Like Someone in Love
Elisabeth Melander Lyrics

The opening line of Elisabeth Melander's song "Like Someone in Love" is a reflection on a feeling that courses through the song. The singer talks about how they find themselves gazing at stars, hearing guitars, and walking as though they have wings. The feeling is described as being 'like someone in love', which sets up the mood for the song. The singer's infatuation with someone is clear in their actions and in their reaction to this person being around.

What's interesting about the song is that it has a very classic feel to it. The lyrics and melody could easily belong to the American Songbook. The song was written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke and was first recorded by Bing Crosby in 1944 for the movie "Belle of the Yukon". Over the years, it has been covered by many other artists, including Nat King Cole, Bill Evans, and Ella Fitzgerald. The song's classic sound and poignant lyrics help the listener tap into their own romantic feelings, allowing them to relate to the song in a personal way.

The song provides an interesting take on the dizziness one feels when they're in love – the feeling of being 'limp as a glove'. The song speaks to the intense passion and admiration that the singer has for their love. They acknowledge that their actions and thoughts 'astound' them, but at the same time, they can't help themselves. The song's honesty and vulnerability make it a timeless classic, that has stood the test of time.
