“Unchained Melody” has a soft and gentle feeling but it also has a little sorrow in it. It is one of the best song in the 60’s which has won many hearts. The very first line of the song gives a gentle calmness to our minds and souls. This is the most romantic song to slow-dance to.
“Oh, my love, my darling, I‘ve hungered for your touch… A long, lonely time, Time goes by so slowly And time can do so much, are you still mine?“~ here, he wanted to know if the woman he loves dearly is still someone he could talk to and make love again as time goes really slowly when he is not with her and thus, ends up asking that if she still belongs to him or not. The smooth chords and the perfect beats for the lyrics~ “are you still mine?” is just breathtakingly beautiful. “I need your love x2, Godspeed your love to me”~ He so much craves for her love that he wishes that may the Lord quickly sends her love to him and help him flourish in it.
This song is so beautifully put together for the listeners that it never stops glowing, no matter how old this song gets. His heart’s utmost desire was to cherish every possible moments with her and this is what this song is all about.
“Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea, to the open arms of the sea, Lonely rivers sigh, “Wait for me, wait for me” …I’ll be coming home, wait for me“~ Just like how the lonely rivers flow to the sea to become one with it, no matter what and the sea welcomes it with open arms, he solemnly compares the lonely rivers to himself and how he’d like to go back to their home where she is waiting for him with open arms.
This song reminds everyone of how musics speak the heart’s language and it’s way to communicate with our spirits is very rare and an unique way. And the old time was one of the golden era of time for musics like this.
