Here I am performing one of my songs called, very simply, "Love".
Written about profound heartbreak, it is far away in spirit from my latest single She was an animal, a more upbeat rock song, but it is still a part of me.
I should have called it “Self-love” really. The feeling that I tried to convey here is disillusion, after giving it your all to people who never deserved it. And that one’s precious love should be addressed to oneself first.
Sometimes there are just misunderstandings. But I heard too many stories about some people using betrayal and manipulation to suck the life and light out of others, leaving you broken and in tears, unable to apprehend their cold tactics. Beware if you fall for one of those, the pain is unbelievable.
I wish you protection, healing, and of course…self-love.

Lyrics:
"Love, what I did for it
My darkest hours, what I gave to it
The true desire, the manic fever
The purity of my faith
Love, exquisite torture, I took it all
Every phrase that hurt, every blow in the soul
From reckless people, insignificant
In the end, on the whole
Love, love, love…
Love, so blind I trusted a snake
I stupefied my precious brain
For a golden reflection of me
An ectoplasm
Love, misunderstandings
Disappointing, bitter failure
Inner trash of my nights, my pathetic fights
My masterpieces of decline
Love, love, love…
Love, what a betrayal of the self
Feeling guilty even when
You’re the victim
You’re the loser again
R-e-s-p-e-c-t is all you need to know
No one’s beautiful enough to lose your deepest core
Only you deserve the beauty of your love ,really
Only you deserve the beauty of your love
Of your love, love, love…"
