Raised by her father in the small town of Roberta, Georgia, Meiko first stepped in front of an audience at the age of eight, singing “White Christmas” for parishioners of a Southern Baptist church. At eighteen, Meiko left her hometown to showcase her talents to a wider audience. After a brief stop in Miami, she set down in Los Angeles and began her career in earnest, playing venues all over Southern California and writing at a prolific pace. She performed (and bartended) at Hollywood's Hotel Café (where she still performs regularly).
Meiko is one-quarter Japanese, on her maternal grandmother's side; in an attempt to get in touch with their Japanese heritage, she and her sister, designer Kelly Nishimoto, adopted the nicknames Meiko and Keiko.
I'm In Love
Meiko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found a feeling
I thought I lost
A long time ago
Today
He's got me reeling
From the meeting
La la la la, lala la la la, lala la la la, lala la
La la la la, lala la la la, lala la la la, lala la
Today
He said he loved me
And I know I love him
Just the same
Today
Feeling good is easy
I never thought I could be
This way again
La la la la, lala la la la, lala la la la, lala la
My heart keeps singing…
La la la la, lala la la la, lala la la la, lala la
When he's around
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Today
I found a feeling
I thought I lost
A long time ago
Today
He's got me reeling
From the meeting
Of our souls
La la la la, lala la la la, lala la la la, lala la
La la la la, lala la la la, lala la la la, lala la
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

Today
The beginning of a new experience
I found a feeling
Recaptured a feeling I thought was lost
I thought I lost
Thought that the feeling was permanently gone
A long time ago
Feels like it has been a long time since this emotion was last felt
He's got me reeling
Feeling overwhelmed and giddy from being around him
From the meeting
From the moment we met
Of our souls
We had an instant soul connection
Today
Continuing to describe the present moment when this feeling is being experienced
He said he loved me
He expressed the same emotions towards me
And I know I love him
I know that I share the same feelings
Just the same
Our feelings are mutual
Feeling good is easy
The joy from experiencing love makes everything else seem easy
I never thought I could be
I never thought that I would experience happiness again
This way again
This same positive emotion that I thought was gone forever
My heart keeps singing...
I feel happy and content, and my heart can't help but express it through song
When he's around
The presence of him amplifies the positive emotions that I am feeling
I'm in love
A simple expression of the strong feelings that are being felt
I'm in love
Repeating the expression to emphasize the depth and intensity of the feeling
I'm in love
Continued emphasis on the intense emotions being experienced
I'm in love
Final expression to emphasize that the feeling is strong and present
