About This Is Love

"This Is Love" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison that was released on his 1987 album Cloud Nine. Harrison co-wrote the song with Jeff Lynne, who also co-produced the track. In June 1988, it was issued as the third single from Cloud Nine, peaking at number 55 on the UK Singles Chart. The original B-side for the single was going to be "Handle with Care", a collaboration between Harrison, Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty recorded at Bob Dylan's studio in Santa Monica, California. When executives at Harrison's distributor Warner Bros. Records heard the track, they decided it was too good to be released as single "filler", a decision that resulted in the formation of the Traveling Wilburys, and the album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, with "Handle with Care" as the lead track and single. Steve Wood and Daniel May composed music to the 1998 IMAX documentary film Everest incorporating melodies from some of Harrison's songs, one of which was "This Is Love". Harrison's Cloud Nine recording also appeared on his 2009 compilation Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison. more »

Vicious words drift away from their meanings
And the sun melts the chill from our lives
Helping us all to remember what we came here for
This is love
This is la la la la love
This is love
This is la la la la love

Little things that will change you forever
May appear from out of the blue
Making fools of everybody who don't understand
This is love
This is la la la la love
This is love
This is la la la la love

This is love, this is love
This is love, this is la la la la love

Since our problems have been our own creation
They also can be overcome
When we use the power provided free to everyone 
This is love
This is la la la la love
This is love
This is la la la la love

This is love
This is la la la la love
This is love
This is la la la la love
