Secret love
The Great Jazz Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love,
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star,
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are,
Now, I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my hearts an open door,
And my secret love's
No secret anymore.
The Great Jazz Trio's rendition of the song Secret Love is a tender and emotional exploration of a love that once had to be kept secret but now can be celebrated openly. The song begins with the vocalist sharing that they once had a secret love that lived within them. This could be interpreted as the love being hidden because it was a forbidden love or because the person didn't feel ready or confident enough to share it with others. Nevertheless, the love became too great to keep secret and the vocalist "told a friendly star" all about their secret love. They express just how wonderful this person is and why they are so deeply in love with them. Finally, they proclaim to the world that their hearts are now an open door and that their secret love is no longer a secret anymore.
This song speaks to the universal human desire for love and connection. It is a beautiful reminder that love is meant to be shared and celebrated, not hidden away. The Great Jazz Trio's interpretation of this song is particularly poignant and powerful, as they infuse it with their own unique style and musicality. The use of jazz elements, such as the piano and saxophone, add an additional layer of emotion and depth to the song. Overall, Secret Love is a beautiful and timeless classic that speaks to the deepest longings of the human heart.
