All That I Need Is Love
Melody Gardot Lyrics
Boys like to think they can have it all
Well they don't know they're still so small
All that they see is live is opportunity
Guys like to think they'll get any girl
That just one look, one quick twirl
That these acts alone will buy him a way into my home
No well they don't know, no they don't know
All that I'm dreaming of
They don't know you know that they don't know
So much of these times have been physical
Well all the love now where'd it go?
Could it be my words are all together totally absurd
All of the men I know laugh at me
They don't listen, they can't see I'm falling apart
'cause no one will acknowledge my heart.
No they don't know, no they don't know
All that I'm dreaming of
They don't know, you know that they don't know
That all that I need is love
So I'll take my thoughts and just walk away
Well I've said all that I can say
But I'm still dreaming of
The day that I will find my love
The day that I will find my love
The day I will find my love.

Born on the 2nd February 1985 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Gardot took up piano and played as a youngster on the nightclub scene of Philadelphia, influenced by jazz, folk, rock, and pop musics. At the age of nineteen she was a fashion student at the Community College of Philadelphia. While cycling in Philadelphia in November 2003 she was hit by a car whose driver had ignored a red traffic light. In the accident she suffered serious head and spinal injuries, and her pelvis was broken in two places. Because of these severe injuries she was confined to her hospital bed for a year. Her musical beginning was prompted by a tending physician who was concerned with her cognitive impairment as a result of head injury sustained in the accident. He believed that music would help her brain injury improve, as it has been known to show remarkable results in improving people's cognitive ability after such trauma.
Following her doctor's suggestion, Gardot made recordings bedside, while still unable to walk, and eventually released the works as an EP: Some Lessons: The Bedroom Sessions (2005). Gardot's desire to be well, combined with a bit of luck, brought her to the attention of a local radio DJ at the AAA station WXPN (known for launching the careers of artists such as Amos Lee and Norah Jones). Her cognitive powers slowly but surely became pronounced, leading to the independent recording and release of her debut CD, Worrisome Heart, which was reissued in 2007 by Verve records.
Gardot is hypersensitive to light and noise, so wears dark glasses; she also uses a cane to walk. Onstage she requires a special seating unit, and wears a Transcutaneous Electro-Nerve Stimulator, a TENS device, to assist in alleviating her neuralgic muscle pain. Though touring is difficult, she has been performing in major cities on the East Coast of the U.S. to support her recordings. In 2009, working with producer Larry Klein and arranger Vince Mendoza - both known for their work with Joni Mitchell - Gardot followed up her Verve debut with My One and Only Thrill.
In 2012, she released the album The Absence.

Boys like to think they can have it all
Well they don't know they're still so small
All that they see is live is opportunity
Guys like to think they'll get any girl
That just one look, one quick twirl
That these acts alone will buy him a way into my home
No well they don't know, no they don't know
All that I'm dreaming of
They don't know you know that they don't know
That all that I need is love
So much of these times have been physical
Well all the love now where'd it go?
Could it be my words are all together totally absurd
All of the men I know laugh at me
They don't listen, they can't see I'm falling apart
'cause no one will acknowledge my heart.
No they don't know, no they don't know
All that I'm dreaming of
They don't know, you know that they don't know
That all that I need is love
So I'll take my thoughts and just walk away
Well I've said all that I can say
But I'm still dreaming of
The day that I will find my love
The day that I will find my love
The day I will find my love.
