I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Giorgia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About your plans to make me blue
With some other girl you knew before
Between the two of us girls you know I loved you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that I've heard it through the grapevine
Don't you know I've heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
(Through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine baby)
Baby
I know that a girl is supposed to cry
And these tears I cannot hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you loved some one else
Instead I've heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I've heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
(Through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine baby)
(I heard it) I heard it
(I heard it) I heard it
(I heard it, I heard it)
People say believe half of what you see
Son and none of what you hear
I can't help being confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you loved before?
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Don't you know I've heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to love my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
(Through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby)
Baby, baby, baby
Through the grapevine (through the grapevine)
(Through the grapevine) through the grapevine
(Through the grapevine) I've heard it through the grapevine
(I heard it) I've heard it
(Heard it, heard it, ehi)
The lyrics of Giorgia's song I Heard It Through The Grapevine tell a story of betrayal and heartbreak. The singer heard about her lover's plans to leave her for someone else through gossip, rather than from him directly. She is hurt and confused, as she thought that she was the one he loved more. The singer's emotions are raw and powerful, as she contemplates losing the most valuable thing in her life. The repetition of the phrase "I heard it through the grapevine" emphasizes the idea that the news did not come from the source, but rather through hearsay.
The song's lyrics are relatable, as most people have experienced gossip and false information about their relationships. The phrase "believing half of what you see and none of what you hear" highlights this type of situation. The song's melody and rhythm are catchy and upbeat, in contrast to the sad lyrics, making it a classic soul hit.
To summarize, Giorgia's song I Heard It Through The Grapevine deals with the theme of betrayal, with the singer learning about her lover's infidelity from others. The lyrics are emotional, and the melody is catchy, making it a hit in the soul music world.

Grandissimissima!!!!! Non riesco a togliermela dalla testa questa canzone!
@leparolenondette
I'm glad u had the opportunity to listen to her wonderful voice. She's been singing since 1994and is one of the most famous Italian female singers. Anastacia,Hancock,Elton John defined her as one of the greatest singers in the world. Because of personal reasons she refused to collaborate with great artists: e.g. a few years ago she refused to duet with Bublé ("Quando quando quando"). Then Michael decided to sing that song with Nelly Furtado.
