Columbia Records, the group recorded it's first record which spawned the singles "If This Is Love" and "Love Has No Pride" (written with Aldo Nova).
The Duo, with their band, toured extensively in europe and went on to record two more CD's for the European Label Music For Nations. Another European Label, Frontiers released the "Best Of" CD "Road To Paradise" and "Real Life" album.
Mangold- from Florida via the fertile entertainment breeding ground of New York’s Long Island--began his career as a pianist/organist with a series of rock bands, including Valhalla, a symphonic rock band that recorded for United Artists. He then did three Columbia albums with keyboard trio American Tears (showcasing his dynamic singing), which evolved into Touch, whose Atlantic Records debut had success at home and especially in Europe and Japan. In the middle I worked with Michael Bolton for quite awhile, and worked on his first two records,” Mark says. “I toured with him in his early stages, as a keyboard player--I was actually in his first video, for a song called “Fool’s Game” (written by Mark and Michael), playing keyboards.” Bolton’s first two albums count no fewer than five Bolton-Mangold compositions. He also worked as a co-writer and co-producer with hitmaker Benny Mardones and as a staff songwriter for CBS Songs and Columbia Picture’s publishing division. He is not one of those writers who has been content to let the others have the hits with his songs.
Notably, all instruments besides drums and keys are played by the amazingly multi-talented Al, who scathes on guitar, bass and keys, too boot, besides being an award-winning singer.
Love Has No Pride
Drive She Said Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh-oh-oh...
Seems like it's gettin' harder
To make it through the night with you
We could take it further
Go on to make it right, oh-oh...
But when you turn away
That's your pride talkin'
And love has no pride
Look in my eyes
There's nothin' I hide or won't say
Love has no pride
It's something inside
It's pure emotion, but it's slippin' away
Love has no pride
Gotta get an answer
Here and now tonight from you
Love doesn't look for reasons
To hold back what's inside, ooh
You won't make the first move
You're so scared you may lose
That's your pride talkin'
And love has no pride
Look in my eyes
There's nothin' I hide or won't say
Love has no pride
It's something inside
It's pure emotion, but it's slippin' away
Love has no pride
Oh-oh, no wrong or right
It's slippin' away
My love has no pride, ooh-ooh...
Oh-oh...
How can you truly belong to me
When you hide so desperately
How can I make you see
A little love is all we need?
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
Love has no pride
Look in my eyes
There's nothin' I hide or won't say
Love has no pride
It's something inside
It's pure emotion, but it's slippin' away
Love has no pride, oh-oh...
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
No wrong or right
No pride
(It's pure emotion)
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's pure emotion)
(It's your pride talkin')
Nothin' I hide
Love has no pride
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
Ooh, baby
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
(It's your pride talkin')
The song "Love Has No Pride" by Drive She Said talks about the struggles of a relationship where one person is too proud to express their love and make the necessary changes in the relationship. The singer is aware that their partner is holding back because of their pride and it's causing the relationship to slip away. The chorus emphasizes the idea that love should have no pride and that true love requires openness, honesty, and vulnerability. The singer asks for honesty and a commitment to make things work before it's too late.
The second verse highlights the frustration of not being able to communicate and feeling like the partner is not making an effort. The singer pleads for an answer and notes that love doesn't look for reasons to hold back what's inside. The bridge asks how the partner can truly belong to them if they're hiding and not willing to express themselves. The song concludes by repeating that love has no pride and that it's slipping away because of the partner's inability to let their guard down and embrace love fully.
