Don't Stop the Music
The Bird and the Bee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna feast on the stars in the sky
While I'll be gone don't stop dreaming
Don't be sad and don't cry
Lazy days and sunny rays will guide me
Back home to where I belong
If god gives me grace then he will find me a space
And I hope I'll be singing this song
Don't stop being happy
Don't stop your clapping
Don't stop your laughing
Take a piece of life
It's alright to hold back the night
From time to time
When we're whole worlds apart
You will still hold a room in my heart
From time to time
We will fall side by side
Will you still have that look in your eye?
Don't stop being happy
Don't stop your clapping
Don't stop your laughing
Take a piece of life
It's alright to hold back the night
In the first verse of Don’t Stop the Music, the singer is reflecting on herself and trying to see past her façade. She is standing on a balcony and feels that something inevitable is about to happen. She then asks for someone to stop the music and crown the clown with the red balloon. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the end of an era or the finale of something important. When the singer asks for the music to stop, she is asking for a break that will allow her to process her thoughts and feelings. The clown with the red balloon may represent someone who is celebrating something and needs to be crowned or acknowledged. This could be the singer herself, or someone else.
The second verse of the song suggests that the more the singer learns, the closer she comes to the truth. She realizes that what she was looking for was in plain sight and that nobody was hiding it from her. This could be interpreted as a realization about a relationship, a personal growth moment or a moment of clarity. The singer again asks for the music to stop and for the clown with the red balloon to be crowned.
The repetition of the phrase "Somebody stop the music" implies a yearning for change or a need for a break. It suggests that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and needs to pause and process what is happening. The last line of the song "Don't love ya, baby don't love ya" is repeated six times, and it could be interpreted as an affirmation to herself or a message to someone else that she does not have feelings for them.

Why isn't this cover on iTunes? The Bird and the Bee are underrated. Like, none of my friends know who they are, and I feel like saying, 'ARE YOU CRAZY?!" This is such a good cover!
@escapingmydestiny
This version is just amazing! Who would have thought Don't Stop The Music would send chills down my spine. Just incredible. This is billions better than the original
@drdetroitcity
Those of us who have some decades of popular music behind us will surely recognize parallels here with the sound and some of the techniques and balances used by the Carpenters of the 1970's. I'm sure they have been some considerable influence on this couple, the Bird and the Bee
@ChuloDavidcito
Phenomenal arrangement! The triplet rhythm is heavenly.
