Almost Like Being In Love
Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis
What a day this has been, what a rare mood I'm in
Why, its almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face for the whole human race
Why, it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be, like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel, when that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling, I'd swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love, it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be, like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel, when that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love
About Almost Like Being In Love
Johnny Mathis's "Almost Like Being In Love" stands as a quintessential example of the romantic ballad style that defined his career and the broader pop landscape of the 1950s. Recorded in English, the track exemplifies the smooth, crooning vocal delivery that Mathis became synonymous with, blending acoustic piano arrangements with lush orchestration to create an atmosphere of tender intimacy. The song captures the universal sentiment of longing and the bittersweet nature of affection, themes that resonated deeply with audiences during the post-war era. As a staple of Mathis's discography, the recording has been widely reissued and remains a staple on classic love song collections. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic simplicity and the artist's ability to convey deep emotion through subtle phrasing rather than dramatic flair. The composition serves as a timeless representation of mid-century romanticism, influencing countless subsequent vocalists who sought to emulate its polished, heartfelt aesthetic.
