Before I Go
The Hi and Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's from an old familiar score
I know it well, that melody
It's funny how a theme recalls a favorite dream
A dream that brought you so close to me
I know each word because I've heard that song before
Forever more's a memory
Please have them play it again
And I'll remember just when I've heard that lovely song before
The Hi and Lo's song "Before I Go" features lyrics that evoke feelings of nostalgia and introspection. The singer sings of a familiar melody, one that transports them back to a favorite dream and brings them closer to a loved one. The repetition of the phrase "I've heard that song before" emphasizes the idea that certain experiences and emotions are cyclical and can be revisited through music.
The lyrics also address the passing of time and the value of memories. The line "Forever more's a memory" suggests that even things that seem permanent eventually become a part of the past. The singer pleads for the song to be played again, presumably to relive the feelings and memories associated with it. The somber tone of the song, combined with the wistful lyrics, creates a melancholy but moving effect.
Overall, "Before I Go" is a poignant tribute to the power of music and memory to evoke emotions and transport us to the past.
