Love You Forever
Neil Young & The Ducks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do your senses tingle?
Then take a chance?
In a trance
While the lonely mingle
With circumstance?
I've got something to tell you
Let me come over
I know you know
When you dance, ooh
I can really love
I can love
I can really love
I can really love
I can love
I can really love
I can really love
Like a mountain that's growing
A river that rolls
Let me come over
I know you know
When you dance, ooh
I can really love
When you dance
Do your senses tingle?
Then take a chance?
In a trance
While the lonely mingle
With circumstance?
I've got something to tell you
You made it show
Let me come over
I know you know
When you dance, ooh
I can really love
In this classic Neil Young song, "When You Dance You Can Really Love", the lyrics capture the magic and power of dance in a relationship. The first verse asks the listener if their senses tingle when they dance, essentially asking if they feel a deep connection to the songs they dance to. The next few lines encourage the listener to take a chance and get lost in the music. The second verse expresses the singer's desire to be with the person they are addressing - they say, "let me come over, I know you know." This desire is intensified by the realization that their connection to the listener is stronger when they dance together. The chorus repeats the message that the singer can love deeply when they dance with the person they address.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the strength and intensity of the relationship through natural imagery. Young compares the love he feels when he dances with the person he desires to a growing mountain and a flowing river. The song concludes by repeating the same chorus and verses, with the final message that the singer's ability to truly love is amplified by the joy of dancing with their loved one.
Overall, "When You Dance You Can Really Love" is a timeless exploration of how dance can deepen romantic relationships, providing a powerful way to communicate feelings that cannot be expressed through words alone.
