Love grew out of the Los Angeles garage band The Grass Roots, changing their name in 1965 to avoid confusion with the P.F. Sloan-managed band of the same name. The band lived communally in Bela Lugosi's former LA residence The Castle, and the house forms the background to the cover of their first two album sleeves.
Love released their eponymous début album in July 1966. This was followed later the same month by the single "Seven and Seven Is/No. Fourteen", neither side of which was included on the album, and which gave the band their only U.S. Billboard top 40 hit.
Love's second album Da Capo was released in January 1967. The album is split between a more conventional first side, featuring 6 tracks (including Seven and Seven is) and a second side featuring just one near twenty-minute track, Revelation.
The band's critical reputation far exceeds the limited success they experienced: their second album to be released in 1967, Forever Changes, is consistently cited by critics as one of the most outstanding albums in the history of rock music. The album features full and complex orchestration throughout, accompanying Lee and MacLean's increasingly elaborate song writing. The album sold poorly in the U.S., reaching #154 on the Billboard charts, although it performed better in some European territories.
Although the band continued to record after Forever Changes, subsequent releases saw frequent large-scale personnel changes, and a move away from the more baroque style of that album towards traditional rock and latterly to soul and funk.
Of the later albums, 1970's False Start is notable for featuring a guest appearance by Jimi Hendrix from one of his last recording sessions.
Lee continued the band until 1975, having lost all the other members to drug problems. He formed other bands called Love (sometimes with former band mate Echols) through the 1990s.
2. Love is also an R'n'B musician based in Manchester, United Kingdom, with Zimbabwean and Malawian roots. His début singles, 'In My Tee' and '3' b/w 'Black Coffee' were released in 2018.
3. The alter ego of Japanese pop singer Ai Otsuka (大塚愛).
4. Former lead singer of disbanded CORE OF SOUL, Fukiko Nakamura's solo work's alias.
5. Love is a Japanese pop/R&B vocal duo, produced by Hiro of Exile's production agency, LDH. They debuted in 2009 with the single "First Love: Love Letter." Their song "Tada Hitotsu no Negai Sae" was certified gold by the RIAJ for 100,000 full-length cellphone downloads.
The band's name comes from the first word in their production company (LDH)'s non-acronym name (Love Dance Happiness).
The band was formed in 2008 by former Paradise Go!! Go!! member Misaki Matsumoto, and quarter Italian Stephanie. The pair met through production agency LDH, when they were given the roles of the two vocalists in a dance performance group called Real Force. When the plans for this unit fell through, the duo formed Love. Both members had been in the entertainment industry for over ten years.
The group's first activity together was releasing a cover of Zone's "Secret Base (Kimi ga Kureta Mono)" as a ringtone (as well as releasing the full version in a special CD attached to the August issue of Gekkan Exile magazine). A year later, the group released their debut single, "First Love: Love Letter," with this cover as a B-side.
The group's songs have been popular through digital markets, with all lead tracks from their singles reaching the top 5 on the RIAJ Digital Track Chart (including "Taisetsu na Kimochi" from their debut album Taisetsu na Kimochi which was not released as a physical single).
The duo have had two collaborations with Exile twice: once before their debut on the song "Love, Dream & Happiness" on Exile's compilation album Exile Ballad Best in 2008, and in 2009 Misaki recorded background vocals for Exile's song "If (I Know)" on their album Aisubeki Mirai e.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
夢で think of you
一人ふらっと
思い知る early morning
たまに feeling alone
That's what I need
Nobody knows how I see
the world around me
濡れて loneliness
君がいなくて
拭えない day of my life
空は deep and slow
風は clear and blue
Nobody knows how I see
the world around me
Nobody knows how I see
the world around me
That's the way it's gonna be
So let's just wait and see
You're gonna get what you seed
それを待つ feeling
君を想う morning
Life is about a dream
Go on and on
Good times, bad times
Now and here, it's so precious
愛の待つ方へ
Life goes on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
It's cold today
触れて satisfied
重ねあって
受け入れる cloudy morning
So I rather smile
憂うよりはそう
I let it go
Let it out, let it be
It won't take so long
一人 night and day
行こう in my way
でなきゃ find some way
Forever night and day
Forever night and day
Nobody knows how I feel
the world around me
Nobody knows how I feel
the world around me
That's the way it's gonna be
So let's just wait and see
You're gonna get what you seed
それを待つ feeling
君を想う morning
Life is about a dream
Go on and on
Good times, bad times
Now and here, it's so precious
愛のある方へ
Life goes on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
Now still I sing this song
君の melody
唄にかえて
Just another day of my life
そこに咲く愛の未来へ
想いは flowing 憂いは slowing
それを待つ feeling
君を想う morning
Life is about a dream
Go on and on
Good times, bad times
Now and here, it's so precious
Yes, I am the one
to start the day
I hope you come with me
(Life is about a dream
go on and on)
It's so precious
愛の待つ方へ
Life goes on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
Now and here
Life goes on and on...
Now and here
Life goes on and on...
Now and here
Life goes on and on...
The lyrics to Love's song Good Times are all about positivity and looking forward to good times ahead. The repetition of the line "It's gonna be alright" is a reassurance to the listener that everything is going to work out in the end. The singer is trying to lift the spirits of someone who may have been going through some tough times lately, telling them that in the morning they will have a good time, and that there will be no more bad times, only good ones from here on out.
The second verse is all about dancing, and how it can be a way to forget about your troubles and just have a good time. The singer urges the listener to stay out on the dance floor, and promises that they will dance some more in a moment. Again, the repeating line "You're gonna have a good time!" is an affirmation that the good times are coming.
Overall, this song is a feel-good anthem that encourages listeners to focus on the positive, and to believe that good times are just around the corner. The upbeat tempo and catchy melody make it a perfect song to dance to and let go of your worries.
