Someone Like You
The Fountainhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll pray it'll happen to me
Listen to your radio
And try to remember how it used to be
I'm looking for someone like you
I'm looking for someone like you
Someone like you, someone like me
You've got to reach out and call my name
Got to tell me that it's still the same
I'm looking for someone like you
I'm looking for someone like you
I'm still looking for someone like you
I'm looking for someone like you
Round and round I'll go
Just looking for a perfect world
Running around every town living it up
You've got to listen to your radio
And try to remember how it used to be
I'm looking for someone like you
I'm still looking for someone like you
I'm looking for someone like you
I'm looking for someone like you
The lyrics to The Fountainhead's song Someone Like You carry a romantic and wistful tone, as the singer expresses a desire to find someone who can fill a void in their life. The opening lines "Touch what you see / And I'll pray it'll happen to me" suggest a belief in the power of visualization and manifesting one's desires. The mention of the radio and the refrain "try to remember how it used to be" evoke a sense of nostalgia for a simpler or happier time.
The chorus, which repeats the title line "I'm looking for someone like you," reinforces the central idea of the song. The verses elaborate on this theme, painting a picture of the singer's search for a kindred spirit who shares their vision of a "perfect world." The lines "Imagine just how it could feel / Someone like you, someone like me / You've got to reach out and call my name / Got to tell me that it's still the same" suggest that the singer has a specific idea of what they're looking for in a partner, and they long for that person to make themselves known.
Overall, Someone Like You conveys a sense of yearning and hopefulness, as the singer seeks out a connection that could bring them closer to their idealized vision of love.

Gracias a los avances tecnológicos que incluyen a YouTube y otras plataformas podemos volver a escuchar a mi entender unos de los mejores temas que sonaron en mi vida. De finales de los 80 y que ya es inmortal. Gracias por subirlo y permitir transportarnos a esa etapa inolvidable de la música.
