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.

Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Small town, front porch swing
Sunset on a boulevard
Last call at a tiki bar
Middle of the night, morning light
Pulling you in on these lips of mine
Anytime, anywhere
On a jet plane, fast train
Anyplace baby, I don't care
What you want and when you need it
I don't even really need a reason
I'll go there
And I'll kiss you, kiss you
Baby, anytime anywhere
Baby, anytime anywhere
The back of your neck on a moonlit levee
In the bed of my beat up Chevy
Slow dancing just off the blacktop
Fireflies falling like electric raindrops
Sunday drive, Friday night
Baby, right now would be just fine
Anytime, anywhere
Let the world stop and stare
On a jet plane, fast train
Anyplace baby, I don't care
What you want and when you need it
I don't even really need a reason
I'll go there
And I'll kiss you, kiss you
Baby, anytime anywhere
Baby, anytime anywhere
A covered bridge on a country road
Rollin' in the sand down in Mexico
From the red on your lips to the red on your toes
Anytime, anywhere
Let the world stop and stare
On a jet plane, fast train
Anyplace baby, I don't care
What you want and when you need it
I don't even really need a reason
I'll go there
And I'll kiss you, kiss you
Baby, anytime anywhere
Baby, anytime anywhere
Anytime, anywhere
Let the world stop and stare
On a jet plane, fast train
Anyplace baby, I don't care
What you want and when you need it
I don't even really need a reason
I'll go there
And I'll kiss you, kiss you
Baby, anytime anywhere
Baby, anytime anywhere
