"For Your Love" is a 1965 single written by future 10cc member Graham Gould… Read Full Bio ↴"For Your Love" is a 1965 single written by future 10cc member Graham Gouldman and performed by the British Invasion band The Yardbirds. It peaked at number three on UK Singles Chart and became their highest charting single in the U.S., peaking at number six.

The song was also recorded by Herman's Hermits, Humble Pie, The Greg Kihn Band, Nils Lofgren, Fleetwood Mac, Chilly and Graham Gouldman himself.

Gouldman wrote the song at the age of 19 while working by day in a gentlemen's outfitters near Salford Docks and playing by night with the semi-professional Manchester band the Mockingbirds. He said: "I was sleeping most of the time because I'd been gigging with the Mockingbirds the night before, and then during the day when I'd got any spare time I'd write in the shop. I used to shut up the shop at lunch time and sit in the back writing."

He said he was prompted to begin writing songs for the band out of frustration in finding new material. "We went down to Denmark Street and went round all the publishers trying to find a song . . . we didn’t get any songs that we liked or we weren’t given any songs period and the Beatles had started and I thought ‘well, I’m gonna really have a crack at song-writing.’ I had dabbled a bit, but they were really my inspiration and gave me and I think a lot of other people the courage to actually do it. We all wanted to be like the Beatles. I wrote two songs and the record company we were with turned down one of the songs. The song they turned down was 'For Your Love', which eventually found its way to the Yardbirds."

Gouldman's manager, Harvey Lisberg, was so impressed by the song he told Gouldman they should offer it to the Beatles. "I said, 'I think they're doing alright in the songwriting department, actually'," Gouldman recalled. Undeterred, Lisberg gave a demo of the song to publisher Ronnie Beck of Feldman's, who took it to the Hammersmith Odeon, where the Beatles were performing. By coincidence the Yardbirds were also performing on a Christmas show at the venue and Beck played the song to their manager, Giorgio Gomelsky, and the band.

In 1965 The Mockingbirds began a regular warm-up spot for BBC TV’s Top of the Pops, transmitted from Manchester. Gouldman recalled: "There was one strange moment when The Yardbirds appeared on the show doing 'For Your Love'. Everyone clamoured around them – and there I was just part of an anonymous group. I felt strange that night, hearing them play my song."

Despite the success "For Your Love" gave The Yardbirds, it signaled the departure of guitarist Eric Clapton, who played on the track with strong reluctance. Dismayed with the group's shift from R&B to pop, Clapton left the Yardbirds to join John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Speaking with Songfacts in a 2010 interview, Yardbirds drummer Jim McCarty stuck up for the song. He said: "'For Your Love' was an interesting song, it had an interesting chord sequence, very moody, very powerful. And the fact that it stopped in the middle and went into a different time signature, we liked that, that was interesting. Quite different, really, from all the bluesy stuff that we'd been playing up till then. But somehow we liked it. It was original and different."

The song was featured in the 1998 film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and in the 2009 film The Boat That Rocked.

For Your Love
Yardbirds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

For your love
For your love
I'd give you everything and more and that's for sure
(For your love)
I'd bring you diamond rings and things right to your door
(For your love)
To thrill you with delight,
I'd give you diamonds bright

Double takes I will excite,
Make you dream of me at night
For your love
For your love
For your love
For your love,
For your love
I would give the stars above
For your love,
For your love
I would give you all I could
(For your love)
(For your love)
I'd give the moon if it were mine to give
(For your love)

I'd give the stars and the sun for I live
(For your love)

Overall Meaning

The Yardbirds’ hit song “For Your Love” is a love ballad that expresses the lengths to which the singer is willing to go for the one he loves. The repeated refrain of “For your love” sets the tone for the entire song and is indicative of how deeply he is devoted to his lover. The singer makes grandiose promises to his beloved, promising to give her everything he possibly can in order to make her happy. From diamond rings and delightful thrills to the stars and the moon, he is willing to go to any lengths to ensure her happiness.

The lyrics also contain a bit of clever wordplay, with double entendres such as “Double takes I will excite” and “Make you dream of me at night.” In these lines, the singer is not only promising to excite his lover, but also to make her think about him constantly, even in her dreams. The inspiration for the song reportedly comes from the experience of one of the band members who fell in love with a woman while in New York City.

that is SO many bands....
i have said in the past... "these people get together... say what needs to be said..... and then leave"
.
like the ORIGINAL alice cooper band.... before Alice went "solo"
their first album even confused frank zappa LOL (and its honestly pretty bad.... unless you are in the mood for it.... same with the meat puppets first album)
.
but "easy action" to "killer"...... AMAZING records
.
.
.
coopers "easy action" is still REALLY quite strange..... not the rock and roll he got famous for
but it still damn fun to listen to
.
.
.
.
anyway.... back to the point
ya.... these bands from.... "say what needs to be said"...... and then break up
and these shorter lived bands usually have the most "ah-ha!" moments for me
.
like AH-HA!!! thats how to make that guitar sound
or AH-HA!!! thats how ive felt all these years.... but i could never explain it
ETC
ETC
.
.
.
and while i (clearly) love alice cooper
after the "OG band" broke up..... you can really see that Alice was just following trends
and is STILL doing that today
.
the OG bands music was unique (even psychedelic AF!! on some tracks)
but "solo alice" is just a trend chaser
.
.
and again, i love Alice cooper.... he is an AMAZING human being (kind, thoughtful, ETC)
but his music kinda stinks
.
a few good songs on each new record.....
but i cant listen to ALL the songs like i could on "love it to death"........ or even "easy action" (which is still first album strange, but refined)

