Toronto-based group and movement, Amai Kuda et Les Bois, share “Love Song” – a fun, modern take on the classic Motown torch ballad. Inspired by a real life ‘tragic romance,’ the song plays up the tropes of the genre while genuinely speaking to the pain and frustration felt when two people love each other but can’t be together. The multiple distinct voices in the arrangement embody different aspects of the self, each responding to the situation with everything from passionate desperation to calm acceptance, but never taking themselves too seriously. In the end, the song even touches on life’s deeper questions, at once declaring the protagonists to be the writers of their fate and the subjects of a predetermined timeline. It packs a surprising punch for a playful love ballad.

The song has a universal significance, as DJ Melodie pointed out when asked about the lyrics:
“This track has an important meaning to me. It’s about learning to accept yourself and how that can make your life change for the better. Seeing yourself as you truly are, instead of looking at yourself through illusions and expectations, can bring a real turning point and an opportunity to overcome your fears and doubts.”
