Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
In a gadda da vida, baby
Don't you know that I'll always be true
Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand
Oh, won't you come with me
Please take my hand
In a gadda da vida, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
In a gadda da vida, baby
Don't you know that I'll always be true
Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand
Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land
Please take my hand
The lyrics to K.R. UFO's "Garden" contain a slightly altered variation of the lyrics from Iron Butterfly's iconic song "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," which is known for its distinctive drumbeat and psychedelic sound. The song is a declaration of love and loyalty, with the singer imploring a lover to come with him and take his hand, promising to always love and be true to them.
The phrase "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" itself is a mispronunciation of "In the Garden of Eden," which was reportedly the original intended title of the song before vocalist Doug Ingle slurred the words during a recording session. Despite the unclear lyrics, the song became a hit in 1968 and has since become a classic rock staple.
K.R. UFO's use of the lyrics in "Garden" may suggest a desire to emulate the free spirit and experimentation of the 1960s counterculture, or perhaps to pay homage to the band and the era. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's urgency and longing, and the dreamy quality of the music adds to the song's nostalgic and romantic vibe.
Overall, "Garden" is a simple yet effective manifestation of the timeless theme of love and devotion, with a throwback nod to one of rock's most memorable anthems.
