The Kind Of Love We Make

Luke Combs' 'The Kind Of Love We Make' is a sultry ballad that delves into the desire for deep, intimate connection with a partner. The song speaks to the universal longing for moments of closeness and the importance of nurturing a romantic relationship. Combs, known for his rich, resonant voice and blending of traditional country with modern elements, sets the scene for a night of passion and connection, away from the distractions of the world.

The lyrics suggest a couple that has been caught up in the busyness of life, 'burnin' both ends,' and proposes a deliberate pause to rekindle their connection. The repeated invitation to 'cancel our plans' emphasizes the priority of their relationship over other commitments. The imagery of 'candles burning' and 'records turning' evokes a sense of nostalgia and romance, creating an atmosphere conducive to intimacy. The 'lights down low' and the slow pace suggest a deliberate savoring of each other's presence, a contrast to the fast-paced nature of everyday life.

Throughout the song, the physical and emotional aspects of love are intertwined, with the act of making love being both a literal and metaphorical 'writing of our love song.' The repeated lines 'Girl, I want it, gotta have it' and 'Let the passion take us to a higher place' convey a deep yearning for not just physical pleasure, but also for the transcendent experience that comes from a profound emotional bond. Combs captures the essence of a love that is both grounded in the physical and elevated by the emotional, crafting a narrative that resonates with anyone who has experienced the power of a deep romantic connection.
