This is an /awesome/ song :D! That the singing is great goes without saying, the music is so catchy, and I like the lyrics a lot too. I mean, the phrase "love is all you need" usually seems blasé and empty, but here it's put in a meaningful context: love is all you need, the only way to realize this is to actually achieve it, to achieve it you must live fully without filters, and doing this requires that you discard all your "defenses", i.e. spooks like fear, insecurity, self-censorship, nervousness etc. I get it, and this touched me quite deeply. (It's a lot easier said than done, though xD) There are many other nuggets in there too. The video is magnificent as well. Christina looks amazing in it, the narrative and direction are very appealing (I must admit, I was on the verge of crying the first time I saw it xE), and there's a moment at 2:40 where song and video combine to make an inexplicably striking impression on me xS.
By the way, I'm pretty sure it's: "Make sure to let down your defenses There's just one way to make you see"
