Song Meaning of “Fly Me To The Moon” by Chita Rivera
This song speaks of the desire to leave everything behind and to go to the kind of place where you can start anew – a place as far away and magical as the moon. The beauty of the moon is that it offers a chance at transformation and a different perspective on the world. As Chita Rivera sings, “In other words, hold my hand, in other words, baby, kiss me,” she is not just asking for love – but an escape away from the day-to-day worries and a new adventure. As she sings, “Take me to the stars and, let me see what life is like on Jupiter and Mars,” it is clear that this journey is meant to be an internal one – a journey of self-growth and exploration. At the end of the song, she sings that the goal of this journey is to be “blessed” with what she finds. She is going to the moon in search of a new way of living, and it will bring her inner peace and joy.
