Our Song
Kate Miller-Heidke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I can hear you singing to me
But lately part of me just crumbles
Every time I hear that melody
Our song
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
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.

Sometimes when the sky is clear blue
Occasionally, when the sky is a clear shade of blue
Sometimes I can hear you singing to me
At times, I am able to hear you singing to me
But lately part of me just crumbles
However, of late, a part of me collapses or falls apart
Every time I hear that melody
Each time I listen to that tune
Our song
The song that belongs to both of us
It doesn't matter
It makes no difference
If your heart's new broken
Even if you have just had your heart broken
If we haven't spoken in a year
Regardless of whether or not we have talked in a year
You'll be walking somewhere very far away
You might be walking somewhere very far away
Where the sky is full gray
Where the sky is a dull or gloomy gray color
And you will hear
And you will perceive
Our song
The song that belongs to both of us
And for a moment you can hold it
For a brief period, you can grasp it or have it
And the colors all come back
And all the colors come to life again
like the smell of spring on a shifting wind
Similar to the scent of spring on a wind that fluctuates
Our song
The song that belongs to both of us
