Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up on the internet
Some like to keep in touch
And Some I never met
I been so many places
And no I can't forget
Where I come from
I love life like
The way it should be
The way it's always been
I wish you would see
Love life like
Its goin' non-stop
The way it used to be
Its all worth while
CHORUS
And everything is so beautiful
Say with me its illusional
Love is all we need after all
Everything is so beautiful
Under the Sun
Under the Sun
Under the Sun
Under the Sun
>Instrumental Break<
I had a conversation
Just the other day
Made me think a little
On what I want to say
Having motivation
All the dedication
The real Situation
We're here for celebration
Love life like
The way we used to
Way it's always been
When we follow through
Love life like
The way we want to
Way it's always been
There's still enough of you
CHORUS
Under the Sun
Under the Sun
Under the Sun
Under the Sun
Salvador Santana's song "Under The Sun" is a feel-good anthem about the beauty of life, no matter where you come from or how many places you've been. The song begins with Santana reflecting on the various faces he has come across on the internet, some of which he knows and others he's never met. Despite the distance, he feels a connection to everyone he has encountered along the way. He then mentions his hometown of San Francisco and his "Frisco mindset," indicating a sense of pride for where he comes from.
As the song continues, the listener is transported into the present moment where Salvador is simply grateful for life's adventures. He encourages the audience to follow his lead and love life like it's "going non-stop," just like it used to be. He delivers a powerful message that everything is so beautiful if you choose to see it that way. The chorus hammers home the central theme of the track: "Love is all we need after all."
The instrumental break serves as a moment of reflection, relying solely on the melodies and harmonies to convey the message. Salvador then shares a recent conversation he had that made him think about what he wanted to express. He highlights the importance of motivation, dedication, and celebration, all wrapped in the context of life being worthy of love and admiration. The song ends on a high note with the repetition of the chorus and the phrase "under the sun" four times, reminding everyone to appreciate life's natural beauty.
