P.J. Proby did demos for Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and other artists. His greatest hits are "Somewhere", "Maria", "Hold Me", "Niki Hoeky" and "I Apologise". In 1996, Marc Almond produced the album Legend which included the duet single "Yesterday Has Gone".
Secret love
P.J. Proby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore
The song Secret Love by P.J. Proby tells the story of a secret love that the singer keeps within his heart. The love is kept hidden for some time until it becomes too hard to conceal. It becomes overwhelming that the singer has to tell someone about it. He tells a "friendly star" about his love and how he feels about it. He then goes on to reveal the reason why he is so much in love with his secret flame. After revealing his love to the star, he feels the need to express it out loud.
He feels like a weight has been lifted from his shoulders by expressing his love, and therefore he decides to shout it to the highest hills. He even told the golden daffodils because of how thrilled he is to finally let his love be known. The song finally ends by stating that his secret love is no secret anymore, that his heart has an "open door."
Line by Line Meaning
Once I had a secret love
There was one point in my life where I had a love that I kept hidden
That lived within the heart of me
My love was so deep that it was hidden within my heart
All too soon my secret love
As time went by, my love didn't want to remain hidden any longer
Became impatient to be free
My love was so strong that it was eager to come out into the open
So I told a friendly star
I confided in a star because sometimes it's easier to share secrets with something that can't tell anyone else
The way that dreamers often do
Dreamers tend to be the ones who share their deepest, most hidden desires and secrets
Just how wonderful you are
I shared with the star how amazing the person I loved was
And why I am so in love with you
I explained to the star why I had such strong feelings for that person
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Now that my love isn't a secret anymore, I am shouting it from the rooftops, for everyone to hear
Even told the golden daffodils
I even shared my love with nature, telling the flowers how I feel
At last my heart's an open door
Finally, my heart is no longer closed off and guarded, but is open and exposed
And my secret love's no secret anymore
My love is out in the open now, so it's not even a secret anymore
