We Love the Blues
Kenny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before there was a single brick in this wall
That keeps the distance here between us
We built ourselves a life and we forgot
We already had it all
When we made love, we made love
Baby, we had something
When we made love
Through the lonely that divides us
I can feel you're reaching from the other side
Let's tear down this wall and start all over
And we'll get back to the simple life
[Chorus: ]
Just pass the doubts beyond the hurt
We're not too far from where we were
[Chorus: ]
The lyrics to Kenny Wayne Shepherd's song We Love the Blues describe a relationship that has lost touch with the simple joys of life. The couple had built a life together but somewhere along the way, they lost sight of what was essential. They had love and everything that came along with it, but it wasn't enough. There was a distance that had been created which kept them apart, but the singer can feel their significant other reaching out from the other side of that wall. The singer wants to tear down that wall and go back to living a simple life, to the love they had that nothing else could touch.
The chorus in the song is repetitive and full of hope. It is a reminder to the couple that they are not too far from where they were before they built up that wall between them. It is a call to pass beyond the doubts and the hurt that they may have inflicted on each other, and return to the love that they once shared.
Overall, the lyrics paint a wistful and sentimental picture of a couple that has grown apart but still yearns to return to the simplicity of their love. The themes of love, loss, and redemption are present throughout the song, and the simple structure of the lyrics makes it easy for listeners to relate to and find comfort in.
Line by Line Meaning
We were all we ever wanted
We were content with just each other and didn't need anything or anyone else
Before there was a single brick in this wall
Before any barriers or distance existed between us
That keeps the distance here between us
The physical or emotional distance that separates us now
We built ourselves a life and we forgot
We got carried away with creating a life for ourselves and forgot about the simple things that made our relationship special
We already had it all
We had everything we needed in each other, but we lost sight of that
When we made love, we made love
Our physical intimacy was special and unique to us
Baby, we had something
Our relationship was special and had a deeper connection than just superficial attraction
That nothing else could touch
Our connection was unique and couldn't be replicated by anything or anyone else
Through the lonely that divides us
Despite the distance and loneliness between us
I can feel you're reaching from the other side
I know that you still care and are trying to connect with me despite the distance
Let's tear down this wall and start all over
Let's break down the barriers that separate us and try to start fresh
And we'll get back to the simple life
We'll focus on the important things in our relationship again and try to simplify our lives together
Just pass the doubts beyond the hurt
Let's ignore our doubts and past hurts and try to move past them
We're not too far from where we were
Our relationship isn't irreparably damaged and we can still get back to where we were before
