July '98
You Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want one more day like we are still in July of 1998
To feel your touch and you to hold me in your arms
I can see your face when I look in the mirror
I can see your face when I'm imagining a hero
I want one more day like it's July of 1998
And everybody says that the good die young
But I don't care cоs I want you still around
17 Years filled with tears
17 Years filled with sadness and pain





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of YÖU's song "July '98" convey a longing for the past and a desire to relive a particular moment in time. The line "I want one more day like we are still in July of 1998" suggests a yearning for the innocence and joy of a specific period in their life. This could signify a deep nostalgia for a time when things felt simpler, when they were surrounded by love and happiness. By longing for this one more day, the singer wishes to recapture the emotions and experiences they had during that time.


The next line expresses a profound desire for physical intimacy and emotional connection. The phrase, "To feel your touch and you to hold me in your arms," conveys a yearning for the warmth and comfort of being embraced by a loved one. This line suggests that the singer's longing is not solely for the time period but also for the presence of a specific person. It emphasizes the importance of physical touch and emotional closeness in their connection.


The following lines, "I can see your face when I look in the mirror / I can see your face when I'm imagining a hero," demonstrate the strong impact this person had on the singer's life. The mention of seeing their face in the mirror suggests that the memories and presence of this person are deeply ingrained in their thoughts and imagination. They remain etched in the singer's mind, serving as a constant reminder of the relationship they once had.


Continuing, the lyrics convey a disregard for the notion that "the good die young." While others may believe that good things or people do not last, the singer's love and longing for this person stubbornly persist. They assert, "But I don't care cos I want you still around." This line signifies a defiance against the idea that happiness and love are temporary. It reveals the singer's unwavering desire to keep this person in their life, regardless of any challenges or obstacles that may come.


Lastly, the lines "17 Years filled with tears / 17 Years filled with sadness and pain" indicate that the singer has spent a significant amount of time carrying the weight of emotional turmoil. This suggests a prolonged period of heartache and sorrow since that specific time in 1998. These lyrics may reflect the impact of losing the person referenced earlier, and the subsequent years have been marked by longing and grief. The inclusion of these lines highlights the depth of the singer's emotions and the enduring impact that this person had on their life.

Rita's performance when she took ill from the carbon fumes was first class!
I honestly felt ill myself just watching her!

No wonder shes been such an amazing character & long lasting
I used to relish her spats with Elsie & hubby Len!

So sad for Toyah wanting to learn & being ignored by her parents & bloody Ken !
I used to conduct adult learning classes in various subjects & often had 15yr olds desparate to catch up on subjects or come to realise " playing the buffoon" hasnt helped them one bit

But its mainly peer pressure & not wanting their trouble maker pals taking the micky!
I found it very satisfying to help these older teens out & being there for them when no one else cared enough.

Never judge a book by its cover
Even the punkiest & rebel rousing kids can surprise you
By their capacity to learn & do very well in life!

Cheers EHS

Maud was such an underrated character, the scene between herself and Jim was superb. Thank you Eve for uploading one of the last great years of Corrie.

@thecoolpersonmillie7525

Corrie is still great tho

@murphy9039

@Lego Fan For Life Todays Corrie wouldn't be my cup of tea, too many sensational storylines and far too many serial killers on one street!

@thecoolpersonmillie7525

@Murphy 903 while I do agree with u I kinda like the modern corrie because just some storylines are good

@EveHenleySpread

You must be watching a different programme to me, it's lifeless compared to how it was.. dull as ditchwater!

@murphy9039

@EveHenleySpread Totally agree with you Eve. No atmosphere even in the Rovers and this was long before the pandemic!

I luv the way Fred speaks out loud,when he called out Toyota for Toyah,I nearly fell out my chair laughing..Thank you so much for all these old episodes.....At the moment way better story lines than current....

@roybarnes-thewildlifeman1855

Roy and Jean were easily the greatest actors to ever appear in Coronation Street. Wonderful acting, the ability to be humorous or tragic with equal intensity, and with a truly magical and enchanting presence. No one else comes close.

Each to their own.
