Love Story

Velvet Moon's 'Love Story' is a poignant reflection on the innocence and recklessness of youth, juxtaposed with the wisdom and growth that come with age. The song opens with a nostalgic tone, reminiscing about a time when life felt effortless and exhilarating. The lyrics, 'Nothing ever felt as good / Or as easy, as when we were young,' capture the essence of youthful exuberance and the sense of invincibility that often accompanies it. This period of life is described as a 'pleasure,' highlighting the joy and freedom experienced during those formative years.

As the song progresses, it delves into the complexities of growing up. The lines, 'We were just children / acting like adults, / crazy naive bold and carefree,' underscore the naivety and boldness of youth. The phrase 'kids having kids' suggests a premature leap into adult responsibilities, yet the song marvels at how they managed to navigate these challenges without falling apart completely. This reflection is tinged with a sense of amazement and gratitude, acknowledging the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit.

The latter part of the song shifts to a more reflective and appreciative tone. The lyrics, 'Now they keep us on / speaking terms, we grow and we learn / I have no regrets only forgets,' indicate a sense of acceptance and peace with the past. The mention of 'a big thank you to life, / for giving us sand / When the timing's right / there's no waste land,' suggests that even the difficult times have value and contribute to personal growth. The song concludes with a recognition of life's constant changes and the resilience required to adapt and thrive, encapsulating a journey from youthful recklessness to mature reflection and gratitude.
