Spare Some Love
Renaissance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shadows darkness, follows quiet shadows
You walk beside a shadow
Strangers, people passing constant strangers
You walk beside a stranger

Spare some love
Why won't you spare some love?
Share your love
Why don't you share your love?

Sadness finds the lonely silent sadness
Finds them hard with sadness
Seeking growing you will find with seeking
Knowing you are seeking

Spare some love
Why won't you spare some love?
Share your love
Why don't you share your love?

Spare some love
Why won't you spare some love?
Share your love
Why don't you share your love?

Seasons, nature's pattern of the seasons
Changing with the seasons
Loving peace will come to all with loving
Living lives with loving

Spare some love
Why won't you spare some love?




Share your love
Why don't you share your love?

Overall Meaning

In Renaissance's song "Spare Some Love," the lyrics suggest that the world is full of shadows, strangers, and silent sadness. The song urges listeners to spare and share love in a world that is often isolated and lonely. The lyrics also suggest that by seeking, we can find peace, and by loving, we can change with the seasons of nature.


The first stanza of the song starts with “Shadows darkness, follows quiet shadows. You walk beside a shadow. Strangers, people passing constant strangers. You walk beside a stranger.” This stanza paints a picture of loneliness and isolation. The use of “shadow,”” darkness” and “strangers,” depict a feeling of not belonging. The next stanza says “Sadness finds the lonely silent sadness. Finds them hard with sadness. Seeking, growing you will find with seeking. Knowing you are seeking.” Here the songwriter suggests that while it may be hard to find the way out of sadness, seeking can lead to growth and eventually, an end to sadness. The chorus constantly reminds us to spare some love and share it as well.


In the third stanza, the songwriter tries to convey the message that the world has its own way of changing with the seasons. The lines “Seasons, nature's pattern of the seasons. Changing with the seasons. Loving peace will come to all with loving. Living lives with loving” signify that, along with nature, people also go through different phases and if one chooses to stick with love, then there's assurance of peace.

I remember walking into a record store 40 years ago, and this music was playing on the loud speaker! I asked one of the workers what it was AND I purchased the album, Prologue, that day, I have been listening to Renaissance ever since! How beautiful! Peace and Love! Steve

I hear her voice, and I really, truly think she has the best voice I have ever heard. She did all of this music long before the invention of Autotune.

@3sidedcoin

that period between 1967 & 1973 gave us some of the most beautiful songs of love that have lasted a lifetime and I feel blessed to be a part of it all ( I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes)

@briancarriere9821

Annie's voice is probably the most incredible voice with such range that I have ever heard
