about

L.o.v.e. is a song about, yes, love! The world is rife with animosity, ignorance and hatred, and the only way to combat that is with love. The compositions seeks to spread a little more love around, and to remind people that love can be found in hidden messages sitting right under your eyes (or behind your ears).

In the manner of a mantra, the repetitive rhythm is repeated over and over, creating a trance, with the only word sung being the word 'love', broken down to its essentials, letter by letter. The rhythmic cycle, 17 beats in length, is derived from the Morse code spelling of the word 'love'. It moves through different “movements” to take listeners on a journey of seeing love from different angles and different lenses. Love can show itself in many ways. It is sometimes direct, sometimes confusing, and sometimes it can be lost in chaos, but it persists, and it triumphs.
