Song Meaning of “Longing” by Thomas Blug
“Longing” by Thomas Blug speaks to the universal human experience of unrequited love. In the verses, he plaintively reflects on the intense emotions he feels as he gazes into the eyes of the beloved who remains elusive and distant to him. He captures this painful process of lost love with a combination of longing, fragile hope and heartache.
The chorus captures the longing and yearning of the verses with the plea, “So don’t let me go, don’t let me go, don’t let me go…” reminding us all that in times of sorrow, we look to the most sacred thing of all, to not be left alone in our misery.
The bridge brings out a sense of resilience and strength as he shares his willingness to continue on his journey and take the necessary risks to make it through. He reminds us all that, despite the hurt, we have the power to find the courage to continue on our paths and embrace the pain that comes with it.
The song ends on a hopeful note as he concludes with a prophetic statement of the journey begins now, as if to say to us all, in the end, what matters most is our strength in never giving up.
