when I feel your love flow through me
Big lover
when I hear you whisper to me
Big lover
when I feel you
You were like every love I've known
spun into one - my mind is blown
You were like all my burnt down dreams redeemed
you know what I mean
Big lover
when I feel your love flow through
Big lover
when I hear your heart speak truly
Big lover!
You were a mystery revealed
a treasure trove too long concealed
You were like all my torn down dreams redeemed
you know what I mean
Big lover
when I feel your love
Big lover
when I feel your love
Big lover
when I feel your love flow through me
Big lover
when I hear you whisper to me
Big lover!
You were like earth and fire to me
you were J-O-Y M-A-G-I-C
You were like all my ripped down dreams redeemed
you know what I mean
Big lover
when I feel your love
Big lover
when I feel your love
Big lover
when I feel your love
I'm alive!
yes, I'm alive!
I'm truly alive
alive!
Big Lover - Waterboys
Released in 1988, 'Big Lover' stands as a defining track in the Waterboys' early discography, showcasing the band's signature blend of indie rock, new wave, and theatrical flair. The song features the distinctive vocal delivery of Mike Scott, characterized by its soaring melody and emotional intensity that became a hallmark of their sound during the mid-to-late 1980s. While often associated with the broader 'A Pagan Place' era, the track was released as a standalone single, highlighting the band's ability to craft memorable, radio-friendly anthems that transcended their experimental tendencies. Its enduring popularity stems from its catchy chorus and the band's ability to fuse pop sensibilities with a more complex, atmospheric production style that influenced countless subsequent indie acts.
