(First Light) Loving You

Paul Hardcastle's '(First Light) Loving You' is a heartfelt ode to the transformative power of love. The song captures the overwhelming emotions that come with falling deeply in love for the first time. The repeated phrase 'You blew my mind!' sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the profound impact the beloved has had on the narrator's life. This line suggests a sense of astonishment and wonder, as if the narrator is experiencing something entirely new and life-changing.

The lyrics delve into the narrator's journey from never having been in love to being completely captivated by their partner. Lines like 'I've never been in love before / Never really known the score' highlight the narrator's previous inexperience with love, making the arrival of this new relationship even more significant. The metaphor of love 'blowing the mind' conveys a sense of being overwhelmed and enchanted, as if the narrator's world has been turned upside down in the best possible way.

As the song progresses, the narrator expresses a deep sense of commitment and security in their newfound love. Phrases such as 'The promises that I planned / Are gonna be for sure' and 'I'm always gonna be around / Enjoying all the love I found' reflect a desire for a lasting and meaningful relationship. The repetition of 'Loving you / Is all I do' underscores the narrator's devotion and single-minded focus on their partner. This song beautifully captures the essence of falling in love and the joy of finding someone who truly changes your life for the better.
