Whatever word i say i will

In 2004, Robert Smith told Rolling Stone:

I wrote ‘Love Song’ for Mary, my wife, as a wedding present, and I put it on the album to be kind of romantic. I thought it was the weakest song on there, and suddenly it went to Number Two in America. It was kept off the top by, like, Janet Jackson. I thought, ‘Of all the songs I’d written, this is the one that … cracks through.’ It was quite disappointing.

Smith shared in 1989:

That one song, I think, hinges the whole Disintegration album and makes many people think twice. If that song wasn’t on the record, it
would be very easy to dismiss the album as having a certain mood. But throwing that one in sort of upsets people a bit because they think, ‘This doesn’t fit.’ It’s taken me 10 years to reach the point where I feel comfortable singing
a very straightforward love song. In the past,I’ve always felt a last-minute need to disguise the sentiments or put a twist on them. It’s actually one of the most difficult songs I’ve had to sing. It’s an open show of emotion. It’s not trying to be clever. And it’s difficult to do because you run the risk of being laughed at .I realized that while we were recording it.

In 1991, Smith shared his opinion of the song’s music video:

I was disappointed with the video. The idea was of a fairy cave going on forever, but it looked very cramped and posed. The opening shot is terrible, this lingering shot of a huge phallus that makes no pretensions to be a stalagmite at all.

Keyboardist Roger O’Donnell once shared:

The biggest surprise of the album was the success of “Lovesong”. We didn’t even play it on the European leg of the tour (according to my very reliable sources we did in fact start playing it on the last couple of weeks of the European tour). And (manager & record label owner) Chris Parry fought against all of us to get it released (as a single). I remember there being very heated discussions about it being released. We didn’t really like it that much, and it went on to the be the most successful single in the band’s history.

Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
