Soul Love Lyrics

Well, I disagree with what most people here think of this song. To me, it always seemed that this was about how the occidental culture always puts its idea of "love" everywhere. Love is just another built concept that we use to interpretate our world. Seen with the eyes of an outsider, love is everywhere and its everything but at the same time it is many thing and nothing. I hope i can make myself clear... anyway, that's the way i like to see it.

My Interpretation

You are the closest. It's about being in love with the idea of love, but at the same time realising that it is indefinable and has multiple manifestations. D Bowie :)

@aquarella I like your interpretation. Love gets young men killed in defense of a slogan, love moves people powerfully to do many things, we presume that God is made of love, but love is not really on our on our side in every instance.
