about

This song was recorded in one take in a very cold room in Mountain View California. It's a song about what love isn't, and what love is.

lyrics

The things that I bought, that I kept for myself
All the money I spent, for the things on the shelf
They get washed away clean in a handful of years
But love stands

Some hearts they get lost in the lanes of the dead
And the others go sour for silver or lead
And I think to myself 'Am I just like them?'
But love lives

Go, go back now, before you get lost in the hubris of man
And your love pulls away
Then you will be like the sounding of gongs
Love springs eternal

You pine for a place where the world knows your name
In the process you lose all semblance of shame
And in twenty five years, they build banks on your grave
But love hides

Show me a king, a champion or bard
From before our soft time, when life was still hard
Who we still hold in praise, devoid of critique
But love speaks

Go, go back now, before you get lost in the hubris of man
And your love pulls away
Then you will be like the sounding of gongs
Love springs eternal
