"I Love You" took many different directions before its current arrangement. Michael (piano/vocals) wrote the intro and was messing around with it and it was so interesting and atmospheric, almost carnival, I had to try something. That became both of our first co-writing experiences. I was at what ended up being the end of a 7 year
relationship, the lyrics and idea started as more of my trying to put out a fire from an argument about marriage and commitment. I still love her, but on the bullheadedness front it was clash of the titans.

Anyways, we had this really out there bridge that just didn't sit well with David Z (producer), so he asked me to go a little easier on the ears, so I wrote that in the studio while we were recording it. Turned out well I think, sums it up pretty well. As far as the title, I never really heard of a love song called simply I Love You so I went for it.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album - right here!
