| I absolutely agree with NunoInfo. This song is not about a woman, but of God. The worldly things have taken his main focus, but now he senses there is something missing in his life and that hole can only be filled by God. Gary has recently (past few years) expressed his spirituality more openly, and many people saw Extreme as a power ballady 80s band wannabe, led by an albeit masterful guitarist. Look at the lyrics Gary wrote: they are quite thought-provoking. | |

| This could be interpreted as a spiritual song where the "you" is God. It could be a song reflecting the longing for a true love. To me, Whole Hearted portrays the frustration of looking to an earthly lover (i.e. human being) to satiate one's mortal desire for wholeness that can only be fulfilled by a true connection to the "Source" within our own selves. | |
