In "Is This Love," Anneli Drecker sings about her desire to love someone every day and every night. She speaks of wanting to share a roof with them, and being together physically in every way possible. Throughout the song, she ponders whether or not this feeling she has is true love, repeatedly asking herself and the listener, "Is this love that I'm feeling?" Her willingness and ability to give all of herself to this person is evident as she throws her cards on their table, but she still wants to make sure that what they have is real.
The song's lyrics express the idea of seeking a deeper connection with someone, in which they can share not only physical space but also emotional intimacy. By referring to "jah," a term often used by Rastafarians to signify God, Drecker also emphasizes the importance of spirituality and higher powers in their relationship. Additionally, the repetition of the phrase "is this love" creates a sense of uncertainty, as if she's both questioning the authenticity of these feelings and reassuring herself that what they have is real.
Overall, "Is This Love" is a genuine and heartfelt song about love, intimacy and the desire for deeper connections with people. It expresses vulnerability, passion and a willingness to open oneself up fully to another person.
