Pieces Of Me
The Lovetones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

pieces of me are fallin everywhere
well maybe i, maybe i just don't care
and i'll be, seeing you again
someday

what did we do in those days?
how did we get through, who can say?
the world still turnin all around
our feet, they never touch the ground
the world still turnin all around
and we're still here

pieces of me are fallin everywhere
well maybe i, maybe i just dont care
and i'll be, seeing you again
somewhere

what did we do in those days?
how did we get through, who can say?

the world still turnin all around
our feet, they never touch the ground
the world still turnin all around
and we're still here
the world still turnin all around
our feet, they never touch the ground
the world still turnin all around
and we're still here

the world still turnin all around
(we're stil here, we're still here)
the world still turnin all around
our feet, they never touch the ground




the world still turnin all around
(we're still here, we're still here)

Overall Meaning

The Lovetones's song Pieces Of Me presents a sense of detachment towards life, as if the singer is looking in from an outside perspective. The piece begins with the line "pieces of me are falling everywhere," which suggests that the singer is going through some sort of internal turmoil, and parts of themselves are seeping out. However, they follow this up with "well maybe i, maybe i just don't care," indicating that they are not affected by it, as if they're already past the point of caring.


They then move on to question the memories of the past, asking "what did we do in those days? how did we get through, who can say?" This line is almost nostalgic, as if the singer is reliving past experiences but can't quite remember the details. The next line, "the world still turnin all around, our feet, they never touch the ground," highlights the detachment further, as if the singer is just a spectator to their own life.


Overall, Pieces Of Me is a bittersweet reflection on life and the internal battle of detachment. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who may have gone through some tough times but has come out the other side, albeit with a sense of detachment towards life.

The lovetones. Close to perfect male voice harmony. Their version of 'Key to my happiness' shows how well cross harmonies can work.

@IanLevine

Yes of course. Stan Braceley, the guy on the left, was the remaining living original member who sang with Mary Wells. He reformed the group.

@RogerImhada

This in Northern Soul at it's very purest, how it should be, it should be played at every Northern Soul venue around the world. It is the very essence of Northern Soul. Who gives fuck what year it was made or who the producer was, it's just great great music. Peace from San Francisco Roger Imhada.

@MetropolitanSoul

One of my favourite Motorcity tracks !

@IanLevine

It was on a CD album called "You Didn't Say A Word", released on Goldmine in 2000. It's long deleted, but Amazon still have it.

@kennyincanada

Ian... What else can I say, but FANTASTIC. Thanks

@drstevie

Immense !

@alanhackett2727

Ace tune, Ian Levine and Hitsville Chalky brought this to my attention. Thanks guys

@IanLevine

Yes he is indeed. Roy Gennard (known as Hitsville Chalky) talks to him all the time.

@IanLevine

Pity this one looks a bit fuzzy. It looked much better before YouTube compressed it. Oh well - at least it's up finally. I've been trying to improve it for over a year.
