When i was walking recently with my 3 months old daugther in a wrap these words suddenly came to my mind: Before you, My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing. I remember when 1th time i have watched this video i though it was about the couple love, but the end with baby in the back destroyed the system. It was genius. 10 years ago I was impressed by the lyrics and finale of this video, currently as a mother I can feel the single word of this song in my heart. Unconditional love ❤️

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it's even about both couple and mother love. Like, the love she has with her partner is what lead to her becoming a mom. Because it says "before you". And it could be before meeting her partner or before having a baby. Hmmm.... I really wonder. The baby in the sling really makes it seem like she's talking about mother love. I agree with that. I just wonder if it's mother love via meeting her partner. Hmmm... Could it be both?
