Company
Patricia Kaas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'll survive another day
Conversations to share
When there's no one there
I'll imagine what you'd say
I'll see you in another life now, baby
I'll free you in my dreams
I will miss your company
Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying
I'm still crying, crying for company
I'm still crying for company
So now you're going off to live your life
You say we'll meet each other now and then
But we'll never, never be the same
And I know I'll never have this chance again
But no, no not like you, not like you
I'll see you in another life now, baby
I'll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company
Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying
I'm still crying, crying for company
Listen to me
I'm still crying for company
Company
I'm looking for company
The song Company by Patricia Kaas is a beautifully melancholic ballad about missing someone deeply and desperately seeking company. It's a song that will resonate with anyone who has ever been separated from a loved one and can relate to the intense feelings of longing and loneliness that can arise in such situations.
The opening lines, "I'll remember you too clearly but I'll survive another day", set the tone for the song, with the singer acknowledging the painful memories she has of the person she misses but also making a vow to carry on. The theme of memory and dreams is continued throughout the song, with Kaas singing that she'll "free" her loved one in her dreams, and that she imagines what they'd say if they were still here.
The chorus is the emotional heart of the song, with Kaas singing "Company, I'll be looking for company, still crying, crying for company". It's a simple, poignant statement of her need for connection and companionship, and it's all the more powerful for its simplicity. The bridge of the song, which features the lines "listen to me, I'm still crying for company", is a plea directly to the person she's missing, a heart-rending moment that really emphasises the depth of the singer's feelings.
Overall, Company is a beautifully crafted song that highlights Patricia Kaas's skill as a songwriter and performer. It's a song that will touch the hearts of anyone who hears it, and it's a testament to the enduring power of love and loss.

I'll remember you too clearly
Even though we're apart, I won't forget about you
But I'll survive another day
I'll find the strength to get through each day without you
Conversations to share
We used to talk and laugh together all the time
When there's no one there
Now that you're gone, I'm left with silence and emptiness
I'll imagine what you'd say
To fill the void, I'll imagine us having conversations like we used to
I'll see you in another life now, baby
I know we'll never be together in this life again
I'll free you in my dreams
But I can still keep you close in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
Even if I could reach through space and time
I will miss your company
I'll still miss having you with me
Company
I'm lonely and in need of companionship
I'll be looking for company
I'll keep searching for someone to fill the void left by your absence
Look and listen
I'm searching for any signs or sounds of comfort
Through the years
Even as time goes on
Someday you may hear me
You might hear me crying out for your companionship
Still crying
I'm still hurting and feeling alone
I'm still crying, crying for company
I'm longing for someone to be with me
So now you're going off to live your life
You're moving on and leaving me behind
You say we'll meet each other now and then
You promise that we'll see each other occasionally
But we'll never, never be the same
But things will never be the same as they were before
And I know I'll never have this chance again
I'm aware that we can't go back and change things
But no, no not like you, not like you
But there's no one else like you in my life
Listen to me
I need someone to hear me and understand how I feel

Un chant étonnamment "haut perché" et inhabituel chez la chanteuse.
Eric Kessel
Elle a peut être voulu rester fidèle à la version originale créée par Rickie Lee Jones...
