Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sarah & Koen Wauters's song 16, particularly the chorus, "When we make love, you make me believe in all of my dreams, do you know what that means? You're the reason I breathe," express the deep connection and love between two people. The verses talk about being lost and found in each other's arms and being too much in love to think about anyone else. The imagery used in the lyrics is very visceral, like "closer to heaven ever since you loved me" and "love is life between a woman and a man."


The chorus stands out as the strongest aspect of the song, with its straightforward declaration of the power of love to transform and give meaning to life. The repetition of "you make me believe" is a strong anchor, underscoring the fact that love is not just a feeling but a belief in something greater than oneself.


Overall, "16" is a romantic ballad that celebrates the power of love to transform and give life meaning. It's a heartfelt tribute to the special bond between two people, and the chorus is especially poignant in the way it expresses the depth of that bond.

長文のコメント失礼します。
この曲はとても想い入れのある曲で凄く印象に残ってます。
というのも、この曲はあたしたちの結婚式のエンドロールで流れた曲です。
他の選曲は凄く悩んで自分たちで決めましたが
これは自分たちが選んだのではなく、当時のカメラマンさんにゆいいつお任せをしたもので、
あたしたちも当日までは知らなかった曲です。
この曲がエンドロールで流れた瞬間、なぜか自然と夫婦2人で顔合わせて涙を浮かべたものです。
結婚式当時はまだ曲を出したばかりで、あまり世の中に知られてなかったみたいですが
それから瞬く間に一気にヒットして、常に色んな場所で聴くことになりました。
まるでカメラマンさんがヒットを予測してたみたいに、、、
ほんとに当時のカメラマンさんには感謝でいっぱいです!!
ほんとに素敵な曲をありがとうございました。

There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
And there goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
There goes my hands shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now
And if I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
And I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna hide no more
I don't wanna cry no more
Come back I need you to hold me (you are the reason)
Be a little closer now
Just a little closer now
Come a little closer
I need you to hold me tonight
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
'Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

You Are The Reason

There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
And there goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
There goes my hands shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now
And if I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
And I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna hide no more
I don't wanna cry no more
Come back I need you to hold me (you are the reason)
Be a little closer now
Just a little closer now
Come a little closer
I need you to hold me tonight
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
'Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Callum and Leona's collaberation shoots this song into the stratosphere. Thank you both for sharing your voices with us on this beautiful song.
