Promises
Sara Farell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not to judge what I'm doin'
Are you high enough?
To excuse that I'm ruined
'Cause I'm ruined
Is it late enough?
For you to come and stay over
'Cause we're free to love
I make no promises, I can't do golden rings
But I'll give you everything
(Tonight)
Magic is in the air, there ain't no science here
So come get your everything
(Tonight)
Tonight
(You're everything tonight)
Is it loud enough?
'Cause my body is calling for you, calling for you
I need someone
To do the things that I do
I'm heating up
Energy's taking control
I'm speeding up
My heartbeat's dancing alone
I make no promises, I can't do golden rings
But I'll give you everything
(Tonight)
Magic is in the air, there ain't no science here
So come get your everything
(Tonight)
Tonight
(You're everything tonight)
'Cause I need
Your green light
Day and night, say that you're mine
'Cause I need
Your green light
Day and night, say that you're mine
I make no promises, I can't do golden rings
But I'll give you everything
(Tonight)
Magic is in the air, there ain't no science here
So come get your everything
(Tonight)
Tonight
In Sara Farell's song Promises, the lyrics speak of a night of passion and desire with someone else. The lyrics begin with the question, "Are you drunk enough? Not to judge what I'm doin'" which shows that the singer is aware that what they are doing may not be seen as appropriate or acceptable. The next line, "Are you high enough? To excuse that I'm ruined" shows that the singer may be in a state of disarray, emotional or physical, and that they need the other person to be in a certain state of mind for them to engage in what they are doing.
The chorus repeats the line, "I make no promises, I can't do golden rings, But I'll give you everything" which speaks to the idea that the singer is not making any commitments to the other person. They may not be able to promise them love, commitment or a future, but they are willing to give them everything they can tonight. The line, "Magic is in the air, there ain't no science here" speaks to the idea that the attraction and chemistry between the two people is not something that can be explained or rationalized, it is just a feeling in the air.
The second verse describes the physical attraction between the singer and the other person. The line, "Is it loud enough? 'Cause my body is calling for you, calling for you" shows that the singer's body is craving the other person's touch. The line, "I'm heating up, Energy's taking control, I'm speeding up, My heartbeat's dancing alone" shows the physical effect that the other person has on the singer and how their body responds.
Overall, the lyrics of Promises speak to the idea of a night of passion and desire without the promise of commitment or love. The singer acknowledges that what they are doing may not be seen as appropriate, but they are willing to give everything they can to the other person for one night of magic.

Thank my God. What beauty He created. I will not stop admiring the works of Your hands, Lord! Who can create such beauty but my God!

This lovely woman should have more TV coverage. Maybe she needs to go on 'The Voice' in England. I am sure she would certainly enchant all the judges. Especially if she sings this song. She would ace the competition!!
