Song For A Sailor
Hundred Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love
The lyrics to "Song For A Sailor" are actually a rendition of the classic jazz standard "I'm in the Mood for Love" which has been covered countless times over the years. This particular version by Hundred adds a slightly dreamy and melancholic touch to the original track. The song speaks of a person feeling elated and romantic simply because of their lover's presence. The lyrics "Heaven is in your eyes, bright as the stars we're under" paint a picture of the singer's situation, where they are with their significant other, gazing up at the stars and feeling a sense of overwhelming awe.
The track is essentially themed around the idea of love and also touches upon the idea of taking chances and living in the moment. "Why stop to think of whether this little dream might fade? We’ve put our hearts together, now we are one, I'm not afraid!" The singer here is telling their partner not to worry about the future and to simply enjoy the present moment with them. The overall sentiment of the song is one of pure, unbridled love and a celebration of it through music.
