Winter
Nuspirit Helsinki/Bebel Gilberto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel the snow
On my eyes
It touches me
Deep inside

And now I'm here
So high
A cloud
Up in the sky

And this has got me thinking
It's all because of you
My heart is dark
And my mouth so dry
Where were you
All this time?

My love is yours
You know
Every song I sing
Belongs to you
And as days like these
Come and go
I still remember
It's true

And this has got me thinking
It's all because of you
The night is dark and the moon so high
Where were you
All this time?

And as days like these
Pass me by
Through clouds or skies of blue
Then upon this heartbeat
I could fly




Just to sing this song for you
For you...

Overall Meaning

In Winter, Nuspirit Helsinki and Bebel Gilberto create a dreamy soundscape that is both soothing and melancholic. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and contemplation, with the singer reflecting on the past and the present while yearning for her lover. The opening lines, "I feel the snow on my eyes, it touches me deep inside" suggests a feeling of vulnerability and exposure, as if the coldness of the snow is penetrating her soul. She then describes feeling "so high" like a cloud up in the sky, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for being in a state of love and transcendence.


The chorus is where the theme of love becomes more apparent: "My love is yours, you know, every song I sing belongs to you." The singer addresses her lover directly, expressing that all her creative output is dedicated to him. She also acknowledges the passing of time, singing "as days like these come and go, I still remember it's true," indicating that her love for him remains constant even as seasons change.


The song reaches its emotional peak in the final verse, where the singer imagines herself flying on a heartbeat just to sing this song for her lover. The repetition of the phrase "for you" adds a sense of urgency and intensity, as if her love is so strong that she needs to express it through her art. Overall, Winter is a beautifully crafted song that captures the complexity and intensity of love.

This is one of the very rare occurrences in which a remix surpasses the original by far. Pure magic! (However, the audio in the video file is slightly distorted - check the Bebel Gilberto Remixed album for the real wonder.)