As a High School age musician, one of the first paying gigs we had was a wedding reception. The Bride and Groom requested "For Your Love" as their first dance. We said "sure, we can do it". We didn't consider that the couple wanted to dance slow to the BALLAD "For Your Love"! No, instead we blasted headlong into the Yardbirds song. To that couple, all these years later, if you're still together.......I'm SO sorry!

I can still recall when I first heard this song as a 9 year old. It was in June of 1965 and I was in the passenger side of a Comet manipulating the radio dial as we were driving south on old Ohio route 8. I stopped when I heard this and a memory was set in my neuronal pathways. At that time I didn’t know who was singing nor did I care. It just sounded cool and good. Now, over 58 years later, it still does and will. Memories…

On harpsichord: Brian Auger, was called in that day to help out in the studio. He shows up, asks where's the organ? No organ in the studio. OK, where's the piano? No piano. They point to the thing in the corner with a cover over it. Turned out to be a dual-manual classical harpsichord. Auger thought they were joking. He had never played a harpsichord, which feels totally different because the keys pluck the strings instead of striking the strings with a hammer like a piano. Afterwards, he thought, who would buy a pop song with a harpsichord in it? Nobody! Then it becomes a smash hit - the Yardbird's first. I don't think Auger is credited on the album.

Lovely song! I was 17 years old when this was a hit and I sailed on the Dutch merchant. During progress of works I broke my wrist aboard the Kamperdijk from the fleet of the HAL. I got off in New York. The comagnie, gave me a half year accident leave, several thousand dollars insurance money, valid for one year (as long as my visa) a free trip home aboard one of the ships in the fleet. The wrisk healed within a few weeks. I traveled across the U.S. to San Francisco (the center of the hippy culture) Los Angeles, back from Washington to New York, on every radio you heard this song. And all that because of a accident a young man from the working class given the opportunity to experience this beautiful, meaningful and special time. (translated with help from google)

Keyboard wizard/legend Brian Auger playing the harpsichord - he tells a very funny story about the session. He got a call from the Yardbirds asking him if he was busy, one afternoon. They said they wanted him to play on a recording, at some tiny London studio. He'd never heard of the place, and, when he got there he looked around and didn't see an organ. He said, "Where's the organ?" - they said, "We don't have one". So, then he asked, "Okay, where's the piano?". Same answer. They pointed to a corner of the room where there was something covered by a tarp, or, blanket. The Yardbirds said, we've got "this" - they pulled the cover off and it was a harpsichord. Auger had never touched one, but gave it a shot. He says he walked out thinking, "Good luck having a pop hit using a harpsichord!" And the rest, as they say, is history.

Here is the The Recording Process for "For Your Love" according to Wiki.

The Yardbirds recorded "For Your Love" at the IBC Studios in London on 1 February 1965.The majority of the song was recorded with singer Keith Relf and drummer Jim McCarty backed by session musician Ron Prentice on bowed bass, Denny Piercy on bongos, and organist Brian Auger on harpsichord. Guitarists Eric Clapton and Chris Dreja only perform during the song's double-time middle break section. Bassist Paul Samwell-Smith assumed the production duties and is listed as musical director on the 45. At the conclusion of the session, Auger wondered, "Who, in their right mind, is going to buy a pop single with harpsichord on it?"

Such a catchy song. Right from the very second it opens it engulfs your mind and keeps growing. Some remixes are also good.

Funny thing is, Eric Clapton was hoping "Pagey" would replace him right away (in early 1965), but because he was still enjoying the success and riches of his session work, Clapton then brought in Jeff Beck. Beck would remain in the group until the fall of 1966, and bassist Paul Samwell-Smith's earlier departure finally allowed "Pagey" a slot in the 'Birds. Chris Dreja, previously the rhythm guitarist, then switched to bass upon Samwell-Smith's exit.

Can you imagine what it woulda been like to be 18 in 1965? Maybe you have the summer off before college. Your parent just gave you the keys to the car and tell you it’s yours as a graduation present. Maybe you and your sweetheart, or you and your best friend get to roadtrip to see these guys perform live. Imagine how amazing that would be.

@Tink9750

I remember this on a transatlantic crossing New York to France 1966, in the "discotheque" where the younger folks would gather to play pinball and skeeball. A young man named Adam, who wore a brimmed cap, danced around an empty pop bottle to this song. What a show. We also met Carol Burnett in there. Fond memories !
