Jesamine
What am i supposed to do, with a girl like jesamine,
Though my eyes are open wide, she's made
My life a dream
(Chorus)
When jesamine goes, a part of me knows i'm not really living,
A butterfly child, so free and so wild
And so full of living
When jesamine stays, though time goes fast,
This is my world at last
Beautiful day's lost in her eyes,
But then the whole world dies
(Chorus)
When jesamine goes, a part of me knows
I'm not really living
A butterfly child, so free and so wild
And so full of living
What can you say, when a girl doesn't want to know
She's too far away, and she makes my life a dream
(Chorus)
When jesamine goes, a part of me knows
I'm not really living
A butterfly child, so free and so wild
And so full of living
When jesamine stays, though time goes fast
This is my world at last
Beautiful day's, lost in her eyes
But then the whole world dies
What am i supposed to do
With a girl like jesamine
Though my eyes are open wide, she made my life a dream
(Chorus)
When jesamine goes a part of me knows
Im not really living... fades...
About This Song
"Jesamine" is a dreamy, melancholic pop ballad that captures the intoxicating yet painful experience of loving someone who embodies freedom and unpredictability. The song explores the narrator's emotional dependency on the titular Jesamine, described as a "butterfly child" whose presence transforms his world into something magical, but whose absence leaves him feeling incomplete and not truly living. Musically, it features the gentle, harmony-rich sound typical of late 1960s British pop, with soft vocals and a wistful melody that perfectly complements the bittersweet lyrics. The central theme revolves around the paradox of loving someone whose very nature-wild and free-means they cannot be possessed or controlled, creating a cycle of ecstasy and despair. This track stands as a poignant example of how pop music of the era could capture complex emotional states, blending romantic idealization with the recognition of love's inherent vulnerability.
