BROTHERS IN ARMS by Richard Harvey & Friends (2024)

It's a time of beginnings. it was dark as night
I was standing alone when you walked into the light
I had eyes for you only
See, I'd almost died from lonely
But from our first kiss I knew that it was right

And it hasn't been easy
We're both strong, slow to give in

Compromise and desire
Words burn like fire
You kiss me, my world starts to spin
You're in my arms again

There were others before you
Sweet temptation, dancing and wine
They were never as real as they seemed at the time

And it hasn't been easy
We're both strong, slow to give in
Compromise and desire
Words burn like fire
You kiss me, my world starts to spin
You're in my arms again

Talking, loving, by the fire under the stars
Time could stop and the world could end
As long as I'm there where you are
And you're in my arms again

I know you've had lovers
Babe, their ghosts are just like old friends

And I hope they're smiling when you're in my arms again
Cause nothin else ever mattered, you're in my arms again

The song "Brothers In Arms" by Richard Harvey and Friends appears to be about a romantic relationship that has had its share of challenges but has withstood the test of time. The first verse speaks of a new beginning where the singer had almost given up on finding love before meeting their partner. From the first kiss, they knew that it was right. The second verse acknowledges the presence of temptation and past lovers but asserts that what they have is real and nothing else matters.

The chorus emphasizes the difficulty of the relationship in terms of compromise and desire, and the power of the physical connection between the two. The bridge describes a moment of pure happiness, where everything else fades away except for the person they are with. The last verse acknowledges the past but suggests that these experiences have led to a deeper connection with the partner.
