Help!
The King´s Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done
Before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the
Doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.
The King's Singers' song "Help" is a heartfelt plea for assistance from someone whom the singer trusts and relies on. The lyrics describe a sense of vulnerability and insecurity, with the singer acknowledging that they are not as self-sufficient as they once were. The opening lines, "Help, I need somebody, help, not just anybody, help, you know I need someone, help," set the tone for the entire song, which remains focused on the need for support, both emotional and practical.
The song goes on to describe the singer's past self-assurance and independence, contrasting it with their current state of mind. The lines "When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way" imply that the singer used to be more self-reliant, but now acknowledges their need for assistance. This vulnerability is further emphasized with the repetition of the line "Help me if you can, I'm feeling down, and I do appreciate you being round," which underscores the importance of the relationship between the singer and the person they are addressing.
Overall, "Help" is a simple yet powerful message about the importance of human connection and support. The song highlights the vulnerability of our human condition and our common need for the help of others at different points in our lives.

Oh my heavens, this bass.... I'm in love. They're all amazing, (kudos to the countertenors too!) but those effortless low notes get me... (swoon.) Okay, I'll stop fangirling...
