All My Love

Noah Kahan's 'All My Love' is a poignant reflection on the evolution of a relationship and the enduring nature of love, even as circumstances and people change. The song opens with a casual conversation, suggesting a catch-up between two individuals who have a shared history. The lyrics hint at a distance that has grown between them, with the protagonist's parents speaking in 'two-word sentences,' indicating a sense of discomfort or unfamiliarity that wasn't there before. The mention of 'no winter coat' being able to 'keep out all the cold of your atmosphere' metaphorically describes the emotional distance and chill that has developed in the relationship.

The chorus of the song, with its repeated assurance that 'it's all my love,' emphasizes that despite the changes and the passage of time, the love the singer has for the other person remains unchanged. The phrase 'ain't a drop of bad blood' suggests that there are no hard feelings, and the love is pure and untainted by any negativity. The references to 'pills and the dogs' could symbolize the coping mechanisms or the daily life that the singer is immersed in, yet they remain available and unchanged ('I'm the same as I was') for the other person.

The song also touches on nostalgia, with the singer recalling intimate moments like a kiss and the feel of leather in a car, which are now memories from the past. The line 'Now I know your name, but not who you are' poignantly captures the essence of how people can grow apart, knowing each other superficially but not intimately as they once did. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the message that despite everything, the singer's love remains steadfast.
