Still In Love With You

Gary Moore's 'Still In Love With You' is a poignant exploration of enduring love and the heartache that accompanies it. The song delves into the emotional turmoil of a man who is grappling with the aftermath of a breakup. The opening lines, 'I think I'll just fall to pieces / If I don't find something else to do,' immediately set the tone of despair and helplessness. The protagonist is consumed by sadness, unable to move on from the love he still harbors for his former partner. This sentiment is further emphasized with the repeated line, 'Woman, I'm still in love with you,' which serves as a haunting reminder of his unrelenting feelings.

The lyrics also touch upon the common belief that time heals all wounds. However, Moore challenges this notion by highlighting the 'empty feeling' that persists despite the passage of time. The line, 'So people say time has a way of healing / And it can dry all the tears from your eyes,' juxtaposed with 'Oh but darling they don’t tell you / About this empty feeling,' underscores the lingering pain and the difficulty of truly moving on. The protagonist's head is in a 'crazy spin,' indicating the mental and emotional chaos that accompanies his heartache.

In the latter part of the song, there is a glimmer of hope as the protagonist pleads for one last chance. 'Now that it's all over / Woman, there's something I think you should know / Baby, baby, you might think it over / Just one more time before you go,' he implores, hoping for reconciliation. The repeated offer to 'Call on me baby / If there's anything I can do for you' signifies his willingness to do whatever it takes to mend the relationship. Despite the pain and uncertainty, the protagonist's love remains steadfast, encapsulated in the final, heartrending declaration, 'I'm still in love with you.'

Gary Moore's soulful delivery and the melancholic melody further amplify the song's emotional depth, making 'Still In Love With You' a timeless ballad about the complexities of love and loss.
