![]() ![]() Perhaps the singer should have broken up with the woman, but it’s honestly the forgiveness and love that he has for her that he still stands by. I don't wanna sleep, I just wanna keep on lovin' you)Īlso the bit about her being “coiled up and hissin’) is probably how she had been defensive and lying about her cheating. When I said that I love you I meant that I love you forever The singer then affirms that he still loves the woman despite all this. It might also allude to the couple’s relationship having been longer than any of said woman’s conquests. He has long since forgiven her, and they have apparently maintained their relationship. The singer is a man who is in a relationship with a woman who has either cheated on him, or slept around a lot.īaby, way before them, and we're still together) I know these lyrics have been interpreted by lots of people already, but I think of the lyrics this way: There is nothing in the world he would rather do more, than that, to love her, forever, and ever. He is showing her what the two of them are made of, that reltionships like their's did not grow on trees, but were truly meant to be.(hey that rhymed)Īnd even after all that, the growing pains and hurt, they're TOGETHER Or simply put, "chooses" not to remember eg. He goes straight to it now, he tells her he knows, and yet metaphorically doesnt remember, She hoped that the suspicions would quickly pass over "lay still in the grass"Īnd also, stayed on the defensive, arguing with him perpetually so on so forth maybe also because of her guilty conscious. Right, this part of the song, shows how inconsistent her stories were,and that he kinda had a gut feeling she wasn't giving him the whole picture , This basically plays on the fact that he was really hurt by her actions, and she didnt realise just, by how much. "You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby I'll be the first to explain this damn song properly, finally.īasically what this song means, is in fact, about his girl cheating on him(in reports Kevin Cronin lead vocals), but he still, and WILL continue to love and be with her. Okay, for all you folks out there who want an in depth meaning to the song, well lucky fer yewww Hope I didn't ruin that 80's classic for everyone. ![]() ![]() Oh, and SPOILER ALERT he still puts up with it while not getting any) (Wait, now this bitch is cheating? You best be joking ******. (tl dr no matter how much shit this girl gives this poor guy he still wants to be with her for god knows what reason) (Taking it a little to far my sexually deprived friend. (Wait, now this bitch is cheating? You best be joking **. (Okay, now think about this one.still thinking? Okay, now shes basically telling him "sorry, not tonight, I'm on my period" and still continues to bitch at him over nothing) (She doesn't really give a damn what he has to say to her) You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe (He thought she was the one to truly complete him SPOILER ALERT HE WAS WRONG) You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby It was truly a miracle.As lovely as this song may seem, if you listen to it close enough, its about a loser who can't get over some girl who screwed around one too many times. I still remember it as that heartfelt little song I wrote in the middle of a long night, which came to life the next afternoon. I had no idea that ‘Keep on Loving You’ would take us on such a wild ride. “When you first write a song, you have no idea where that song will go. I love that first Fogelberg album, and still play it often.”Ĭronin said he never could have predicted what that song would do for the band, which had already released five albums with Cronin out front. I would sneak in and listen as Dan was cutting tracks with Norbert and his band of Nashville cats. We were making REO/TWO at CBS Studios in Nashville, and Fogelberg was recording his first album down the street at Norbert Putnam’s Quadraphonic Studio. “Dan and REO were both managed by Irving Azoff, who would go on to rule the world. “That foreverrrr was actually me channeling Danny Fogelberg,” he said. But none come to mind at the moment.”Ĭronin’s Chicago accent was at the fore on this tune, especially when he sang the line When I said that I loved you, I meant that I love you foreverrrr. That likely got the attention of other rock bands who were having difficulty getting their records played on Top 40 radio. ‘Keep on Loving You’ is often credited with being the first ‘power ballad,’ but I suspect there were others before it. All I know is our record went to number one on the Billboard charts, and put REO Speedwagon on the map. As far as being as power ballad pioneer, Cronin doesn’t necessarily want to take full credit. ![]()
