The Rapture

Love Is All

Label: Vertigo Release Date: 09/02/2004

5503
George by George February 2nd, 2004

Rather a surprise single this, after the punka-disco delight of 'House of Jealous Lovers', 'Love is All' sees youthful Tom Baker-alike singer Luke Jenner in a more philosophical mood.

If '...Jealous Lovers' was a song to throw your best shapes to during the course of the evening, 'Love is All' is the sound of Friday night post-pub street karaoke; all boozy drums, slurred riffs, unselfconscious vocals and cowbell.

As one of the last songs on album 'Echoes', this song makes perfect sense; a soaring, stumbling end to a night on the sauce. Out of context it’s a little like arriving in time for last orders and wondering why everyone else is drunk already. But as a little taste of The Rapture it’ll show you some of what you’ve been missing.
