Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothin' but blues skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
All the days are hurryin' by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
"Blue Skies" is a classic song that was originally written in 1926 by Irving Berlin but was performed later by many artists, including Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. The lyrics convey the happiness that the singer's love life provides for him, represented by the blue skies and bluebirds seen and heard. Every day seems like it is quickly passing by when you're in love, and with every passing day, the singer realizes that blue days are gone, and he only sees blue skies from now on. The repetition of the phrase "nothing but blue skies" signifies how pure and uninterrupted the joy of being in love is.
The song's happy tone, playful melody, and relatable lyrics captured people's hearts, and the song quickly became a hit. The lyrics also signify that everything feels better when you're in love, and it's like every day is a new chance to appreciate the beauty of the world around you. It implies that the weather, which is usually associated with negative feelings and emotions, becomes a source of happiness and joy when you're in love.

Lyrics
Oh, they say some people long ago
Were searching for a different tune
One that they could croon
As only they can
They only had the rhythm
So they started swaying to and fro
They didn't know just what to use
That is how the blues really began
They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that the start of the blues
And from a jail came the wail
Of a down-hearted frail
And they played that
As part of the blues
From a whippoorwill
Out on a hill
They took a new note
Pushed it through a horn
Till it was worn
Into a blue note
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it
And gave out the news
That the Southland gave birth to the blues!

When Sinatra took a drag of his cig and didn’t exhale just sang it out. Legendary

I don't think many people realize just how difficult that is to do... Your voice gets muted when you have smoke in your lungs / throat / mouth. For him to not miss that note is O.G. level skill.
The greatest entertainer of the 20th century!
