Desire

Andy Gibb's song 'Desire' is a heartfelt ode to the power of love and the deep connection between two people. The lyrics explore the idea that love transcends physical appearances, age, and societal norms. Gibb emphasizes that love is a universal experience, capable of uniting people regardless of their differences. The line 'We may be big or small or black or white, eternally' suggests that love is an eternal force that can bridge any gap, while 'Together we can learn to grow' highlights the potential for mutual growth and understanding in a loving relationship.

The chorus, 'You are desire, everything you need I give you right or wrong,' underscores the intensity of the speaker's feelings. The word 'desire' is used to convey a deep, almost primal longing for the beloved, who is described as the foundation of the speaker's existence. This intense emotion is further emphasized by the repetition of 'mine, mine, ine, ine, ine,' which conveys a sense of possessiveness and devotion. The speaker's love is portrayed as unwavering and all-encompassing, willing to provide for the beloved's needs regardless of the circumstances.

In the latter part of the song, Gibb reflects on the passage of time and the enduring nature of love. 'These are the golden years we get to live, we lead the way' suggests that the couple is in a special period of their lives, filled with happiness and fulfillment. The imagery of 'glowing in your light' evokes a sense of warmth and radiance, symbolizing the positive impact the beloved has on the speaker's life. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the speaker's devotion, emphasizing that their desire and love will continue to shine brightly, even in a world that is constantly changing.
