It is Songblague's position that the best love songs are the ones where bitterness and ambiguity, however appropriate, get banished straightaway. Which would seem to put this one right in the wheelhouse. When you spend a full 65% of a 5 minute song locked into a 'love love love' refrain, you're either the most devoted dude in the world, so smitten that no other words come, or you're hijacking the air until your demands are met. I'm not sure this song is such a straight arrow. Maybe there's some ambiguity after all. Unrelatedly, Happy Birthday, B!Teenage Fanclub - Norman 3
