Hello again
Ronan Keating Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just called to say hello
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
When I'm here alone
And you're there at home, hello
Maybe it's been crazy
And maybe I'm to blame
But I put my heart above my head
We've been through it all
And you loved me just the same
And when you're not there
I just need to hear
Hello, my friend, hello
It's good to need you so
It's good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say, hello
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev'ry night
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait
Hello
The song "Hello Again" by Ronan Keating is about reconnecting with an old friend or lover. The singer couldn't sleep and decided to call the person just to say "hello." The lyrics express how much the singer thinks about this person when they're alone, and how hearing their voice makes everything better. The singer acknowledges that things may have been crazy in the past, and that they may have been at fault, but they still love the person and need to hear their voice.
The first two lines of the song set the tone with a simple greeting, but the emotion behind it quickly becomes clear. The chorus repeats the word "hello" multiple times, emphasizing the importance of this one simple word. The verse about putting the heart above the head suggests that the singer may have made some emotional decisions in the past that caused problems in the relationship, but that the other person still loves them anyway. The overall message of the song is one of longing and nostalgia, and it's clear that the singer deeply cares about the person on the other end of the line.

I love the "Hello Again" very much. No matter how situation changed but the song is still powerful to move the feeling up. You missed a lot of love from your family on early age. Therefore you suffered a sadness in late life. I hope that you'll try to get a peace mind and a good sleep to make you feel better soon. A true love will never fade. Best wishes
