Story Behind The Song
This is a homage to all unconditional loves that we often neglect to recognize. It's a song of hope. Hope that our lives do not distract us from one of the most important aspects of life: living in the moment, and being present enough to be able to see the beauty that stands right in front of you. The chorus tells the story...
why do I seek to find the truth, when she blooms right in front of me?
why would I want anymore than you, when you're everything I'll ever need?
imagine if every wish we dreamt of came true before we fell asleep.
the corner of my smile deepens, when I look at you.
Song Description
Think John Lennon's "Imagine". A Beatles-esque anthem of hope recognizing the unconditional loves of our lives (parents, friends, the planet, etc...). A powerful, accessible, and catchy chorus leads this Sting-like, male-vocal, swaying, timeless, rock ballad that pays homage to any love that never gives up on us.
With incessant distractions, it can be easy to miss the perfect love standing right in front of you. The unconditional love from a mother, a friend, our planet, or even a lover is taken for granted if we neglect to stop and appreciate it. There is a certain purity and perfection in the simple love that won't give up on us. It deserves our acknowledgement and reciprocation. It deserves the best of us. To all the "simple loves" out there: we see you.

Lyrics
Simple Love
Music by Joshua Stedman, Lyrics by Joshua Stedman and Allen Towbin
Like a fisherman who poisons his own lake. We recognize our big mistake.
Staring into empty waters questioning the thoughtless slaughters - asking how we strayed so far from simple dreams.
Why do I seek to find the truth, when she blooms right in front of me?
Why would I want anymore than you, when you're everything I'll ever need?
Imagine if every wish we dreamt of came true before we fell asleep.
The corner of my smile deepens, when I look at you.
Your peace becomes our battlefields of war. But it's never helped to settle any score.
You've given us a chance to share this dance with you, romance with you...
and even now, we still don't take the lead.
Why do I seek to find the truth, when she blooms right in front of me?
Why would I want anymore than you, when you're everything I'll ever need?
Imagine if every wish we dreamt of came true before we fell asleep.
The corner of my smile...
Respecting a woman's love is to notice the little things. Hear her whisper in the wind. The caress of her weeping willow hair. Her nectar in the air.
It's a simple love. It's a simple love.
Why do I seek to find the truth, when she blooms right in front of me?
Why would I want anymore than you, when you're everything I'll ever need?
Why do I seek to find the truth, when she blooms right in front of me?
Why would I want anymore than you, when you're everything I'll ever need?
Imagine if every wish we dreamt of came true before we fell asleep.
You may be a mother to us all, but you're a woman after all.
