Glenn Miller - Romance Runs in the Family

Copied!

Romance runs in the family
So, honey, what can I do?
My Ma's romantic, my Pa's romantic
And I'm that way about you...

Romance runs in the family
Itâ€˜s always played a big part
For generations we've been sensations
In all affairs of the heart

Everyone of our descendants down through the centuries
Gave away their independence for moments like these

And that's the reason
Romance runs in the family
So honey, what do you say?
My folks would like it
If we could strike it
The same sweet way!

Song Description

edit description

"Romance Runs in the Family" by Glenn Miller paints a picture of a deeply ingrained romantic disposition that courses through his family's generations. From the outset, we are introduced to the narrative where the singer confesses that being romantic is an inherited family trait, his mother and father being romantics, and he too is so inclined towards his beloved.

Throughout the song, it is emphasized that romance has been a significant part of his family's lineage, making them sensations in all affairs of the heart. There is a reflection on the historical lineage of their ancestors, who surrendered their independence for moments filled with love and romantic emotion.

The central message of the song is the idea that romance is something that runs in the family, and now the singer is inviting his sweetheart to join in this long-standing tradition. He suggests that their relationship could be the continuation of this grand tale of romantic feelings, enjoying "the same sweet way" of love and affection that his forebearers did.
The song is, in essence, a lyrical testament to the belief that love and romance are values that can be passed down from generation to generation, maintaining family traditions, and forging new loving memories.

Biography

edit bio

Alton Glenn Miller (1904-1944) was perhaps the most popular big-band musician of his time. A trombonist from an early age, Miller got on with such outfits as Nat Shilkret’s All-Star Orchestra and The Dorsey Brothers. In 1938, he founded his own band in New York and developed a distinctive sound, landing a record deal that year with Bluebird Records. Regular appearances on radio shows and films gave him additional exposure. When America entered World War II, he joined the war effort and founded a large marching band with the U.S. Army, determined to modernize the military’s music. In 1944, his airplane disappeared over the English Channel on a flight to Paris.
