I started off this song with the thought of writing a song about all the things love isn't - I put out a call on Twitter for suggestions, and got a few back. A bit of that idea still stays in the first verse. Lyrcially, I found myself thinking about 1 Corinthians 13 - often called "The Love Chapter" in the Bible. If you've been to more than a few church weddings, you've probably heard it a number of times.

Regardless of whether you call yourself a Christian or not, if you take this chapter seriously, it's a really powerful, really challenging description of what it means to love someone. It's easy to skip over some of these words without asking the tough questions. How patient am I? How kind? How proud? How self-seeking, self serving? How do you "keep no record of wrongs"? Have I lost the love that gives meaning to all the other stuff? Answers on a postcard, please.

A band called "The Beatles" (whatever happened to them?) once wrote "all you need is love", and it's easy to sing that when you're in an easy place and life feels great. I love those times, but sometimes we find that it's love that holds us together when things get tough, puts us back on our feet and gives us the strength to move on.

Musically, I think this was probably the hardest song to get right - my original guitar part was a sort of meandering affair that was impossible to play in time, but it had a quality to it that was difficult to replicate with some of the straighter things we tried. In the end I took one of the dead straight acoustic parts and reversed it to create this kind of pad sound with a bit of movement to it and that seemed to tie together the different elements.

Highlights for me are Mark's piano playing, and Hannah's harmony vocal which really captures the emotion of the song.

Have a listen:
