"Unchained Melody" Quotes

Context

This line is from the song "Unchained Melody," as made famous by The Righteous Brothers on the album Just Once in My Life (1965).

Has anyone seen a loving feeling around here? This song is about someone pining for their far-away love.

You know you're pining hardcore if you're asking God to speed someone's love to you. Seriously, maybe you should take the pining down a notch.

Let's work on world peace before we get to your romantic issues, okay? Cool.

Where you've heard it

Remember that time your parents bought a pottery wheel because it would be "so fun to make pottery"? Remember how they actually only used it to recreate the scene from Ghost for thirteen weeks straight? That's probably where you've heard this line.

It's also probably the reason why pottery wheels, Demi Moore, and any mention of lonely rivers flowing to the sea still give you the shudders.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

If someone drops this quote in reference to their pining problem, then they'll probably get a few eye-rolls. If they drop it in reference to Ghost, they won't get eye-rolls, but they will get a barely contained shudder from you and any other members of the Ghost support group in the room.

Stay strong. The party won't last long. After all, time goes by so slowly, but time can do so…oops. Sorry—you can come out from under the table; we won't quote it again.
