Make Love Stay was inspired by Tom Robbin's novel
"Still Life With Woodpecker". (If you check out the liner notes, there's a short notation reading 'For Dr. Robbins and Woodpecker'.) While the book is too complex to go into here, suffice it to say its a love story between two redheads.
As far as love songs go, this is one of my favorites.
So many love songs ramble on about searching for the perfect lover or that first passionate spark. Very few ask "What now?' After that one night of wild love, or even after ten years of marriage, how does one make love stay?
While the song gives no direct answers, it warns mystery is not easily captured and once deceased not easily exhumed. Anyone can get into a one night stand...it takes work to fall in love and make that love stay.
