The Thrill Is Gone
Henderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thrill is gone!
I can see it in your eyes,
I can hear it in your sighs,
Feel your touch and realize
The thrill is gone.
The nights are cold,
For love is old.
Birds were singing, skies were blue.
Now it don't appeal to you,
The thrill is gone.
This is the end, so why pretend
And let it linger on.
The thrill is gone!
The song "The Thrill Is Gone" by Henderson is a classic blues song that is all about a love that has lost its spark. The song is deeply emotional and raw, with the singer lamenting the fact that the relationship has lost its magic. The singer can tell that things are not the way they used to be because he can see it in his lover's eyes and hear it in her sighs. He realizes that the thrill is gone when he is no longer affected by her touch.
The song tells the story of an old love that has lost its luster. The nights are cold because the love between them is old, and it no longer feels like it used to. The singer remembers when love was new and everything was grand. Birds were singing, skies were blue. But now, it doesn't appeal to his lover anymore. The thrill is gone, and there is no pretending that it is still there. The singer concludes that this is the end, and it is time to move on.

I worked with her in '93 for a month at Michael's pub. She sang this EVERY night---rubato, with me strumming and Morris Edwards bowing. And not even once did she not give me chills. On this recording dig how she starts the bridge practically crying, then comes all the way down on '...let it end...'. One of a kind, and a real lady too...
Roger Steinbrink
Yeah, Buddy...
Such an elegant Lady.
I was her gopher for a weekend when she played The Shim Sham Club with The Senator, in Nola back in 1999.
They told amazing stories about "The Days."
Such a beautiful singer, and lady.
