"Almost Like Being In Love" Lyrics
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
(Just) Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
(Just) Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
(Just) Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
(Just) Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love

Music Analysis
Bloomdido: This song is all instrumental, there are no lyrics and is 3:26 long. This song shows influence from the events of the 1950s. For one, the song is upbeat and lively, which could be seen as an attempt to relieve people of tensions and fears from the multiple wars and from the Red Scare. What this shows about the people of the 1950s is that they liked to listen to music that could be danced to or enjoyed.
Almost Like Being in Love: The beat to this song seems really happy and lifting. The lyrics of the song attempt to describe the kind of feeling the singer has, he sings that the mood he's in is "almost like being in love." I guess this means that even though so much was going on at the time, the people who weren't so concerned with world affairs or even the U.S. affairs, were able to express happiness to the max. Or maybe they were happy because of the fact that the United States was the most influential economic power after World War 2. All the money circulating and whatnot made them happy.
Round Midnight: This song is calming for the most part, it has some faster, surprising parts, but for the most part, the song is slow and chill. It sounds like something you'd hear on a rainy day. Aside from all the liveliness expressed in the other two songs, this song seems to be expressing a kind of melancholy possible stemming from the knowledge of world and national affairs. This song could be used to show that not all people were happy with economic power or war power.
