The backing track was recorded on my Korg T2 in around 1989, I think, and the vocals were recorded in the early 90s on a borrowed Fostex 8-track. And on sax - that's me too - using my Korg wiggle stick! Hey - it was a long time ago! This song is high in my personal top ten.
lyrics
Love Has Many Levels
Love has many levels, like the quest for for satisfaction,
when the only thing that matters is a mutual attraction.
Love has many levels, like the pain we cause to others,
then blame it on the hang-ups of our fathers and our mothers.
Love has many levels, from the shallow to the deep,
which make us blind to rules which say to look before you leap.
Love has many levels, from the valleys to the peaks,
the meeting of two minds goes hand-in-hand as bodies speak.
Against the grain we go together, finding out just what we need.
Like creepers twisting 'round a tree, we reach the sky and breathe.
We long for some simplicity, the sweetness and the light,
which fades with every sunset, to the sanctity of night.
Love has many levels, as we leave behind our youth
we find the deepest level when we learn to tell the truth.
Love has many levels, like the voices in a choir,
which chase away the devils, whilst angels sing of heart's desire.
There's love that comes from instinct and there's love that comes from purity.
Sometimes we need to be admired, sometimes we need security.
There's love that come out of the clouds or love that's down to earth.
We test the water, dive right in, and swim for all we're worth.
Love has many levels, love has many levels, from angels down to devils, the ones we know, the ones we don't.
Love has many levels, love has many levels,, from angels down to devils, the ones we know, the ones we don't.
