Love Is Kind, Love Is Wine

Song Meaning

This track opens with a simple, almost folksy declaration: "Love is kind love is wine." It immediately sets a tone of gentle affection, underscored by the image of "laughter in your eyes." The narrator pledges an enduring love, vowing to love "Till the last flower dies," a poetic, if slightly melancholic, promise of forever. The core of the song seems to be the overwhelming, almost ineffable feeling of new love. The narrator hears "music far away," a common trope for profound emotional experiences, and feels a "feeling oh so new." This sense of wonder and the desire to express it directly leads to the simple act of singing "just for you." The lyrics build on this by emphasizing the all-encompassing nature of this affection. The repeated line "You are everywhere I find in my heart and on my mind" suggests a constant presence, a mental and emotional saturation. The narrator feels they have "Time is all I have time for you," a beautiful inversion that prioritizes the beloved above all else, even time itself. The imagery shifts to grander, more magical comparisons: "You're a sunrise on the sea," "You're a magic carpet ride." These aren't just descriptions; they're attempts to capture the transformative and exhilarating effect of this love. The repetition of the opening lines and the final vow "Till the last flower dies" reinforces the sincerity and depth of this profound, all-consuming affection.
