Story Behind The Song
Composed on a porch on a summer moonlit night in New England and recorded in an old church, Love Anyway is the title track of Elissa Margolin's first album released in 2010.
Song Description
An introspective journey that contemplates love despite fear, fragility and emptiness, this song takes its time, making its minor key and female vocal resonate with feeling. The subtle layering of guitars and a filtered acoustic piano give the song some breadth, while the 4/4 tempo and picking pattern hold it steady.

Lyrics
Go back home
Go back home
For we are lonely
Turn back on
Turn back on
For this is phony
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
For we are aging
Aging
Keep us warm
Keep us warm
For we are shivering
Hold on tight
Hold tight
For we are quivering
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
To the hypocrisy
Or is it irony
Pour toujours
C'est l'amour
C'est l'amour
Qui tue l'identite
Love Anyway
Go back home
Go back home
For we are lonely
Turn back on
Turn back on
For this is phony
Phony
Always
Through a maze
Through a maze
Of ideology
Love Anyway
Love Anyway
Love Anyway
