Somebody To Love
Marc Martel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord, what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work 'til I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray
'Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord, somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) can anybody find me somebody to love?

Everyday (everyday) I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Ah, got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe in
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh, Lord
Ooh somebody, ooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Can anybody find me someone to love)

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK, I'm alright (he's alright, he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love love love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Somebody somebody somebody somebody
Somebody find me
Somebody find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Find me somebody to love)
Ooh
(Find me somebody to love)
Find me somebody,
somebody (find me somebody to love) somebody, somebody to love
Find me, find me, find me, find me, find me
Ooh, somebody to love (Find me somebody to love)
Ooh (find me somebody to love)
Find me, find me, find me somebody to love (find me somebody to love)




Anybody, anywhere, anybody find me somebody to love love love!
Somebody find me, find me love

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Somebody To Love" by Marc Martel express the singer's despair and hopelessness as he wakes up each day. He feels weak in his knees and can barely stand due to the emptiness he feels inside. Looking at himself in the mirror, he cries as he realizes how much the world is getting to him. For years, he has put his faith in someone, perhaps a higher power or a loved one, but feels no relief. In desperation, he pleads to find someone to love, someone who can give him that missing piece.


The next stanza begins with the singer sharing how hard he works every day until his bones ache. As he finishes work and takes his hard-earned payback home, he feels lonely and helpless. He kneels down to pray, tears streaming from his eyes, and once again begs to find that someone who can love him. But instead of finding kindness and understanding, he meets with opposition and criticism from others who even say he's going crazy and lacks common sense. With no one to believe in, he longs to be free from his "prison cell." In his final plea, he implores anyone to find him somebody to love, a person who can help him escape his despair.

...And now 8 years later he did additional vocals for the Freddie Mercury character in the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody".


Pretty cool huh

For the haters! In the words of legendary Queen drummer Roger Taylor as he remarked to the Daily Record about Marc Martel: “That voice. You listen, close your eyes and you think it’s Freddie. It’s really uncanny.” The film’s creators have conceded that the sung vocals in the movie are largely by Mercury and Martel due to Audio Masters of Mercury not being in the greatest conditions and due to NDA, will never disclose any details about who did what. What you see and hear is natural god given talent and a 3 octave + 6 semitone vocal range, pellucid tone and operatic quality. Or you can just check out his Pitch Perfect Killer Queen cover!!

@Carol Hagerty While the majority were studio recordings of Freddie, it was quite a bit more than .01% from Marc ..lol.
