The Kiss (International Songwriting Competition - ISC)
The idea of ‘phantom’ love, or feeling a love so deep even though the loved one is no longer physically there. This feeling of lingering emotion or love can be a natural part of grieving. A familiar presence, scent, or sound in the quietness of loss. Perhaps not having ‘closure’ when someone passes away, but yet a transformation of the emotional bond to a memory so real you can feel it.
As written in the song’s chorus:
‘She still feels the kiss She still sees the stars She says she’s never stopped falling in love
You can see it in her eyes you can hear it in her voice
After all those years together – what she loves the most
is the kiss
She still feels the kiss
