Interpretation
The song 'The Best' by
Tina Turner is a powerful declaration of love. The singer expresses her deep feelings for a special person and emphasizes that this person is the best she has ever met - 'You're simply the best, Better than all the rest, Better than anyone, Anyone I've ever met'. She is completely fascinated by this person and hangs on every word they say - 'I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say'. This strong bond is so intense that she would rather die than be separated - 'Don't tear us apart, no, no, no, Baby, I would rather be dead'. In their relationship, she feels safe and loved, she recognizes in the other the star of every night and every day - 'In your heart, I see the star of every night and every day'. Even when the person is gone, she can still feel their presence - 'I can feel you even when I'm alone'. This song is an anthem to love and the connection between two people.
