«My music is melancholic, sometimes sad but hopeful. I sing about things I don’t want to talk about. I tell stories, I try to turn the dark thoughts or something painful into something beautiful. It can be delicate, soft, sometimes tribal but I try to be always true in what I write.»
Inspired by folk, pop, rock, indie, my music is a mix of it all.
Hey Love
Hugo Barriol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What have we become
This is the hardest thing
I've ever done
Wanted to be your lover
Not the lover who's breaking your heart
Wanted to be your lover
Not the lover who tore you apart
Just your lover
Can we go back now to the start
Hey love
Where do we belong
Don't tell me
This is all gone
Wanted to be your lover
Not the lover who's breaking your heart
Wanted to be your lover
Not the lover who tore you apart
Wanted to be your lover
Just your lover
Can we go back now to the start
Hey love
Where do you belong
Don't hide somewhere
You can't be found
Wanted to be your lover
Not the lover who's breaking your heart
Wanted to be your lover
Not the lover who tore you apart
Wanted to be your lover
Just your lover
Can we go back now to the start
Wanted to be your lover
Not the lover who's breaking your heart
Wanted to be your lover
Just your lover
Can we go back now to the start
The lyrics of Hugo Barriol's song "Hey Love" centers around a relationship and the desire to restore it to its former state. The singer addresses his lover, lamenting the state of their relationship and how it's the "hardest thing" that he's ever done. He expresses that he had wanted to be a lover who brings joy and intimacy to the relationship, rather than the one causing pain and heartbreak. The singer is remorseful, wishing that they could go back to the early stages of their relationship marked with love and happiness.
The chorus is a repetition of his desire to be a lover that brings love, not pain, to the relationship. He pleads to be given a chance to go back to the beginning when love was still blossoming, and they both were happy together. He is remorseful, recognizing what he may have done wrong or the path they have drifted into.
The lyrics of "Hey Love" may resonate with anyone who's been in a relationship and found themselves in a position where they feel they have lost the spark with someone they truly love. It’s a heartfelt plea for a second chance to start things over and make things right. The song's somber melody and emotive vocals underscore the message of regret, longing, and the desire to restore what the relationship once had.
