Story Behind The Song

Like Sprinsteen's "Dancing In The Dark," I took a classic song title and totally reimagined it.

Song Description

A song that attempts to get to the heart of what we mean when we talk about love and family.

Lyrics

DAYS OF THUNDER, NIGHTS OF FEAR
IT FEELS SOMETIMES THE END IS NEAR
EVERYTHING WE'VE COUNTED ON
DISAPPEARING, ALMOST GONE
WE HANG ON TIGHT TO MOTHER EARTH
NO SENSE OF PURPOSE, NO SENSE OF WORTH
AS GROUND BELOW IS TURNED TO SAND
BY FORCES WE DON'T UNDERSTAND
IT'S TEMPTING TO EMBRACE DESPAIR
AND CURSE THE STARS ABOVE
BUT I WON'T DO THAT, NOT TONIGHT
I'M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE

IN THE MOOD TO LET THINGS BE
TO NOT LET WORRY TORTURE ME
TO COUNT EACH BLESSING, SMELL EACH ROSE
'CAUSE YOU KNOW HOW IT USUALLY GOES
WE SCRATCH AND CLAW TO GET OUR SHARE
AND WE NEVER GET ENOUGH
WELL, I'LL WON'T GO THERE, NOT TONIGHT
I'M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE

NOW LOVE CAN'T STOP A HURRICANE
PROTECT US FROM A HARD, HARD RAIN
IT'S NOT SOME PILL THAT MAKES THINGS RIGHT
OR CONJURES DAY WHEN ALL IS NIGHT

BUT IF THERE'S A POINT TO ALL OF THIS
I KNOW FOR ME JUST WHAT IT IS:
IT'S MY DAUGHTERS, IT'S MY WIFE
MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY, THIS SWEET LIFE
WHEN I THINK ABOUT THESE PRECIOUS GIFTS
I FORGET THE UGLY STUFF
COME IN, JOIN ME, SHARE THE LIGHT
I'M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE TONIGHT
I'M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE
