Love Revolution
Will Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl I'm going
So once I think
This love revolution
It's beautiful, feel the air
It's getting warm in here
This love revolution
Happiness and loneliness
Happiness is to feel loneliness
And loneliness blew my world
How could I guess
When I'm only looking at myself
It was there right at the door
Then happiness is to feel loneliness
And loneliness blew my world
How could I guess
When I'm only looking at myself
It was there right at the door
I'm telling you, open up
Now things have changed
It's a love revolution
Air in my booze
Get out my way
Record I'm strong
Happiness and loneliness
Happiness and loneliness
Happiness is to feel loneliness
And loneliness blew my world
How could I guess
When I'm only looking at myself
It was there right at the door
Then happiness is to feel loneliness
And loneliness blew my world
How could I guess
When I'm only looking at myself
It was there right at the door
This rocket fuel, is giving you
Take us to the moon now
It's a love revolution
It's a love revolution
It's a love revolution
The lyrics to Will Young's song "Love Revolution" describe a personal awakening to the power of love and the importance of opening oneself up to it. The singer speaks to a girl and says that he is going and it is up to her whether she wants to come along. He then reflects on how beautiful love is, feeling the warmth in the air as it surrounds him. The chorus discusses the paradoxical relationship between happiness and loneliness; Young suggests that it is possible to find happiness within loneliness and that loneliness can be the catalyst for true happiness. He then implores the listener to open up and embrace the love around them, describing a "love revolution" that is taking place.
The verses continue the theme of personal growth, describing how loneliness can lead to a realization that meaningful change is needed. Young sings that he once only looked at himself, but now realizes that love was always there waiting for him to take the first step. The bridge changes the tone of the song, becoming more optimistic and grandiose as Young declares that the revolution is like "rocket fuel" that can take them all the way to the moon.

Deserves to reach number one. Infectious and catchy with a great video to boot. Will Young rarely puts a foot wrong regards song choice and videos. I always thought he deserves a higher profile than what he has.
