Song Meaning of “Love Me Tender – The Afternoon Show, 2012 Mix” by Elvis Presley
Love Me Tender by Elvis Presley is an ode to the fragile beauty of love. It speaks to the vulnerability of trusting someone enough to let them love you and letting yourself love them.
The chorus speaks of this vulnerability plainly and plainly, with the Lyric “Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go,” implying a plea for the love to remain pure and strong, regardless of circumstance.
The verses also speak to the same feeling of dizzy devotion to someone, describing how his heart is aching, how his darling can make him feel so much, and describing how forsaking this love would be unbearable.
It’s a reminder that when we open our hearts to love, we must also open them the possibility of risking it all. Love can bring a beautiful reward, but we must be willing to be vulnerable and take that risk for something more.
