Spoiler: Love, In Itself Lyrics

Love, In Itself

All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts
And the definite lasts
That lay in store for me

There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself

Consequently
I've a tendency
To be unhappy, you see
The thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and the reds
Get to me

All of the absurdities
That lay before us
All of the doubts
And the uncertainties
That lay in store for us

Love In Itself is one of several song demos prepared by Martin Gore for the 1983 Construction Time Again album.

Love In Itself (Demo).


Dave Gahan and Andrew Fletcher recalled the recording of Love In Itself in an October 1985 interview with British magazine No. 1 [1]:
Dave Gahan:

"This is the s-s-s-s’s track. It had a very soft vocal, with a lot of s’s, it sounded awful. I was a bit disappointed with this,
it could have been brilliant."

Andrew Fletcher:

"We had a lot of problems with the equipment with this one, just trying to get that softness of sound we wanted
without it all blurring was a real nightmare. It’s one that’s always good live, though."

In this video in which the mastering process for the 2019 Singles box sets is explained, a test pressing can be seen that lists the song title
'Cocktail' but is crossed out and replaced by the title 'Love in Itself (4)'.
