1) One of them is the American country-singer from Texas (and some of the songs listed below are in fact some of his recordings), but this is about
Frankie Miller (born 2 November 1949, in Bridgeton, Glasgow, Scotland) who is the Scottish rock singer/songwriter, who had moderate success in the 1970s with a gritty voice similar to Rod Stewart or Joe Cocker. Bob Seger has remarked that Miller was one of his favourite singers, in an article published in 1978, in Rolling Stone Magazine.
His 1974 album High Life was written and produced by Allen Toussaint.
He had several lowly placed hits in the UK Singles Chart in the 1970s and 1980s with "Be Good To Yourself" and "Caledonia". However, he reached his highest ever position of number six on the 14 October 1978 with a song entitled "Darlin'.
He diversified into acting and, in 1979, starred in Peter McDougall's TV film Just a Boy's Game to critical acclaim.
As a songwriter Miller was highly successful. His songs have been covered by the likes of The Eagles, Rod Stewart, The Bellamy Brothers, Kim Carnes, Waylon Jennings, Bob Seger, Bonnie Tyler,Joe Cocker, Ray Charles, Joe Walsh and many other prolific atistes. He is also referenced by the Counting Crows in the title of one of the tracks on their 2002 Hard Candy album.
Miller suffered a massive brain haemorrhage in New York on 25 August 1994, which led to a five-month coma. He has since been in rehabilitation, re-learning how to walk and talk.
2) Texan Frankie Miller had two top ten country hits in 1959: the stark, distinctive "Black Land Farmer" and the more typical honky tonk "Family Man." The former even crossed over slightly, but Miller very quickly faded from the charts.
Is This Love
Frankie Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, though out of sight,
It's lonesome through the day,
But oh! the night.
I cry my heart out, it's bound to break,
Since nothing matters, let it break.
I ask the sun and the moon,
What's to become of it,
This love of mine.
The lyrics to Frankie Miller's "This Love of Mine" express the intense emotional pain that comes from heartbreak. The song is written from the perspective of someone who has lost their lover and is struggling to come to terms with their absence. The opening line of the song, "This love of mine goes on and on," serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of the singer's love. Despite the fact that their lover is no longer in their life, the love the singer feels remains constant.
The second line of the first verse, "Though life is empty since you have gone," reveals the devastating impact of losing someone they love. The singer is consumed by their thoughts of their absent lover, constantly thinking of them even though they are not there. The longing and loneliness of the singer are highlighted in the line, "It's lonesome through the day, but oh! the night." The nights are particularly hard for the singer, as they are left alone with their thoughts and the memories of their lost love.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's pain and their feeling of hopelessness. "I cry my heart out, it's bound to break, since nothing matters, let it break," reflects the idea that the singer is so overwhelmed with grief that they feel they cannot go on. The final two lines of the chorus, "What's to become of it, this love of mine," emphasize the singer's uncertainty about their future. Despite the pain they are experiencing, the singer's love remains strong, but they are left wondering what will happen to it now that their lover is gone.
