"Love Resurrection" Lyrics

4.0 / 5
Song updated, review now!
what can I do to make light of this dull dull day
what switch can I pull to illuminate the way
show me one direction
I will not question again
for a warm injection
is all I need to calm the pain

we all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)
we all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)

what seed must I sow to replenish this barren land
teach me to harvest, I want you to grow in my hand
let's be optimistic, let's say that we won't toil in vain
if we pull together we'll never fall apart again

we all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)
we all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)

show me one direction
I will not question again
for a warm injection
is all I need to calm the pain

About"Love Resurrection" is a pop song written by English singer-songwriter Alison Moyet and producers Jolley & Swain for Moyet's debut studio album Alf (1984). Released as the album's first single in June 1984, it reached number 10 in the UK Singles Chart. It was released in the US in summer 1985 following "Invisible" and reached number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100 that August.

In 2006, "Love Resurrection" appeared in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The song can be heard on a fictional pop/rock/New Wave radio station called Flash FM.

There are two versions of the music video. The first version, made for the worldwide single release, shows Moyet at a Middle Eastern encampment somewhere in the desert. As she wanders through, the camera pans across the barren landscape and zooms in on a skull figure.

The second version, made for the American market, showed a softer side to Moyet following the breakup of Yazoo. The video shows Moyet, dressed all in white, performing the song in a darkened venue with a backup band in front of a small audience.

In the 16 June 1984 issue of Number One magazine, Max Bell reviewed the single, noting the single's "MOR direction". He commented: "Alf gives it loads but the Swain and Jollified electronic wash which accompanies is not entirely suitable and leaves you feeling that here is a catchphrase in search of a song. Tender but disposable." In a Number One magazine review of Moyet's follow-up single "All Cried Out", reviewer Paul Bursche praised "Love Resurrection" as being "magnificent, perhaps the best song of 1984".
