about

Deadline: Wed 6th May 2020

Stereo mix (there are two mixes of this song with different production choices. This is the stereo mix.)

I love songs that have one repeated positive word as the chorus... The Happy Song by The Aliens, The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song by Flaming Lips... this is my version. The word 'love' could be anything. It's an abstract statement of unadulterated joy and how feeling like that can lead to more. Happiness is hard fought and when it feels like it can perpetuate itself, that is a small helping hand that I will gladly take.

I'd originally wanted it to have a more manic upbeat energy to it, really reach for those exuberant exclamations... but it ended up getting softer and softer. Clearly 160bpm wasn't fast enough!

lyrics

Love luv love luv love luv love luv love
Love luv love luv love luv love luv love

What began as a trickle
Has become tidal wave
Brace your face for impact
A great big splash, as the waters come crashing on you

If You want love then you’ve got to give love
Love’s a thing that you have got to dream of

You were facing the sky
And I would face the sea
We are the architects of our own happiness
O boy O boy! This Joy begets more joy

Love luv love luv love luv love luv love
Love luv love luv love luv love luv love

We were stuck inside the night time
And we turned it into day
You know how to illuminate don't you?
You put your lips together and glow

If You want love then you’ve got to give love
Love’s a thing that you have got to dream of

Love luv love luv love luv love luv love
Love luv love luv love luv love luv love LUV
