This classic track from Golden Earring reflects a metaphoric exploration of the intense connection between lovers, even when physically separated. The protagonist is on a long drive, his journey punctuated by an almost telepathic bond with his distant partner, portrayed as 'Radar Love'. This 'radar love' seems to symbolize an intuitive understanding and deep emotional bond that transcends physical distance and conventional modes of communication. The repeated references to radio songs and the newsman's report indicate the passage of time and a sense of continuity amidst change. The song thus offers an evocative portrayal of enduring love against the backdrop of life's transient moments.
Radar Love
Lyrics
I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air, radar love
The radio is playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speedin' into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort comin' in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a light in the sky, radar love
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh one more radar lover gone
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort comin' in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a light in the sky
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a thing that's called radar love
