Is This Love
Jensen & the Flips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in through my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw my heart away
That's why I ask the Lawd up in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill




And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still

Overall Meaning

The song "Is This Love" by Jensen & the Flips describes the singer's journey from a hum-drum existence to a life full of love and then back to heartbreak. The opening lines of the song set the tone for this emotional rollercoaster. The singer describes themselves as a person leading a life apart, meaning that they were simply going through the motions of everyday life without much excitement or passion. However, this all changed when love came into their life. Love "flew in through [their] window wide" and "quickened [their] hum-drum heart." The imagery of love entering through a window is a whimsical and romantic touch, emphasizing the suddenness and unexpectedness of falling in love. This newfound passion made the singer very happy.


However, this joy was short-lived. "After love had stayed a little while / Love flew out again." Here, the singer describes the abrupt end of their relationship. The person who they thought was the love of their life left as quickly as they came, leaving the singer feeling heartbroken and confused. This leads to the chorus, where the singer asks the age-old question, "What is this thing called love? / This funny thing called love? / Just who can solve its mystery? / Why should it make a fool of me?" These lines encapsulate the universal experience of trying to understand love and its many twists and turns.


The second verse of the song describes the wonderful days and nights that the singer shared with their significant other. The other person made the singer's life feel like an enchanted dream, filled with sunshine and cheer. However, things took a turn when somebody else entered the picture. The singer felt the "winter's chill" when this happened, and though they know they should move on, they still wonder why they love this person who has hurt them so much.


Overall, "Is This Love" is a poignant and relatable song that beautifully captures the joys and pains of love. The lyrics are simple yet profound, and the melody is catchy and easy to sing along to.

And now I constantly think about why I still love you


Why I love you still
Why I still have feelings for you despite the pain you caused me

2016, 2016 noon ni recommend sakin to noon isa sa paborito ko tao sa buo mundo. Everytime na pinakikingan ko ito bumabalik talaga sakin yung feelings ko towards that girl. That girl I always wanted, that girl I always want to chose that girl I always want to love.

This song reminds me if this feelings of regret, dahil hindi na pagbigyan yung love na sobra deserve niya, yung love na gusto gusto niya matangap at yun yung love na handang handa ko ibigay.

This song never failed para ipaalala sakin kung gaano ko ginusto yung tao yun kung gaano ako natuto mag mahal more than I should love my self. This song also made e know myself even better at Hindi ko na ma imagine na may kanta pa lalabas na magpaparamdam ng ganito sakin. That love that got a way.

For who ever feeling the kind of love who would give everything, the heart, soul, fight for it! Wag kayo tutulad sa mga someone like me who just let it fail. Who just let it go. Just fight for it wag bibitwan. Hangang sa mapag tagumpayan.

And to my favorite person who I fell in love with. I still love you, and will always love you no matter what. Thank you for giving me this track. Even if hindi nabigyan ng chance. I always want to keep this love inside my heart because I know this kind of love is the best love that one person must ever feel.

Jensen and The Flips thank you! Until the next flippin โค๏ธ
