Higher Love
James Vincent McMorrow (C-ro Edit) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down in the heart and in the stars above,
Without it, life is wasted time.
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what's fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love,
Bring me a higher love
Where's this higher love, I've been thinking of?
Worlds are turning, we're just hanging on
Facing our fear, standing out there alone
Oh a yearning, and it's real for me
There must be someone who's feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what's fair?
We walk blind, we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love,
Bring me a higher love
Where's this higher love, I've been thinking of?
I will wait for it, I'm not too late for it
Until then, I'll sing my song
To cheer the night along
I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel the love come over me
Let me feel how strong it can be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love,
Bring me a higher love
I could rise above for this higher love.
The song "Higher Love" by James Vincent McMorrow is all about the yearning for a deeper, more meaningful love. The lyrics suggest that this love exists not only in our own hearts, but also in the stars above, and that without it, life is wasted time. The singer implores the listener to look inside their own heart, while he does the same, to find this higher love.
Along with this message of love, the song seems to also convey a sense of disappointment with the state of the world. The lyrics describe a world where things look bad everywhere, where unfairness prevails, and where people are falling behind in what could be. Despite this, the singer maintains hope that this higher love can be found, and that it will be worth the wait.
Ultimately, the song encourages listeners to keep searching for this higher love, to sing their songs to cheer the night along, and to believe in the strength and power of love. It is a reminder that although the world may be tough and unfair, love is still out there waiting for us if we only have the courage and patience to find it.

I love how vulnerable and fragile his falsetto sounds. With the beautiful simple piano, it really captures love; fragile, vulnerable, but beautiful.
@HigherLove70
I completely agree. You really have your finger on the pulse.
