Song Meaning of “Once In A While” by Norbert Susemihl
‘Once In A While’ paints a picture of a bittersweet moment in time, where something has happened that has caused both love and pain simultaneously. The artist speaks of this moment as being a time of reflection, where he can take a step back from the hurt and separation, and think of the good times that have been shared. He has hope that time will heal the hurt and maybe someday they will be reunited and the memory of what happened will be gone.
Time is a powerful thing and it’s stopped the artist in this song from being so consumed with grief. He finds comfort knowing that he and his beloved have created something together and that nothing can take away that memory. He acknowledges that the love was fleeting and will never be the same again, but it was something special.
The artist reflects that even though this moment has caused so much grief, remembering it brings a happiness too. He feels that this moment will stay with him, forever giving him a sense of understanding of what it means to love and lose. In the end, he moves forward knowing that once in a while love does make a way.
