Our Song
Kate Miller-Heidke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes when the sky is clear blue
Sometimes I can hear you singing to me

But lately part of me just crumbles
Every time I hear that melody

Our song
It doesn't matter
If your heart's new broken
If we haven't spoken in a year
You'll be walking somewhere very far away
Where the sky is full gray
And you will hear

Our song

And for a moment you can hold it
And the colors all come back
like the smell of spring on a shifting wind





Our song

Overall Meaning

Kate Miller-Heidke's "Our Song" appears to be a song about the lasting emotional resonance of shared experiences and memories. The opening lines suggest that the singer still feels a sense of connection to a person who is no longer physically present, as they can occasionally hear that person singing to them even when the sky is clear blue. However, the following lines suggest that this connection is not always comforting; part of the singer crumbles every time they hear that particular melody. This may suggest that the connection to the absent person is painful in some way, possibly because it reminds the singer of a relationship that has ended or a person they have lost.


The chorus, however, seems to provide a more positive spin on the idea of a shared song. The lyrics suggest that "our song" has the power to bridge distance and time, so that even if the singer and the absent person are physically distant or emotionally estranged, they can still be united by the song. The last lines of the chorus suggest that "our song" can evoke strong sensory memories, bringing back the colors and smells of a different time.

However, of late, a part of me collapses or falls apart


Every time I hear that melody
Each time I listen to that tune

The song that belongs to both of us


It doesn't matter
It makes no difference

You might be walking somewhere very far away

Similar to the scent of spring on a wind that fluctuates


Our song
The song that belongs to both of us
