Brooklyn (Let 'Em In Studios), draws its influences as much from American indie folk-rock as it does from the swaggering oom-pah and contemplative crooner vocals of 1960s Paris.
"Secret Life" muses about love and loss, supported by a variety of textures and instruments, from lush strings to a single street organ, recorded for the album by Higbee in a small church in France. The custom street organ cardboard music sheet took several weeks to make, by hand. It was adapted for his street organ by Jean Bernard Michau, one of Frances 300 or so street organists.
Love of My Life
Mike Higbee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
The love of my life
The love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
The love of my life
The love of my life
Every time I go
I see you look around and blow
Blow your money on these foolish things
Don't look around
You might see everything
But you take care of me
Underground
A war is going on
And I'm going blind
I just never think to be alarmed
And without doubt
I go on going on
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
The love of my life
The love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
The love of my life
The love of my life
And now you disappear
For days
What happened to the love
What happened to your face
I present to you exhibit A
A pretty girl
She's chasing unicorns
A do you think of her
In your daze
It's painted all around
It's painted on your face
And did she think that she would see the world
You're blue from guilt
You're blue from Joni's hurt
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
The love of my life
The love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
The love of my life
The love of my life
Yeah how many times
You looked at me
You looked me in the eye said I'm sorry baby
Well I just can't do this
Anymore
And I know it's not your fault
We've been through this before
And I told you many times
We could be happy
That there was no other place
I would rather be than with you
But now I'm done I am done I can't do this anymore
Such is life live your life I can't take it anymore
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
The love of my life
The love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
The love of my life
The love of my life
You'll make a beautiful wife
Go have a beautiful life
You are the love of my life
Love of my life
The love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
Love life
Love of my life
Love life
Love of my life
Love life
Love of my life
Life life life
The lyrics of Mike Higbee's "Love of My Life" express the unwavering love of the singer towards his significant other despite facing challenges in their relationship. The repetition of the phrase "you are the love of my life" emphasizes the depth and intensity of his love for his partner. The third and fourth stanzas, however, reveal the struggles that the couple is going through. The singer laments his partner's spending on frivolous things and her sudden disappearance, possibly for days. He also suspects her of being unfaithful, which causes him to feel guilty and hurt. Despite all of these, the singer remains committed to their relationship and even wishes for her to have a beautiful life.
The song conveys a bittersweet feeling. On the one hand, it expresses the passion and devotion that the singer feels towards his significant other, but on the other hand, it reveals the challenges and doubts that come with relationships. The lyrics portray the complexity of love, where it brings both joy and pain.

Underground
Below the surface
A war is going on
Conflict is happening
And I'm going blind
I am ignorant to this ongoing issue
I just never think to be alarmed
I never consider the severity
And without doubt
And without question
I go on going on
I continue as before
And now you disappear
Now you've vanished
For days
For an extended period
What happened to the love
What became of our affection
What happened to your face
What caused this change in you
I present to you exhibit A
I give you proof
A pretty girl
A beautiful woman
She's chasing unicorns
She's seeking the unattainable
A do you think of her
Do you consider her
In your daze
In your state of confusion
It's painted all around
It's obvious to all
It's painted on your face
It's evident in your expression
And did she think that she would see the world
Did she believe she would experience everything
You're blue from guilt
You feel remorseful
You're blue from Joni's hurt
You're sad because of Joni's pain
Yeah how many times
How often
You looked at me
You gazed at me
You looked me in the eye said I'm sorry baby
You apologized directly to me
Well I just can't do this
I cannot continue with this
Anymore
Any longer
And I know it's not your fault
I understand it's not your doing
We've been through this before
We've experienced this previously
And I told you many times
I've informed you repeatedly
We could be happy
We have the potential to be content
That there was no other place
That I want to be with you above all else
I would rather be than with you
I prefer to be with you above anything else
But now I'm done I am done I can't do this anymore
But now I'm finished, I cannot continue any further
Such is life live your life I can't take it anymore
That's life, you live yours, I cannot endure it any longer
You'll make a beautiful wife
You'll be a lovely spouse
Go have a beautiful life
Live a beautiful life
Love of my life
My true love
The love of my life
The one I love most
Love life
Love and live life
Love of my life
The one I love most
Love life
Love and live life
Love of my life
My true love
Life life life
Live life to the fullest
