Love Song
Lesley Duncan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
there's nothing more that we can do

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No-one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen

You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn




Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Here from the movie “men”. A CAPTIVATING and stunning piece of art. This song just reminds me of walking through an enchanted forest during a rainy and cloudy afternoon, trying to escape your troubles. This song MADE the movie, a scene-stealer.

As a long time Lesley and Elton John fan, the minute I heard this song in the trailer I knew it was an instant watch when it came out. It was a solid film but like you said this song carried it to something beyond that.

@skyfryer1223

there's nothing better than when a film can use a song's vibe to juxtapose what we're experiencing. The song just turns into a haunting melody when you reflect on the entity that pursues her.
