Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Aren’t You Kind Of Glad We Did?” by Ella Fitzgerald
“Aren’t You Kind Of Glad We Did?” is a classic love song by Ella Fitzgerald released in 1959. In it, the narrator reflects on a newly found relationship, pondering about the joy of it and expressing gratitude for taking a chance and giving it a try. It’s a song of appreciation of the happiness found in taking a chance on new love, one that it looks back on fondly, memories of it reemerging out of the past. Throughout, the song draws from metaphors of adventure, of exploration and travel being “on the brink of glory” in a positive, hopeful way. The message is clear; it encourages listeners to seize the day and take a chance on the things that make us happy, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
