Taken from the album ‘Whenever You Need Somebody’ – deluxe 2CD and digital deluxe out 6th May 2022 Pre-order here – There, I deciphered the lyrics for you all!The official video for “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley The purpose of this line is probably just musical and not lyrical and should not be interpreted as the woman being willing to give up the man. Interestingly, there is the line "Ooh give you up" in the breakdown section, sung by a female voice. Now that the singer has opened up, he believes that this love interest will develop to a romantic/erotic relationship, as in to "play" the "game" of romance. "We know the game and we're gonna play it" Here, the singer suspects that they both already know that the romantic interest is mutual. "Inside we both know what's been going on" The singer assumes that the love interest has also had feelings towards the singer, but has not admitted them due to shyness or fear of rejection. The singer and the love interest have known each other for some time. "We've known each other for so long/Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it" The singer intends to be honest to the love interest and not hurt her(/him?) physically nor emotionally. The singer most definitely might say "goodbye" as a, just not farewell for good. "Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye"Īgain not literal, at least the "say goodbye" part. This shouldn't be taken literally the singer just means he intends to never leave the love interest. Artist: Rick AstleyTitle: Never Gonna Give You UpDifference with original: nothing but the quality of audio and video.all rights belong to their respective o. Pretty straightforward, if you know that the "you" in this song refers to the love interest. "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down" The singer has maybe never proclaimed his true feelings, or at least the love interest has not fully understood his intentions. "I just want to tell you how I'm feeling/Gotta make you understand" The singer is ready to fully commit to the love interest in a way he believes nobody else would. "A full commitment's what I'm thinking of/You wouldn't get this from any other guy" "We're no strangers to love/You know the rules and so do I"īoth the singer and the love interest have experienced love before ![]() The singer is definitely singing this for a love interest of his. it's surely to have a power level of over. Astley and thank him for giving us a fantastic internet meme that we (and the other 18 million Americans who have been Rickrolled thus far) can laugh about for many months to come, until we latch onto the next hilarious icon. Now, as I said, "Never Gonna Give You Up" is not exactly poetry, but if you actually break the instrumentals of the song down, you can find some composition that is quite complex and intriguing beneath all of that synth pop. So what did he do? He dropped his record company, got himself a freelance agent and started writing his own tunes. Left and right he had people telling him what to do, how to dress, how to act, and what songs to sing, but to little avail. Back in the 1980's, Rick put out several records that never so much as saw air time on the radio, never mind MTV video circulation. For all the guff that the man gets, he was way ahead of his time in his frame of mind. ![]() The beats and synths (not to mention the chorus of black women in the background) make this tune a generic recycling of eighties pop that could never stand the test of time in the gauntlet of teenage musical enthusiasts. This song has lyrics that are so sugary sweet and horrible for you that it just makes your teeth rot directly out of your head (much like the beloved Charleston Chew). (Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up) Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
