about
Probably one of the best things we’ve ever done. The funniest thing about this one was Marky’s original home demo of the song, which featured him trying to sing like me! Of course, this phenomenon has always been quite common among songwriters who demo and pitch their tunes to artists who don’t write their own material. Word has it that when Elvis Presley heard a demo of this type that he really liked, he’d copy it verbatim, right down to the vocal inflections of the guy mimicking him on the recording. Inevitably, what you’ll hear on this track is me trying to sing like Mark trying to sing like me.
lyrics
When I gave up, you held up
When I ran out, you filled me up
When I kept runnin', you kept up
When I let you down you lifted me up
This is the way love is
When I couldn't find the words, you understood
When I didn't find the time, you were in no hurry
When I wouldn't make ends meet, you tied them together
When I cheated you kept to the rules
Well, this is the way love is
This is the way love is
When it's a one-sided double-minded mirror with no reflection
When I was keepin' it in, you were givin' out
When I was losin' out, you'd let me come back
When I was holdin' back, you were holdin' on
When I was losin' my cool you were keepin' your love warm
Well, this is the way love is
This is the way love is
When it's a one-sided double-minded mirror with no reflection
When I kept it all to myself like a miser holds on to his last dime
When I closed up myself like a desperate hand on a lifeline
Well I was bled, I was dried, all wrapped up in my pride
This is the way it is when you're on the wrong side
Well, this is the way love is
This is the way love is
When it's a one-sided double-minded mirror with no reflection

Fantastic album/CD with great instrumentation and vocals. Also an inspiration listening to the lyrics. Excellent recording quality as well.
I give this my 5 Coconuts!

This is a formative album for me that has aged so well. I had no idea at the time how well crafted the album was and am so thankful for this remaster and chance to add it to my physical collection. auraltecture
