So today I performed this song for my school, so I figured, "hey, that's a good song, why not write a post about it?" So here I am. Your Love was written by John Spinks, the guitarist and vocalist for The Outfield. Your Love was released in their debut album, Play Deep, which was released in 1986. The song made it to number six on the Billboard Top 100 Tracks, and is their most popular. Something interesting I came across was that the members of the band are opposed to drug use, which I thought stood out, because, well it was the eighties, and they were an English pop rock band. I can see how these lyrics can be interpreted many different ways by the people who listen to them, but this is my interpretation. I believe this is about a guy who's woman is out of town, and he needs someone, so he calls upon someone from his past, maybe someone he's "been" with before. Clearly he still has feelings for her, and he tries to voice his feelings for what he needs. Hearing this song after playing it makes me feel like our band is inadequate, and does them no justice to perform their music.
