On My Mind
Nilsen Kurt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I focus on what's important because of you.
And when you smile to me I can not breathe
And I end up laughing with you
Not knowing what the joke was about
You're on my mind
On my mind
All the time
Have you ever considered not being so friendly to me anymore?
Just let go for a while
When you try to be someone else
I end up laughing with you,
But I know you all to good.
You're on my mind
On my mind
You're on my mind
All the time
You're on my mind
On my mind
You're on my mind
All the time
Tell me stories that I want to hear
Whisper in my ears so words won't ?
You're on my mind
On my mind
You're on my mind
All the time
You're on my mind
On my mind
You're on my mind
All the time

The person being sung to is the main focus of the song, without whom the singer cannot breathe. The chorus repeats the phrase "you're on my mind, all the time" to emphasize the fact that this person is constantly on the singer's mind. The second verse indicates that the singer knows the object of their affection too well, implying a sense of intimacy and familiarity that has been built up between the two individuals.
The last verse demonstrates an intense desire for the object of the singer's affection to open up to them more. They want to hear stories that they are interested in and to be whispered to in their ear. This level of closeness and intimacy ties in with the overall theme and tone of the song.
Overall, "On My Mind" is a song that speaks to the power love can have over someone's thoughts and actions. When one person captures the heart of another, they can become a constant presence in their mind, affecting everything they do.

I have never heard a voice as detailed and smooth as his. He is so incredible!!!!!
SyrDoN
He is my favorite vocalist too. I thank god for youtube. It has a large pile of crap (not their fault), but if you dig through it, you find an artist like this one. He has the uncanny ability to ransack the past for inspiration, yet sound fresh and modern. He is the best of many performers such as garth brooks, bono, Jim Croce and many others, yet this one is not an imitator. I heard on tv last night a quote from the past. A performer gives you what you want. An artist gives you what you didn't realize you wanted. This man is a true artist - the complete package (songwriter, singer and performer). An seems like a stellar guy. What else matters? This man has brought beautiful music to the masses and I congratulate him for it. I find it amazing that we live in a time where this humble man from Florida can have a favorite artist from Norway. Life is beautiful indeed. Never stop Kurt. We love you.
