‘SWEET SIDE OF LOVE’
sweet side of love
INSPIRATION/INFORMATION:
“Sweet Side Of Love is about celebrating the intimacy and safety of shared love between people. It’s an aggressive song musically, which for me was ‘a spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down’ kind of idea. By itself, the sentiment is naff, but the contrast works. Much like love itself, it’s the hard times that make the Sweet Side Of Love stand out.
This tune came out of a drum sampling session with Mitch Finglas at Love Street Studios. The riff that became this song had been on my finger tips that whole week, so when that main drum groove happened as a loop during that session, it’s as though the song wrote itself. “

LYRICS
sweet side of love
Am I a psychopath?
All I want is more of you wanting me
Come on now baby please
Set me free
The sweet side of love
When you’re coming up
You can’t beat the rush
The sweet side of love
When you can’t get enough
The sweet side of love
Ahh, ooh, ahh
They say time’s the only thing that's ever healed a broken heart
But there’s something to be said for a new love
You’re keeping my heart
Younger than my body feels
Come on now baby please
Keep it up
The sweet side of love
When you’re coming up
You can’t beat the rush
The sweet side of love
When you can’t get enough
The sweet side of love
Why oh why wait til the times just right
Cause now and then are just the same thing
(Ooh)
The sweet side of love
When you’re coming up
You can’t beat the rush
The sweet side of love
When you can’t get enough
(Ooh)
The sweet side of love
(The sweet side of love)
When you can’t beat the rush
Just lean into it
The sweet side of love
(The sweet side of love)
When you can’t get enough
The sweet side of love
The Sweet Side of Love
The Sweet Side of Love
