Love Song

Haunt's 'Love Song' is a heartfelt ode to enduring love and the resilience of a relationship through life's ups and downs. The song opens with a sense of optimism and confidence in the strength of the bond between the singer and their partner. The lyrics, 'This morning I woke up singing about love / My thought was no one had anything on us,' convey a deep sense of contentment and pride in their relationship. Despite the challenges they face, symbolized by 'ten steps backwards,' they remain ahead, suggesting that their love is strong enough to overcome any obstacles.

The chorus reinforces the theme of eternal togetherness, with lines like 'You and I will always be together / Even when the winters turn to falls.' This imagery of changing seasons represents the passage of time and the inevitable changes that come with it, yet the couple's love remains constant. The repetition of 'we will always' emphasizes the unwavering nature of their bond, even when they are 'broken down and done.' This suggests that their love is not just a fleeting emotion but a deep, enduring connection that can withstand the test of time.

In the second verse, the singer shares a poignant moment of finding solace and divine presence in the mundane act of smoking a cigarette. This moment of revelation, 'I sang to my beloved that I found god / Smokin' a cigarette, laughing, at the other end of the couch,' highlights the idea that love and spirituality can be found in everyday moments. The partner's response, 'no hearts are breakin' round here / Power beyond your control will make this clear,' suggests a sense of faith and trust in the strength of their relationship. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of their enduring love, 'we will always have a song,' symbolizing that their love will continue to be a source of joy and inspiration, no matter what challenges they face.
