00:00My song specifically started the day I was born.
00:03There was no real moment or pivotal point where I realized that I could sing.
00:07Once I got to about 14 and I started singing Elvis and really giving it some beans, that's
00:10when I knew I was like, yeah, this is my stuff.
00:13I love singing this.
00:14More than I love singing the pop stuff, I knew that this was my style and my sound and
00:17that this is where I was meant to be and what I was meant to do.
00:26I have been in love before.
00:27I'm currently in love.
00:28This song was written with her, so it's a very special song to me.
00:32This song is about the first time that I ever fell in love.
00:35Specifically, it's about that realization.
00:37Love's different for everyone and I think it's important for you to take it in your own time.
00:43For me personally, I think what was going on was I had these funny feelings and I was like,
00:47what am I feeling right now?
00:49And the song perfectly captures that funny feeling.
00:58The thing with these specific lyrics was I wanted to really have two sayings in there.
01:19The first bit is sort of like you're asking someone else, what does love feel like?
01:24And imagine there's a wise old man sat there and he's like, well, you know when you know.
01:29And then obviously, have you had me at hello?
01:30Those are two idioms, if you like.
01:32I think it's just a perfect way to start the song.
01:34I think it's a lead into what the realization will be.
02:04These lyrics are like trying to tell people and to convince myself that you don't need
02:11to have too much to be in love.
02:13I think just missing someone, wishing that they were near you all the time,
02:16is enough for you to know you're in love and to know that you have that connection with someone,
02:21to have something beautiful with them.
02:23And I didn't want to really go out too much and make it too complicated because that's not
02:29really what the songs that I like are like.
02:32It's just simplifying love and showing it in its simplest form.
02:51Those lyrics are like, they're supposed to be an equation.
02:53One smile, kiss, two lonely hearts.
02:56That's all it takes to make love, really.
02:58If we were to write it down on a piece of paper and display how you fall in love,
03:02that's how I would do it.
03:10The vibrations line was one of them things where we were just messing around.
03:13I think we were listening to Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys.
03:17Yeah.
03:17We were just messing around.
03:18Let's put that in there.
03:19It's a fun line to work with and it's a little hint to that side of music.
03:28That line specifically is probably one of my favorite lines.
03:37Just because of the way that it was written, we'd put in the guitar solo.
03:42We looked at each other and said, it needs something else.
03:45What is it?
03:45This line wasn't originally written down in the lyrics.
03:49She turned to me and said, well, what could it be?
03:52I said, well, between you and me.
03:53And it was like this moment where sparks went off and we're like, that's it.
03:56That's the line.
03:57All I dream of is your eyes.
04:03All I long for is your touch.
04:06And darling, something tells me, it tells me it's enough.
04:13You can say that I'm a fool and I don't know very much.
04:19But I think they call, oh, I think they call.
04:25Yes, I think they call, this love, this love.
04:41At this point in the song, I'm trying to like amp it up a bit.
04:44This is like the desperation.
04:45The line at the end, yes, I think they call this love.
04:48That's the solidification, if you like.
04:50That's the point of like, yes, this is love.
04:52I know now.
04:53I know what it is.
04:54And to just showcase that journey from what is this?
04:58Oh, it might be love.
04:59Is this, I think it's love.
05:00I think it's love.
05:00Yes, this is love.
05:01It's like putting a bow on the end of it.
05:05At the time, me and my girlfriend were taking dance lessons.
05:07We were learning to do like swing dancing.
05:09What we did after we were listening to the song back was we actually danced to it.
05:13We were trying to see if it was danceable.
05:15Can people dance to it in a nice way?
05:17And we tested it and it worked.
05:19Definitely passed the test.
