Moment to Moment
Vanelli Gino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too many echoes in my head
Too many fires left burning
In this bed
Too many thoughts of desperation
So much pain deep down below
So mych a slave to my senses
I can't let go
From moment to moment
I live and I die
This can't go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This can't go on anymore
Unless we both give it all
I ask you how can a man keep his distance
How can he reason with his heart
How can you hold me so near
Yet keep me so far
From moment to moment
I live and I die
This can't go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This can't go on anymore
Unless we both give it all
Sometimes I'd like to break you down
To see if there's a trace of woman in you that could be found
But I just keep prayin' you'll come around
And live from moment to moment
I live from moment to moment
I live from moment to moment
So much a slave to my senses
I can't let go
From moment to moment
I live and I die
This can't go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This can't go on anymore
Unless we both give it all
You know I want to give it all
I live from moment to moment
Everyday of my life
I live from moment to moment
The lyrics of Gino Vanelli's "Moment to Moment" express the pain of a broken relationship that has endured countless nights of isolation, fires left burning, and moments of desperation. The repeated line "from moment to moment" emphasizes the fleeting nature of the singer's existence, as he struggles to find meaning and purpose in a world without the love of his life. Despite the singer's attempts to reason with his heart and hold his partner near, she remains stubbornly distant, causing him to feel trapped and enslaved to his senses.
The singer's desire to "break [his partner] down" in order to find a trace of her womanhood reflects a sense of frustration and desperation. Yet despite these feelings, the singer remains hopeful that his partner will eventually "come around" and they will both be able to give their all to the relationship. The song is a poignant reminder of the transience of life and the importance of living in the moment, even when those moments are painful and difficult.

Si indagas un poco mas sobre Gino Vannelli te darás cuenta que el permanecer semidesconocido o semiolvidado fue una decisión propia al darse cuenta del vacio que la fama le inspiraba en su alma.

Após este álbum, ele ficou quieto, esperando acabar o contrato com a gravadora, por quatro longos anos. Por não concordar em ser colocado como símbolo sexual. E não poder gravar, suas próprias composições.
Mas o que é bom, permanece.
Incrível Gino Vannelli 🎙
Um artista sem igual. Continua firme com sua carreira, suas composições, e inovações geniais. Um fenômeno de bom gosto!🎶
