Bring Back Love Lyrics
By the year 2,020
I want to look at what we did
So we can stand up all together
Cause we put an end to it
And there'll be no more pointless fighting
No more money running it
Bring back love
Bring back love
Bring back love again
I was standing in a Chapel
It's not something I normally did
But I was broken, a mess
And I had nothing to get
A man put money in my pocket
I just stared straight up and looked at him
He said "Go take it son
You could do much more with it."
And we all could learn from him
Yeah I will never forget what he said
By the year 2,020
I want to look at what we did
So we can stand up all together
Cause we put an end to it
And there'll be no more pointless fighting
No more money running it
Bring back love
Bring back love
Now I was walking down my sidewalk
I just paid my final debt
I see a woman and her son
Yeah they had no place to live
The boy was turning out his pockets
I heard him wish he had a bed
I said "I have some room you could use to get back in."
She said "I'm not sure if I can pay you for this"
That's fine, I'm hoping...

I hope I'm standing here,
With my head held high;
My arms up in the air...

i love that ace wrote this because it's all about making music for the right reasons again. he doesn't want to make it for money or fame. he just wants to do it because of the love of music. hence...bring back love.
I think it's also about the TEN breakup, and how the reasons ifyourebored mentioned kind of led up to it. He doesn't really have any hard feelings, and he just wants to be able to look back on this in a few years with the guys and be proud of what they accomplished as a band, no matter how much money they made (or didn't make.)
ace enders himself said last night that this song was about making music and being in a band for the right reasons, not for the fame or money, but for the fans and the connection between a band and it's fans. aww.
i agree.. all bands out there always end up breaking up bc of money. there's always one person in the band wanting more money. ace is like lennon. he's making music to make music. idonno who the paul was in TEN but some people are just better off making music with people that love to make music. money can't buy love. everyone will realize that sooner or later.

This song perfectly sums up what Ace is about. He makes music because it's what he loves to do. He's not doing it for money. The album this comes off of (The Secret Wars) is available for a free download at the Fuse website, by Ace's choice.
He's one of the only pure musicians out there nowadays.
so this songs obviously about taking the money aspect out of the music industry and is saying we should "bring back love" for music regardless of all that other shit
oh and i also think the second verse is a metaphor or allusion (if either of those are right) to music like in the lyrics the guy helps the people out even though he wont be getting anything in return, and i think thats saying how people should giving there music to people even if they can't have something in return.
"I'm not sure if I can pay you for this" That's fine
those lines show that ace wants others to be making music for the right reasons and if they do so it will be fine if they don't get any money cause thats not why theyre doing it
peace
