Always
Rhodes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That love is somewhere
Livin on an island all alone
I can see it in the darkness
I can feel it in the distance
And then its gone
And then I know that it is time
For me to go and find my favorite girl
All the love there is in all the world
And it always will be
And it always will be
And it always will be
It always will be
There are some things I think about
And every time I do it breaks my heart
And there is nothing I can do
About this lonliness I feel when we're apart
I stop and curse the darkness and the distance
And then your face I see
And when I look into your eyes I see
All the love there is inside of me
And it always will be
And it always will be
And it always will be
It always will be
And it always will be
And it always will be
And it always will be
It always will be
The lyrics of Rhodes's song "Always" are about the search for love and the realization that one has found it. The singer muses that love seems to exist somewhere out of reach, as if it were living on an island all alone. He can sense it in the darkness, but it's always just out of reach. However, when he finds his "favorite girl" and looks into her eyes, he sees all the love there is in the world. This love is eternal and will always be present, no matter what happens. The singer acknowledges that there are times he feels lonely and distant, but when he sees his loved one's face, he is reminded that the love he feels will always endure.
Throughout the song, Rhodes creates a sense of longing for a love that seems just out of reach. The imagery of love living on an island is a metaphor for the difficulty of finding love and the sense that it exists in a separate world. The singer's sense of loneliness and separation is palpable, making his eventual reunion with his loved one all the more poignant.
Overall, Rhodes's song "Always" is a reflection on the search for love and the power of that love to endure through distance and time. It's a message of hope and perseverance in the midst of difficulty and struggle, resonating with anyone who has ever searched for love.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes I think
Occasionally, I contemplate
That love is somewhere
Love exists, but I don't know where
Livin on an island all alone
Love is isolated and solitary
I can see it in the darkness
I sense its presence even in the absence of light
I can feel it in the distance
I sense its closeness despite the miles between us
And then its gone
But it disappears quickly
And then I know that it is time
I understand that I must take action
For me to go and find my favorite girl
I must search for my beloved
Cause when I look into her eyes I see
Because I experience love when I gaze into her eyes
All the love there is in all the world
She contains all of the love that exists in the entire world
And it always will be
This feeling of love will never diminish
And there is nothing I can do
I am powerless
About this lonliness I feel when we're apart
I can't prevent the despair I experience when we're separated
I stop and curse the darkness and the distance
I become frustrated by the lack of light and the physical separation
And then your face I see
But then I envision your countenance
And when I look into your eyes I see
When I meet your gaze
All the love there is inside of me
I discover that I possess a great deal of love myself
And it always will be
This love inside me will persist
It always will be
It will never wane
It always will be
This emotion will endure
It always will be
It's everlasting
And it always will be
This love will continue to exist
And it always will be
It won't disappear
It always will be
It's perpetual
It always will be
It's eternal

Always
Alone, tired lungs
Breathe too much
Sinking down, I fear too much
Care for what might come
Are we still young?
And might learn, I fear someone.
It's not that I don't feel it, I do
My simple eye closes on you
So why are you loud, is it always?
Will you follow me closely behind?
So, you lonely one
My cradle one
I fear someone
Pause your quite tounge
My stable one
You see me walk, but I won't run
It's not that I don't feel it, I do
My simple eye closes on you
So why are you loud, is it always?
Will you follow me closely behind?
So why are you loud when I'm doubtful and we find it hard to rise?
Will you follow me closely behind?
Days and nights of our time
Fading out of our sight
So why are you loud, is it always?
Will you follow me closely behind?
So why are you loud when I'm doubtful and we find it hard to rise?
Will you follow me closely behind?
Oh always. Oh always. Oh always. Will you follow me closely behind?

We dont get better than Rhodes and Birdy. They sing to the heart and soul. They sing for the spirit. The spirits arise when they sing.

Seeing and hearing Rhodes in Sydney (touring with Hozier) was one of the best nights of my life. He was stunning. So powerful and it was just him and his guitar. Amazing. At one point I closed my eyes just to take in the sound. I'll never forget it :)

When you played this in Oxford last night it really touched me. No doubt that you are my new favorite artist and I feel honored to have met you. I'm sure that you'll be massive by next year but just to say that you have bags of talent and a fucking amazing voice. Thanks for a great night and good luck!
