Is it love
Jon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it love that I think I'm after?
Is the moment so expressive in my heart
To believe I could be with you?
Treasure this, treasure this
Is it everything you hoped it would be?
In your soul, in a job, at the firelight
Could be life in a heart of stone
Is this love that I think I'm feeling?
Hold me in your arms, lie by my side
Let me be inside of you
Let me go, let me fly, let me love you
Let me go, let me fly, let me love you
Somehow I must believe, you need me too
You dream me too summer love
'Cause I will be unchained
When true love surrounds me
I will be unchained
When true love I see in your eyes
Yes, I will be unchained
When true love I see in your eyes
Tell me I'm a fool, I would know how to believe it (eyes)
All the words you say enfold me, touch me, but
Somehow there's more to being this love
It's a game of give and take
Call it love, (give and take)
Call it love, (give and take)
Is it love that I think I'm after?
It's the world that inspires my every move
A world so much to do with you
Tell me now, I'm alive
So alive that I need to show it
Gather round me, come to me, the firelight
Come to me, wait by my side
I will be unchained
When true love surrounds me
I will be unchained
When true love I see in your eyes
The song "Is It Love" by Jon & Vangelis talks about the uncertainty and questioning that arises when one is falling in love. It begins with the questions "Is It Love, Is It Love, Is it Love that I think I'm after?" which is then followed by doubts such as "Could be life in a heart of stone" and "Tell me I'm a fool, I would know how to believe it." Despite the doubts, the singer expresses the desire to be with his love interest, stating "Hold me in your arms, lie by my side / Let me be inside of you." The lyrics also seem to suggest the idea that love is not just a feeling but also a game of give and take, as the singer sings "It's a game of give and take / Call it love, (give and take)"
The chorus, "I will be unchained / When true love surrounds me / I will be unchained / When true love I see in your eyes" expresses the idea that only true love can set one free and bring a sense of release and liberation. This idea is further emphasized in the final verse where the singer asks to be surrounded by love and states "So alive that I need to show it / Gather round me, come to me, the firelight / Come to me, wait by my side."
Overall, "Is It Love" is a contemplative song that explores the emotions and doubts that are associated with falling in love while expressing the desire for true and liberating love.

I'm no more than a keen collector with a love of old music. 45 years of collecting is stuffed around the flat, plus a big pile of reference and biog books. Linking my deck to the PC always gives a good sound. Glad you like them. Many more clips lined up to share!
