The Dirty Dancing sound is at times all of the above: lo-fi, noisy, angular and anthemic, with touches of darkwave, a post-punk edge, a reverbed atmosphere, and handclaps galore. Depending on the track, you can hear influences as varied as The Kills, Joy Division, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Gun Club, Talking Heads, and even a little T. Rex...

These Arms of Mine
Dirty Dancing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They are lonely
Lonely and feeling blue
These arms of mine
They are yearning
Yearning from wanting you
And if you
Oh, how grateful I will be
These arms of mine
They are burning
Burning from wanting you
These arms of mine
They are wanting
Wanting to hold you
And if you
Would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
Come on, come on, baby
Just be my little woman
Just be my lover, oh
I need me somebody
Somebody to treat me right
Oh, I need your warm, loving arms to hold me tight
And I, I, I need, I need your, I need your tender lips too, oh
Hold me
Tell me when I'm lyin'
Baby, baby
The lyrics to the song "These Arms of Mine" by Otis Redding, which was famously featured in the movie Dirty Dancing, are a beautiful expression of a yearning for love and affection. The lyrics describe the loneliness and longing of the singer's arms, which are left empty and blue without the presence of the person they desire. The singer pleads with this person to allow him to hold them, promising that he will be grateful for the embrace. The burning desire expressed in the lyrics is palpable and deeply emotional, showcasing the desperate need for connection and intimacy that many of us feel.
The song "These Arms of Mine" was written by Otis Redding himself and released on his debut album "Pain in My Heart" in 1964. The song later became a hit when it was featured in the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing, which helped bring the soulful sounds of Otis Redding to a new audience. The song has remained popular over the years, with many cover versions by other artists and frequent use in movies and television shows.
