I Love

Pretty obvious. The band Low does a great version of this song. Reminds me a bit of the way Cowboy Junkies covered "Sweet Jane."

I think Eric Church may have inspired to write "Love Your Love The Most" after hearing this song.

I had an interesting experience with this song about a week ago. I went to do some karaoke at a bar with some friends and there’s this old timer there who flipped out when I did The Race Is On last time—I don’t think he thought a whippersnapper like me would appreciate the classics! So I opted to do this song partly for him and partly because I just love how innocent and pure it is. Well I got started but my voice was already kind of ragged so I had to sing it an octave higher, and it weirdly turned into a big sing-along for the whole room, almost like a drinking song. Honestly it was kind of affecting; after some conversations with different strangers that night it served as a reminder that too many people in this world live hard lives, find joy only in the weekly ritual of excessive drinking, and rarely if ever hear someone sincerely say that they are loved and are deserving of love. To hear all those people in various states of intoxication yelling at the top of their lungs that they love each other is powerful, not gonna lie! I listen to a lot of complicated, difficult music, but sometimes it’s nice to just have a simple reminder that there’s so much in the world to be thankful for and to love.
