1) The Swiss duo of Felix … Read Full Bio ↴At least two artists are known as Double:
1) The Swiss duo of Felix Haug (drums and keyboards) and Kurt Maloo (guitar and vocals), formerly part of a trio called Ping Pong, scored an international hit in 1986 with the atmospheric ballad “The Captain of Her Heart” (#16 US pop, #4 US AC, #8 UK, #17 Canada) from their debut album Blue. It would be their only substantial hit, with “Devils Ball,” the lead single from 1987 follow-up album Dou3le, stalling at #71 in the UK and failing to chart in the US. The duo split in 1989 and Haug died following a heart attack in 2004.
2) Double is the stage name for Japanese R&B singer Takako Hirasawa and previously was a duo consisting of Hirasawa and her sister, Sachiko. “Shake” was the duo’s highest charting single (#21 Japan). After the death of her sister in May 1999, Takako continued as Double and is regarded as one of the first artists to bring American-style R&B to Japan. She also portrays a sexualized image, a rarity for Japanese artists.
The Captain of Her Heart
Double Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she still couldn't fall asleep.
This night the dream was leaving
She tried so hard to keep.
And with the new day's dawning
She felt it drift away.
Not only for a day
Too long ago, too long apart
She couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her heart.
As the day came up, she made a stop.
She stopped waiting another day for
The captain of her heart.
The lyrics to Double's song The Captain of Her Heart explore the feelings of a person who is in love, but unable to be with the one they love. The song begins with the singer unable to sleep, thinking about the person they love and struggling to hold onto a dream they were having. As the new day begins, the singer realizes that their dream is slipping away and that they cannot wait any longer for the one they love. They make the difficult decision to move on and stop waiting for the "captain of her heart".
The song is beautifully written and captures the melancholic feelings of unrequited love. The singer is presented as someone who has been waiting for a long time, unable to move on, until finally they have to make the hardest decision of their life. The use of maritime imagery, with the "captain of her heart", adds to the song's emotional resonance, suggesting that the singer is adrift and seeking a direction in life.

It was way past midnight
It was very late at night.
And she still couldn't fall asleep.
She was unable to fall asleep.
This night the dream was leaving
Her dream was fading away.
She tried so hard to keep.
She made a great effort to hold onto it.
And with the new day's dawning
As the new day began.
She felt it drift away.
She felt her dream slip away from her.
Not only for a cruise
It was not just a casual trip.
Not only for a day
It was not just a short journey.
Too long ago, too long apart
It had been a very long time since they were together.
She couldn't wait another day for
She was not willing to wait any longer for.
The captain of her heart.
The love of her life.
As the day came up, she made a stop.
As the new day started, she made a decision.
She stopped waiting another day for
She decided not to wait any longer for.
The captain of her heart.
The love of her life.
