All The Way
Richard Hell The Voidoids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's no good unless he loves you
All the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you
All the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes, when it's real, when it's real
'Cause when somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you
All the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the, all the in-between years
Come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you
All the way
All the way
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you
All the way
All the way
The song “All the Way” by Richard Hell and the Voidoids is a love song about the depth and intensity of true love. The lyrics suggest that love that isn't complete is not worth having: when somebody loves you it's not enough unless they love you all the way. The song stresses the importance of being there for someone and cheering them up when they are down. The repetition of “all the way” emphasizes the completeness that is necessary in love, and the need for commitment that transcends the mundane and everyday.
The song conveys the idea that love should be all-encompassing and that it should endure through all life's ups and downs, from the good times to the hard times. The similes help to intensify the emotions expressed in the song, with the comparison to a tall tree suggesting that love must reach upward constantly and the mention of the deep blue sea indicating that love must be so deep that it becomes a part of the fabric of life. The repeated phrase “when it's real” reminds the listener that this love exists only when it is authentic and true.
“All the Way” is a tender and poignant love song, with lyrics that capture the essence of what it means to love someone deeply and completely. The song retains its popularity and has been covered by several artists over the years, which attests to its continued resonance with people. The interplay of Richard's unique voice with the guitar and bass that the track is built on make it compelling to listen to.
