Miles John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Music was my first love
And it will be my last.
Music of the future
And music of the past.

To live without my music
Would be impossible to do.
In this world of troubles,
My music pulls me through.

Music was my first love
And it will be last.
Music of the future
And music of the past
And music of the past
And music of the past.

Music was my first love
And it will be my last.
Music of the future
And music of the past.

To live without my music
Would be impossible to do.




In this world of troubles,
My music pulls me through.

Thank you so much - John Miles - for your message, 
Here I am sitting as a middle aged man - looking back to the past and being aware of its presence and so much aware of the future;

I heard this song when I was 10.
So much true.

Music was my first love and it will be my last. 
Music of the future - music of the past.
To live without my music seems impossible to do..

In this world of trouble your music has put me through.

So true,

This piece contains a message from anyone's soul - let it be heard over generations.

I hope through this music will be forwarded forward to eternity.
even after I am gone.

Fellow musicians, take it as a reminder.
Love music, not your skill at it. It's not about proclaiming your own greatness, you're a servant to a greater cause.
