About And So Is Love

"And So Is Love" is a song written and recorded by musician Kate Bush. It was the fourth and final single release from the album The Red Shoes. Guest star Eric Clapton plays guitar on the track. The Hammond organ is by Gary Brooker of Procol Harum. Released on 7 November 1994, the single climbed to number 26 in the UK Singles Chart. Its entry into the Top 40 marked Bush's first appearance on Top of the Pops in eight years. The lyric is about the end of a love affair, with the narrator declaring that both life and love are sad, and deciding that for the "sake of love," the two must set each other free. "Eat the Music" also appears on the UK "And So Is Love" CD single, in the same version as on the 12-inch single featured on the U. S. CD and cassingle. Additionally, there is a third version, the so-called "Extended Mix" which appears on the European and Australian singles, and which is actually 12 seconds shorter than the LP mix.

And you ah?  You do ah? 

We let it in,  we give it out. 
And in the end, what's it all about? 
It must be love. 

I give you my, I give you my 
You give me your, you give me your joy. 

We used to say "Ah Hell, we're young" 
But now we see that life is sad. And so is love. 
(Ooh baby live your life for love) 
(Ooh baby live your life for love) 

We used to say "Ah Hell, we're young" 
But now we see that life is sad. And so is love. 
(Ooh baby for the sake of love) 
(Ooh baby for the sake of love) 

And whatever happens, what really matters? 
It's all we've got, isn't that enough? 
(Life is sad and so is love). 

You let it slip, you let it slip. 
(Life is sad and so is love) 

I love you more, I love you more for it.
(Life is sad and so is love)

Oh yeah, oh you too. 
(Life is sad and so is love) 

All for love. 
(Life is sad and so is love)
Just for the sake of love. 
(Life is sad and so is love) 
You set me free, I set you free. 
(Life is sad and so is love)
