Joy
Sweet Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's past overdue
It's all about love, girl
And it's all about you
You give me power to live
Without water or bread
Listen closely
While I tell you what you do to my head
Give it to me one more time
I feel joy
Ain't no waiting in line
Fly me so high
Break my string with the ground
Send your message up
For I'll never down come down
Joy
I do believe that you've heard it before
What it means to you now, girl
Is for you to explore
For the candle is lit
And the flame rises high
Look at the world, girl
In the clear evening sky
If you missed it before
I'll repeat what I said
Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy
If you missed it before
I'll repeat what I said
Love comes from your heart
But it grows in my head
And what may be today
So fresh and alive
Must be worked at tomorrow
To make it survive
Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy
The song "Joy" by Sweet Pain is a beautiful expression of love. The song starts with the singer telling his beloved that he has something very important to tell her: it's all about love, and it's all about her. The singer feels empowered and uplifted by his beloved's love, stating that it gives him the power to live without even basic necessities like water or bread. He asks her to listen closely as he describes the effect she has on him.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the word "Joy" several times, announces the ecstatic state that the singer feels due to his love for the girl. He asks for her to give him this feeling one more time, and assures her that he doesn't have to wait in line for it. The metaphorical imagery of flying high, breaking the strings with the ground, and sending messages up symbolize the intensity of the emotion that the singer is feeling.
The singer concludes by stating that joy is an elusive emotion and that it must be worked at to make it survive. This may mean that he understands that while the initial rush of being in love can be incredibly joyful, it is important to keep putting in the effort to maintain that feeling. The song is a beautiful ode to love, joy, and the transcendent power of emotions.

Outstanding - yet another fantastic classic band that deserves praise and new fans!
John Willoughby
Marvellous. I found this track on a brilliant double LP compilation album called All Good Clean Fun on the stand in a newsagent at the time. I later managed to find the album itself. Good stuff from a magical era of music.
Paul Catania
Cool! Never heard of these guys. They have that early '70s sound I love. Nice flatwound strings on the bass! Excellent vocals!
Larry Marsden
The whole album is great! I had searched 3 years for the vinyl after hearing this cut on WNEW FM on the Jonathan Schwartz evening show in 1970.

I've heard this song on a sampler LP at my uncle's place a long time ago. There's one thing I really don't understand: how could it happen that this band didn't make any notable success? They where far better than many successful bands of that era and within the same genre. Pitty. I would love to hear the whole album. Any links?
