Annotations and Meaning:

Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" almost sets the paradigm for disco and electronic music. The repetitive, hypnotic beats and the ethereal quality Summer placed within her vocals almost feel otherworldly in experiencing what one could only describe as the feeling of overwhelming love.
The lyrics are simple but very strong and almost transcendental in feeling. "It's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good" brilliantly reflects the feeling of absolute euphoria from falling in love, while with "Heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows," one points out that perhaps the love is just too much, and possibly it's too deep for things to go wrong.

The repeating of "I feel love, I feel love, I feel love" in the song keeps the trance going and, if anything, bids the listeners sink into the feeling being described over any actual performance. Yoking simple words to complex layering of electronic sounds, they create something timeless that speaks to the universal and timeless qualities of love.

Lines such as "Fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free" and "You and me, you and me, you and me" would give one the notion that there is an unguarded freedom and unity together in love, which reflects the infinite and unifying truth characterizing real emotional closeness.

"I'll get you, I'll get you, I'll get you" mixed with "What you do, what you do, what you do" would be a playful, loving chase that rings of just such a relationship: both parties very active, deeply interested in the other.

This could express images of very powerful feelings, celebrations, or scenes of the change of nature on the threshold of very powerful change in the context of "Rest in Peace." This would tap energy emanating from the song to deepen the emotional depth of the account.
