Their fourteen album catalog, recorded for Germany's MPS records and now available as the "Magic Voices" collection, reflects the best of what the human voice is capable. The arrangements that member Gene Puerling wrote for the group were nothing short of a revelation-and the group's use of studio multi-tracking (a burgeoning technology) developed a sound never heard before. The name "Singers Unlimited" is forever inscribed in the annals of vocal jazz, and deservedly so.
Puerling's Singers Unlimited arrangements earned him the reputation as one of the best vocal writers in the world. Members of the renowned jazz-gospel vocal group Take 6 often gives credit to Puerling and the Singers Unlimted as innovators in the a cappella world, claiming that they "went to school" on Puerling's arrangements.

Like Someone In Love
The Singers Unlimited Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Bump into things like someone in love.
Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,

And feeling like someone in love.

Line by Line Meaning

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Recently, I have been spending time staring at the stars,

Hearing guitars like someone in love.
When I hear the sound of guitars, I feel like I am in love.

Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Occasionally, I surprise myself with my actions.

Mostly whenever you're around me.
This mostly happens when you are in my presence.

Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Recently, I have been walking as if I have wings attached to my feet.

Bump into things like someone in love.
I accidentally bump into things because my mind is preoccupied with thoughts of being in love.

Each time I look at you,
Whenever I gaze upon you,

I'm limp as a glove,
I feel weak and powerless like a limp glove.

And feeling like someone in love.
This feeling is that of being in love with you.
