When I'm With You
Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoo

I can't define it
But something that you can do
Has got me blinded
To anyone but you,
The freshest feeling I ever knew.
Whenever you come around
I hear pop-songs filling the air (I just called)
It's a magical place I found
And I know you're takin' me there.

'Cause when I'm with you
Love is easy,
When I'm with you
I can hear Stevie
Singing to me like a sweet symphony of the heart now (this one's for you)
And this one's for you.

You won me over
When I had nothing to lose,
I'm gettin' closer,
I'm finally gettin' through,
A celebration,
The wildest feeling I ever knew, ooh.

Whenever you come around
I hear pop-songs filling the air (it's very superstitious)
It's a magical place I found
And I know you're takin' me there.

'Cause when I'm with you
Love is easy,
When I'm with you
I can hear Stevie
Singing to me like a sweet symphony of the heart now (this one's for you).

'Cause when I'm with you
Love is easy,
When I'm with you
I can hear Stevie
Singing to me like a sweet symphony of the heart now (this one's for you)
And this one's for you.

Never knew I could feel this way, (my baby)
This one goes out to my baby,
I never knew I could feel so fine, (hoo hoo hoo)
This one goes out to a love of mine.

Hoo

When I'm with you
Love is easy,
When I'm with you
I can hear Stevie
Singing to me like a sweet symphony of the heart now (this one's for you)
I sing it to you,
(Love is easy)
And my life with you,
(I can hear Stevie)




Singing to me like a sweet symphony of the heart now (this one's for you)
And this one's for you

Overall Meaning

In "When I'm With You," Martin expresses the euphoria he feels when he's with his significant other. He admits that he doesn't understand what it is about his partner that makes him feel so drawn to them, but the experience is akin to a very magical one. However, the true nuance of the song comes from the references to Stevie Wonder's music, which are peppered throughout the lyrics.


Martin constantly invokes Stevie Wonder, a classic R&B icon, throughout the song. Stevie's music appears to be a big influence on Martin; he describes the feeling of being with his lover as a "sweet symphony of the heart," and Stevie's voice becomes the muse that sings to Martin about his love. Even the music choices Martin enjoys when he's with his lover are inspired by Stevie - he talks about hearing "pop-songs" blending with the air and the sensation being "very superstitious" (a direct reference to a Stevie Wonder song).


The lyrics are a picture of love, describing the feelings of joy and ease that come with being around the right person. With his references to Stevie Wonder, Martin adds layers of richness that pay homage to traditional R&B songs and speak to the soulful, uplifting nature of love. The rhythm is upbeat, celebratory, and catchy, which amplifies the fun and uplifting nature of the lyrics.

At 1:52, it's a famous song from Pays Basque in south west of France !
The song is called "Hegoak"
You can hear them sing just a little part
"Neuria izango zen
Ez zuen alde egingo

Bainan horrela
Ez zen gehiago txoria izango"

But the song is really good and deserve to be listened and known !

I come back to the places where we found us
Where somewhere in the place between love and lust

And I could go anywhere, anywhere is home
Yeah I could go anywhere, never feel alone
I come back to the places where we found us, yeah

When I'm not with you, I'm not me
Nothing ever feels good
When I'm not with you
I'm not in control of what I do, it's not me
When I'm not with you, I'm not me
Nothing ever feels good
When I'm not with you
I'm not in control of what I do, it's not me
When I'm not with you

When I'm not with you, it's not me
When I'm not with you

I come back to the places where we found us
I come back, I come back

I'm not me, I'm not me, no
Nothing ever feels good
When I'm not with you
I'm not in control of what I do, it's not me
When I'm not with you, I'm not me
Nothing ever feels good
When I'm not with you
I'm not in control of what I do, it's not me, no no no
When I'm not with you

When I'm not with you, it's not me
When I'm not with you

When I'm not with, I'm not me
Nothing ever feels good
When I'm not with you
I'm not in control of what I do
(I'm not in control of what I do)

When I'm not with you, it's not me
When I'm not with you

@paulelstak85

- The best? You don't know all his discography or you're very young. "Something better", for example, is much better.

@antiradikal4933
