In 1972, Wood released his third album In Despair. He became a very popular singer of that era and recorded many albums for Vicor Records. In Despair is an album of cover versions of popular English songs from the 1950s and 1960s. Three songs on the album, namely "Jenny Jenny", "Rip It Up" and "Good Golly Miss Molly", were originally hits for Little Richard in the 1950s. The album has a combination of slow and fast songs, and the slow ballads include "In Despair", "Vaya Con Dios", "Have a Good Time", "Hurt" and "Return to Me". The album's ballads are highly favorable to karaoke singing, and a number of them are still heard in karaoke nightspots. Among the album's upbeat songs are versions of Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman", Gene Vincent's "Be-Bop-a-Lula" and Del Shannon's "Runaway".
In 1974, Wood released his eleventh album, Ihilak. Eleven of the album's 12 songs are Philippine folk love songs sung in the Visayan language. The remaining song, "Gugma Ko", uses the melody of Neil Diamond's "Song Sung Blue" and replaces the original English lyrics with Visayan-language ones.
In 1979, Wood covered the Indonesian version of "Anak" from the fellow Filipino original artist Freddie Aguilar.
Wood and his family migrated to the United States in the late 1970s.
Before becoming a singer, Wood starred in some productions of Sampaguita Pictures. He was a member of Iglesia ni Cristo. He previously hosted the show Beautiful Sunday every Sunday on the Iglesia ni Cristo-owned Net25.
Wood died on April 23, 2021, due to COVID-19 complications.
A Tear Fell
Victor Wood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A tear fell when you left me all alone and feeling blue
A tear fell when you told me that your love was not for me
Oh, I didn't miss the teardrops but I missed you constantly
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love.
The teardrops that you stepped on as you danced across the floor
Were crushed like my poor heart was when you walked out of my doorA tear fell when you told me that the flame in your heart died
Darlin' have I lost you like this tear drops from my eyes?
A fool am I, a fool am I in love...
A tear fell when you told me that the flame in your heart died
Darlin' have I lost you like this tear drops from my eyes
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love.
In Victor Wood's song "A Tear Fell," the lyrics express the deep emotional pain and heartbreak that come with a breakup. The singer is struggling to cope with the loss of his lover and is filled with regret about what could have been. When he sees his ex-lover with another person, he can't help but feel a tear fall down his face. The tears continue to fall as he thinks about the love that has been lost and the loneliness that comes with it.
The lyrics also allude to the idea of being a fool in love. The singer feels foolish for loving someone so deeply only to have the love not be reciprocated. The metaphor of a tear falling is particularly effective in conveying the sadness and vulnerability that the singer feels. The image of the crushed teardrops on the dance floor mirrors the singer's own shattered heart.
Overall, "A Tear Fell" is a poignant and emotional song that speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the powerful impact that love can have on our lives.
