimental alibi, indicating that she might be afraid of rejection or committing herself too fully to the relationship. However, her love for this person is so strong that she cannot resist the urge to take the risk and fall in love.
Krall encourages her lover to abandon their doubts and fears, and follow their hearts in taking a chance on their love. She suggests that it is time to make their own paradise, and even though they may not fully understand what that paradise may be, they should try to create it together. She also points out that they may be meant to be together but cannot know for sure until they take the leap and let their hearts discover the true nature of their desires.
Overall, the song celebrates the joy and beauty of falling in love, the power of the heart to guide us towards our destiny, and the bravery required to take the risks necessary to create a fulfilling relationship.
