SOS
Pierce Brosnan Meryl Streep (Mama Mia! OST) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
Pierce Brosnan's song "SOS" featuring Meryl Streep is a cover of the popular ABBA song of the same name. The lyrics speak of a lost love and the struggle to move on after they have left. Brosnan's raw and emotional performance, coupled with Streep's harmonies, gives the song a sense of longing and desperation.
The opening lines express a sense of nostalgia for a happier past, a time when the love shared was pure and good. But now, the singer is struggling to understand what went wrong between them. The line "Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood" expresses the confusion and frustration at the loss of the love they once shared. The chorus of "SOS" acts as a plea to save the love that is slipping away, to no avail as the verses continue to reveal that the relationship has soured, and the love that was once so strong is fading.
The repetition of the phrase "When you're gone, how can I even try to go on? Though I try, how can I carry on?" emphasizes the crippling sense of loneliness and desperation that the singer feels in their partner's absence. Overall, the lyrics to "SOS" convey the pain and heartbreak of losing a love that was once so strong.

this movie has taught me that there is an ABBA song for every situation.

@garten527
Ikr, it seems like the songs are based of the movies, usually writing a movie based of songs just makes the storyline messy but ABBA songs are just always perfect 👌
@Musicalboyo
Imagine having a serious argument with someone and then yelling
'SO WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME DARLING CANT YOU HEAR ME SOS?!'
