Lyrics
Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
For All Music Guide, Stewart Mason called the song "the power ballad that transcends the inherent cheesiness of the style to become a genuinely effective single." Mason also praised the "solid melody" and "appropriately bombastic arrangement...over which Adams delivers his most effective vocal performance ever."
This is one of those feel-good, rock and roll songs that is simply focuses on the state of being in love.
While many of us may have sensed it intuitively, there is now science behind the statement that "Love is all you need." A 75-year longitudinal study by Harvard researchers suggests that love is indeed key to a happy and fulfilling life.
Lyrics
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Love is a complex mix of emotions and chemistry that is difficult to pin down. At its core, being in love is caused by the release of certain hormones in the brain, such as dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin.
These chemicals create a feeling of pleasure, happiness, and attachment to the person we love.
Additionally, shared experiences and a deep connection with someone can also contribute to feelings of love. Ultimately, being in love is a beautiful and mysterious phenomenon that has fascinated humans for centuries.
It’s a beautiful analogy to compare finding someone who is “all that you want and need” and being in their arms is the same as being in Heaven.
Lyrics
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah, nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh, there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way
Do you believe in the notion that there is only one great love of a lifetime?
As a young widow I truly struggled with this. The lyrics “once in your life you find someone…” is limiting, because as humans we are capable of immense love. I believe I’ve been blessed to find two great and lasting loves in my life. My late husband Mark, and my husband Paul.
The lyrics “nothing could change what you mean to me” is true! Not even falling in love again. Nothing can change my love for Mark. Some may not believe this, and that is okay. I can only express my experience with it.
Love energy is infinite.
Develop great relationships by looking at everyone as one, big, world family. Everything in this Universe is one sea of energy. Any separation we think that there is between us, is an illusion. The more we think like that, the higher the spiritual intelligence for all of us.
Think about this…
Do you appreciate how wonderful it feels to be in love?
Key Take Aways
Love is all you need to lead a happy and fulfilling life
Love energy is infinite
Everything in the Universe is one sea of energy
