Making love out of nothing at all chords
So in the beginning he's saying he knows all the right things to do to get her sympathy, attention, how to physically love her, he knows how to make it big in life but doesn't know how to get her to stay with him and their last night together is make or break it scenario and his final plea. He's saying I don't get how you can “make love” (not just to have sex) and say she loves him but leave him so easily and treat their relationship like its nothing at all. He's just in complete shock that she claims to love him but is willing to throw it away. He's saying she's all these things to him and can't find a way to leave her but won't give up his own dreams. She doesn't support him, she won't go and tells him that she's not going to be there when he comes back. This dude completely loves this girl and can't live without her and wants her to go on the road with him. General CommentOk so I used to think this song was about an unrequited love and it kinda is but after watching the video and reading the lyrics again here's what it is. The song was originally written for Meat Loaf, who would have been powerhouse, but theres something really haunting about the Air Supply vocals that just makes the song. Also, sort of a different sound for Air Supply, but it works. Anyway, whatever it means, the lyrics are really cool and Jim Steinman sure can write and produce the hell out of a love ballad. I used to think he was saying he could go through the motions of a relationship like a pro, but in the end, he couldn't force himself to fall in love, but now I don't think so. And he can do all kinds fancy maneuvers in the relationship with aplomb, but in the end, he can't force them to take the risk if they don't want to or don't believe they deserve it. He doesn't understand why they're willing to compromise themselves or their happiness like that, whereas he's willing to put it on the line. General CommentI've always been perplexed by the title of this song, but now the way I hear it is sort of along the lines of that the person he's singing to is unable or unwilling to commit further, so what they have is "nothing at all" compared to what it could be. This is the night he's decided to reveal his feelings to her. She's a totally different creature than he is making love out of nothing at all, she follows her heart while he follows his head. Despite everything he's capable of he needs her, she's his one weakness and he doesn't understand how she can love a person like him as much as she does, he is in awe of it, she's stolen his heart. This woman loves him and he realizes that he needs her and he needs her love. I think this is a song about a man who's capable of anything, he's very James Bond like but that also means that he has a lot of characteristics which he isn't so proud of, he lies, he manipulates, he has a way with women and men alike, and he can be cold hearted in the process but this time he has met one woman who has really effected him.
I find this song very romanic, possibly one of the most romantic love songs, this man is pouring his heart out to this woman for the first time and the song is exactly what he says to her. General CommentAt first I thought this song was about a woman who had played a guy who had been a player but he started to fall in love with her but I've changed my mind. I can make you every promise that has ever been made I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know You can take the darkness at the pit of the nightĪnd turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright The beating of my heart is a drum, and it's lost Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at allĮverytime I see you all the rays of the sun areĪnd every star in the sky is taking aim at I know all the rules and then I know how to break 'em And I'm never gonna tell you everything I've gotta tell you
