Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unforgettable
That's what you are
Unforgettable
Tho' near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
Never before has someone been more
Chorus
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more that's how you'll stay
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
Chorus
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more that's how you'll stay
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
The song "Unforgettable" by Tim & Nicki Bluhm is a timeless declaration of love and admiration. The lyrics express how unforgettable the person they are singing to is, and how the mere thought of them can make them feel. The first verse compares the person to a song of love that clings to them, emphasizing the impact they have on the singer's life. The chorus repeats the word "unforgettable" and reinforces that the person will always remain unforgettable in every way.
However, what is interesting about the lyrics is the use of a play on words. On one hand, the song is saying that the person they are singing to is unforgettable, and will always stay that way. On the other hand, the singer is saying that the fact that the unforgettable person thinks they are unforgettable too is "incredible." This suggests that perhaps the singer does not fully believe that they are as memorable as the person they are singing to, making the song both a tribute to the person and somewhat of a love letter to themselves.
The lyrics of "Unforgettable" are simple yet impactful, reinforcing the idea that sometimes the most effective way to express love is through acknowledging the incredible power someone holds over your life.

Nicki has got such a beautiful voice. I like this kind of arrangement, it feels pure - unmodified. This sort of music and musicians should get more space these days. Thanks for the Bridgesessions!

I did. I just discovered Nicki and company and LOVE THEM, but I am holding club seats to the Chili Peppers in Pittsburgh May 2012 so yeah, was expecting that song (and also REALLY MISSING THE SF BAY AREA terribly, while sitting in the 'Burg -- don't ask, I was born here).
