Song Meaning of “Rebound” by Charlie Rich
‘Rebound’ by Charlie Rich tells the heartbreaking story of a man who has been left by his lover. He reflects on the memories of the time they spent together, and all the things he thought he would have when they were together. He wonders why his lover left him, and why she chose someone else over him. He’s in an emotional state of limbo, stuck between the hope that she will come back to him and the despair that she won’t. Despite his heartache, he’s determined to move on and rebuild himself, to be stronger for the next time. He’s determined to rebound from this pain and find happiness again.
He sings of a longing for a new pupose in his life, for something to give him purpose and direction once more. He longs for a new direction, where he can re-establish his sense of self and his place within the world. Even in his brokenness, he’s determined to take it as a learning experience and be the best version of himself that he can. He won’t let his heart break mave him back into the little corner of his life – instead, he’ll rise from the ashes, rebuild his life, and be ready for whatever comes next.
