Too Much Heaven

KLB's song 'Too Much Heaven' delves into the scarcity of love and happiness in the modern world. The chorus poignantly highlights how 'nobody gets too much heaven no more' and 'nobody gets too much love anymore,' suggesting that these precious experiences are becoming increasingly rare and difficult to attain. The metaphors of love being 'as high as a mountain' and 'as wide as a river' emphasize the immense effort required to achieve and maintain these feelings, portraying them as monumental and challenging endeavors.

In the verses, the song shifts to a more personal and intimate perspective. The lyrics describe a deep and enduring love between two people, with lines like 'Got a lot of love in store' and 'Love is such a beautiful thing.' This love is depicted as transformative and eternal, capable of turning 'night to day' and making the world 'a summer day.' The imagery of love flowing through both partners and the idea of seeing 'beyond forever' suggest a connection that transcends time and space, offering a stark contrast to the scarcity mentioned in the chorus.

The song also touches on the idea of love as a guiding light and a source of hope. Phrases like 'You're my life' and 'the light above' indicate that love provides direction and meaning, helping the couple navigate through life's challenges. Despite the overarching theme of love's rarity, the song ultimately celebrates the profound impact that true love can have, making it a 'precious' and 'beautiful thing' that enriches life immeasurably.
