So Much Love To Give
The Glorious Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a town of limestone and penitentiaries
Can't blame it on all bad luck
The way I fucked things up
I've got a heart in me, I swear
It's sittin' in the back of a bar somewhere
Everything you've heard is true
Ooh, I've got so much love to give
Ooh, I've got so much more than this
Ooh, forgive me, for everything I did
Ooh, I've got so much love to give
I might die on a Saturday night
And wake up Sunday on the wrong side of paradise
I'm rehearsed and overdressed, I'm a goddamned mess
But I've got a head on me, I swear
It's sittin' in the back of the bar somewhere
Everything you've heard is true
But I can make it up to you, yeah
Ooh, I've got so much love to give
Ooh, I've got so much more than this
Ooh, forgive me, for everything I did
Ooh, I've got so much love to give
I've got so much left in me
I've got so much left in me
Me, me
I've got a heart in me, I swear
It's sittin' in the back of a bar somewhere
Everything you've heard is true
Let me make it up to you
I've got so much love to give
Ooh, I've got so much more than this
Ooh, forgive me, for everything I did
Ooh, I've got so much love to give
Ooh, I've got so much more than this (I've got so much more than this)
Ooh, forgive me, for everything I did (I did, I did)
Ooh, I've got so much love to give
The Glorious Sons’ “So Much Love to Give” is a confession of faults and a plea for forgiveness, delivered through the confident vocals of frontman Brett Emmons. Emmons speaks about his childhood, born on Friday the 13th in a town filled with prisons and limestone, placing him in an ill-fated environment that he can’t blame his mistakes on. However, he acknowledges that his current state of being is due to his own messy and disappointing decisions. Despite his flaws, Emmons’ remarkable love capacity and persistence allows him to promise to make it up to the person he’s singing to.
The song touches on the theme of redemption; the message is that despite someone’s history, they still have so much to offer within a relationship. The two choruses that repeat themselves throughout the song deliver a message of hope, where even the darkest pasts can be forgiven and overcome with the right amount of love. The line, “I’ve got so much love to give” is repeated throughout the song, but the emphasis on the word “so” at the beginning implies that Emmons knows exactly how much love he has to offer; enough to make up for all the mistakes he’s made in the past.
In conclusion, The Glorious Sons’ “So Much Love to Give” speaks to the human capacity for love and forgiveness in the face of personal chaos and faults. It’s a song about hope and redemption, where even the darkest of pasts can be overcome with the right amount of determination and an open heart. It’s a feel-good ballad that can be enjoyed even by those who don’t relate to the specific stories within the verses.
