Love Changes Everything
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hands and faces, earth and sky
Love, love changes everything,
How you live and how you die
Love, can make the summer fly,
Or a night seem like a lifetime
Yes love, love changes everything,
Now I tremble at your name
Love, love changes everything,
Says are longer, words mean more
Love, love changes everything,
Pain is deeper, than before
Love, will turn your world around,
And that world will last forever
Yes, love, love changes everything,
Brings you glory, brings you shame
Nothing in the world will ever be the same
Off into the world we go,
Planning futures, shaping years
Love bursts in and suddenly,
All our wisdom disappears
Love, makes fools of everyone,
All the rules we make are broken
Yes, love, love changes everything,
Live or perish, in its flame
Love will never ever let you be the same
Love will never ever let you be the same
Sarah Brightman's "Love Changes Everything" is a moving and emotional love song that conveys the idea that love can create major changes in an individual's life. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "love changes everything" several times and highlights the multiple ways in which love can impact people. The first verse highlights the power that love has and how it influences one's existence. Hands and faces, earth and sky can appear new and different when seen through the lens of love. Love has the capacity to make time itself seem elastic - a summer can seem to pass by in the blink of an eye or a night might seem to go on forever. Finally, the singer admits that she now trembles at the name of her beloved because of the power of love that now resides in her heart.
The second verse of the song describes how love can transform society's constructs. Love alters the way people communicate and understand each other. It can amplify the intensity of a person's pain or sadness compared to before. Love also affects one's perception of the future - it can turn everything about your world upside down or right side up, and the love you experience will last a lifetime.
In the final verse, Brightman sings about the risks involved in love - without warning it can crash into one's life and topple all the plans and defenses that people have carefully put in place. No matter who you are or what you believe in, love makes fools of everyone, breaking every rule that we think we know. Love's fire blazes so brightly that it can destroy people completely, and it will leave nothing behind but a scorched memory. The song is about the transformative force of love and how it can break down assumptions and barriers that people have in order to bring about profound changes.
