Story Behind The Song

Gifted with an infectious little hook about one of the many ways in which budding relationships can stall before they flourish, singer/songwriter/guitarist Brett Mikels and longtime friend & collaborator Jason Orme (Alanis Morisette, Daniel Powter, Big Red Button) wrote, recorded, and produced Love Says So throughout the summer of 2009. Three other amazing musicians with talent and resumes to die for lent their magic to this recording: Herman Matthews (drums), Dan Rothchild (Bass), and Vincent Leslie Jones (Keyboards). Michael James, who produced and mixed Brett's first album "Deep Enough" alongside Brett and producer Bill Kole, mixed Love Says so, and David Donnely (DNA Mastering) polished it up for the world! This was the last song written for Brett's follow up record, but is the first released. Follow up singles and the forthcoming album are scheduled for Fall / Winter release 2009.

Song Description

An irresistibly inviting "Blue Eyed Soul" single from the eagerly anticipated follow up to Deep Enough... with a guitar solo.

Lyrics

Love Says So
Copyright © 2009 Jason Orme & Brett Mikels

Verse I
I've been thinking
Clearly I've been thinking too much
Should be so easy
All we're talking bout is fallin' in love
People do it every day
What more do I have to say

Chorus I
Come on baby we're not crazy
No more ifs & buts or maybes
Love says, love says so
You and I got something great and
I don't see the point in waitin'
Love says, love says so

Verse II
I keep on waitin'
But it feels like I'm growin' old
While you're making up your mind
Wasting all this time
Afraid to let yourself go, oh, oh
People do it every day
What more do I have to say

Chorus II
Come on baby we're not crazy
No more ifs & buts or maybes
Love says, love says so
You and I got something great and
I don't see the point in waitin'
Love says, love says so

Bridge
Don't want to let you go
I think its better
Spending time together
Hand in hand wherever we go
Don't you know
We can make this old house a new home

Verse III
I been thinking
Clearly I've been thinking too much

Chorus III / Outro
Come on baby we're not crazy
No more ifs & buts or maybes
Love says, love says so
You and I got something great and
I don't see the point in waitin'
Love says, love says so
