Waiting for Love - Sergio Mendes & Brazil 77

Details

Description

"Waiting for Love" from Sergio Mendes & Brazil '77's album Vintage 74 is a standout track that embodies the fusion of Brazilian rhythms with smooth pop and jazz elements.

The song "Waiting for Love" by Randy McNeill seems to convey a deep sense of longing and self-reflection. The narrator expresses a recurring pattern of waiting for love but retreating when it arrives, suggesting a fear of vulnerability. The references to the rain and dreams evoke a sense of fleeting moments and missed opportunities, symbolizing love that comes and goes, often without being fully embraced.

The message of the song centers on the emotional conflict of desiring love but being afraid to engage in it fully. The narrator reflects on a cycle of yearning for connection but ultimately pulling away, driven by fear of intimacy or getting hurt. There's a tone of regret, as if the singer fears spending their whole life waiting for something they are not yet ready to accept.

In essence, it's a meditation on the struggle between the desire for love and the fear of being vulnerable, and how that internal conflict can lead to a sense of missed opportunities and emotional distance.


Bonnie Bowden - vocal


Was it something in the rain
Or a chance of love again
That made me explain
The secrets of my soul
I guess i only needing
Someone to hold
But I was gone without a trace
And the rain blew away

And it seems I've spent my whole life
Waiting for love
And when it comes
I always run away

(Adlib)

Was it something in the rain
Or the chance of love again
that made me explain
the secrets of my soul
I guess I only needed someone to hold
for I was gone without a trace
when the rain blew away

(chorus)

And it seems I've spent my whole life
waiting for love
and when it comes I always run away

Was it something from a dream
that touched my memory
or a picture I didn't know I'd seen
that made me stop and stare
and then I lost him if he was ever there
'Cause I'm afraid of being close
where I need to be the most

And it seems I've spent my whole life
waiting for love
and when it comes I always run away

And I'm afraid I'll spend my whole life
waiting for love
'Till my last day has come to run away

Composer: Randy McNeill
