Aldrich's albums are usually pretty , easy listening,but if you haven't heard one, it's worth spending up to three bucks to own your own little bit of authentic 60s experience. Not the Haight-Ashbury-Woodstock-Jimi Hendrix kind of experience, but the experience most people had. What he produced entertained millions, although obviously not cutting edge music. Put on Ronnie's take on "Music to Watch Girls By" and you can imagine yourself strolling down the aisle at the A&P or shopping for school clothes at J.C. Penney. Or riding an elevator to your dad's office. Or waiting at the Omaha Airport. Who needs Eastern philosophy to get blissed out?
Born at Erith , Kent, U K, 15th February 1916, educated in Folkestone and proved musically talented as he learnt to play the piano aged only 3 !!! After his musical career he retired to the Isle of Man, where he died, from prostate cancer, aged 77, on the 30th September 1993.
What Is Life?
Ronnie Aldrich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
The lyrics to Ronnie Aldrich and His Orchestra's song "What is life" express a deep desire for a lifelong commitment and a unity in love. The singer wants to be with their partner in every aspect of their life, whether it be in all the different types of light, the various seasons, or through all of life's ups and downs. They want to share in their partner's joys and be with them to hear their silent wishes. The singer's request is simple but meaningful: that they spend all of their life with their beloved. They want to be the reason for each moment, for every penny, and every rhyme in their lives.
The song suggests that love is the ultimate reason to live, and being with someone you love is what makes life worth living. The singer promises to awaken the love in their partner's eyes, and they express their willingness to be with their partner through every time, and all memories recalled will be those that they shared together.
