After releasing several singles and three albums within the Detroit independent music underground, The White Stripes rose to prominence in 2002, as part of the garage rock revival scene. Their successful albums White Blood Cells and Elephant drew them attention from a large variety of media outlets in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The White Stripes used a low-fidelity, do-it-yourself approach to writing and recording. Their music features a melding of punk and blues influences and a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance. The duo is also noted for their fashion and design aesthetic which features a simple color scheme of red, white, and black.
The White Stripes' discography consists of six studio albums, two extended plays (EP), one video album, 26 singles and fourteen music videos. The band has sold approximately 12 million albums worldwide, 2 million in the US alone, and their latest three albums have each won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.
On February 2, 2011, the band announced on their website that they had disbanded.

14. It's True That we Love One Another
The White Stripes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too but there's just so much
That I don't know about you
Jack give me some money to pay my bills
All the dough I give you Holly
You been using on pain pills
Jack will you call me if you're able?
In the back of my bible
Jack I think you're pulling my leg
And I think maybe Id better ask Meg
Meg do you think Jack really loves me?
You know, I don't care because Jack really bugs me
Why don't you ask him now?
Well I would but Meg, I really just don't know how
Just say Jack, do you adore me?
Well I would Holly but love really bores me
Well maybe we should just be friends
I'm just kidding Holly
You know that Ill love you til the end
Well its true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too but there's just so much
That I don't know about you
Holly give me some of your
English lovin'
If I did that Jack Id have one in
The oven
Why don't you go off and love yourself
If I did that Holly there
Won't be anything left
For anybody else
Jack its too bad
About the way that you look
You know I gave that horse a carrot
So he'd break your foot
Will the two of you cut it out
And tell em what Its really all about
Well its true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too
But there's just so much
That I don't know about you
The White Stripes's song "Well It's True That We Love One Another" is a playful and humorous conversation between band members Jack White and Holly Golightly. The song offers an insight into the unique relationship that the two musicians share. Essentially, the lyrics revolve around the fact that both Jack and Holly love each other, to some extent, but there are limitations to what they are willing to do for each other.
The opening lyrics of the song establish that the two have fond feelings for each other, with Jack loving Holly like a little sister. However, as the conversation continues, it's clear that there is some tension between them. Holly wants Jack to pay her bills, but he's reluctant to give her money because he believes she's using it for pain pills. She then asks Jack to call her, but he jokes he's going to pull her leg instead. Throughout the song, there is a lot of back and forth, with each person teasing the other about their quirks and flaws.
Overall, "Well It's True That We Love One Another" is a lighthearted and fun track that offers a glimpse into the playful dynamic between Jack and Holly. While it's clear that they have a certain admiration for each other, there is also a sense that they are not fully committed to the idea of a serious relationship.

Holly, why don't you focus on loving yourself? If you were to do so, there would be nothing left of you for others to care for.
Jack its too bad
About the way that you look
You know I gave that horse a carrot
So he'd break your foot
Jack, it's unfortunate that you have an unappealing appearance. In fact, I once bribed a horse to injure you with a carrot.
Will the two of you cut it out
And tell em what Its really all about
Can both of you stop arguing and explain what the real issue is?
Well its true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too
But there's just so much
That I don't know about you
Once again, it is true that our relationship involves caring for each other. I love Jack like he's my younger brother, and I also care for you, Holly, but there are still many things that I don't know about you.
