What does it mean?
realsuga said on September 1, 2005 10:32:
Er.....that Per believes in the church of some girly’s heart? Must be a scientific term;-) .......... ain’t got a clue. Think he’s just being poetic, praising some lass’s brilliance. Bless. Not one of my fave Roxer moments, and agree totally that it was a naff choice of single....I Remember You, Things Will Never or Watercolours or Excited would have fared MUCHO BETTERO

Pfff now i’ve heard it all... all i can say is DUH!! I guess somebody’s been skipping English lessons!
I love this song too!!

Well, my (humble) opinion about this is that “Church Of Your Heart” means something like “to believe in someone’s love like a religion”.
PS: my apologizes to the “english teachers” around this thread, if I did any mistake in my interpretation...

@Emil BG
We shared the same opinion about the meaning:
“Church Of Your Heart” means something like “love as a religious experience” (és una experiencia religiosa - it’s a religious experience).
Sorry, but I’m not the right person to teach someone about spanish phrases, since I don’t speak Spanish (although Portuguese and Spanish are very similar languages)...

I really like this song. Been searching around for ages trying to find a live version of it from Room Service. No luck. Was it good live?
Emil__BG said on September 3, 2005 14:33:

i’m with emil and alexandre, good interpretation!
i like the song myself, especially the harmonica! i think it’s a homage to mr. lennon and company. harmonicas and rickenbackers, clearly a beatles’ influence. i love it!!
cheers,
tam

@Emil
My apologizes if my words sounded agressive... That’s not my intention...

@Alexandre & Emil: “Es” is never with an accent (“És”) in Spanish :P
gyllene_tjej said on September 3, 2005 17:45:
the harmonica coupled with Per’s heart-warming voice really makes my heart melt and turns COYH into my life’s favourite Roxette song :)
Emil__BG said on September 3, 2005 18:01:
alexandre100 –no probs ;-)
Santi-you will be my teacher until Milena comes back :-))

Its not a bad song i suppose, but certainly not one of my favourites. Its very “Per” would probably be the best way to describe it and it certainly shouldnt have been a single...they should have stuck with (Do you get) excited? or Hotblooded.
As for the meaning, he is using religion as a metaphor. Its nothing to do with religion as such, but just comparing the experience of falling in love to someone having a faith in God. Believing in the person you are in love with, being devoted to them, living your life for them, etc

One quote:
“It’s not they way he BELIEVES IN YOU LIKE A RELIGION” (from small talk)
Yea, a church is someone where you go to worship a religion
of your heart is of someone’s heart
So he believes in her like a religion. I think it was already said, but I thought the quote was interesting from Small talk. :D and it’s on the same album too!
