The Message
Urbie Green and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And found me alone and blue
The man in the moon told me something and told me to tell it to you.
I've got a message from The Man In The Moon for you
Just you
He said to tell you there's a bench in the park for two,
Just two
I know you should be sleeping and I'm keeping you awake
But I'm just delivering a message he told me to take
I've got a message saying love will be 'round to call and then
If we don't meet him he may never be 'round to call again;
The evening found me lonely and I thought you might be lonely too
So I brought a message from The Man In The Moon for you.
The song "The Message" by Urbie Green and His Orchestra is a melancholic love song that tells a story of a lonely heart. The opening lines of the song "The man in the moon looked into my window and found me alone and blue" set the scene for the song's narrative. The singer is alone and feeling blue when suddenly, he receives a message from the man in the moon, telling him to deliver a message to his loved one.
The message is simple yet profound. The man in the moon tells the singer that there is a bench in the park for two and that love will be round to call. The singer takes it upon himself to deliver this message to his loved one and hopes that they will take the opportunity to meet love and not miss the chance.
The song is a beautiful example of how something as simple as a message from the man in the moon can lift one's spirits and bring hope to their lonely heart. It is a reminder that love is always around the corner, and we should never miss a chance to embrace it.
