Eighth Record Review since I turned fourty






** most reflective lyrics

"They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say
it works that way
But if it's true
- Why do I love you?
- Why do I love you?"

Question for me becomes :
whether it's "the I" who lacks loving capacity but still love someone??
or whether it's "the you" who has a closed heart but still becomes loved??
well, probably in some way both?!
Anyhow I really recognize the sad situation from my life!!
