A few weeks back (around the first of August) sott carried a 3 part mini-series on love, kindness and empathy, a call to return to the roots of how humans evolved and survived in the harsh prehistoric world. I should have saved the links, because now I just can't seem to find them.

In a sort of tribute to this theme, I'd like to share here one of my favorites from way back that I recently rediscovered. I hope you like it.

The Verb 'to Love' Lyrics
Todd Rundgren

Some people tell me that love is a feeling or a possession
Somehow it seems so cold
And when they say love is sweet does it mean that you eat it?
Maybe you drink it, does it fill up an empty hole?

I'm lookin' for a love and I may not find it
You know it doesn't mean a thing without some action behind it

Please come home, I can hear them calling
Please come home, please don't leave us all alone

Your mama and your papa are crying all alone
You better let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice
'Til we get the true version of the meaning of the verb 'To Love'

What does it mean to love?
And when somebody needs love, do they spend some money?
Say something funny, ask for some tenderness?
And when you wanna touch of love, do you lie on your back?
Stand on your head, how do you feel it best?

I'm looking for a love with no strings attached
To take me like I am, that's the only catch

Please come home, I can hear them calling
Please come home, please don't leave us all alone

Your wife and your lover are crying all alone
You better let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice
'Til we learn the true version of the meaning of the verb 'To Love'

Does it mean any more, the more you talk about it?
Is it anymore real if you jump around and shout it?
I'm sick and tired of hearing 'bout everyone without it and

Too much talkin' sends me walkin'
Night is falling and everybody's calling for love

Everybody's lookin' for their one and only
It's only just a game 'cause they're scared to be lonely

Please come home, I can hear them calling […]
Please come home, please don't leave us all alone
Your brothers and your sisters are crying all alone
You got let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice

'Til we get the true version of the meaning of the verb
'To Love' What does it mean to love?

Love
So many things I've got to tell you
But I'm afraid I don't know how
Cause there's a possibility
You'll look at me differently
Love
Ever since the first moment I spoke your name
From then on I knew that by you being in my life
Things were destined to change cause

Chorus:
Love
So many people use your name in vain
Love
Those who have faith in you sometimes go astray
Love
Through all the ups and downs the joys and hurts
Love
For better or worse I still will choose you first

Verse 2:
Many days I've longed for you
Wanting you
Hoping for the chance to get to know you
Longing for your kiss
For your touch, your feel, your Presence
Many nights I've cried from the things you do
Felt like I could die from the thought of losing you
I know that you're real
With no doubts and no fears
And no questions

Chorus:
Love
So many people use your name in vain
Love
Those who have faith in you sometimes go astray
Love
Through all the ups and downs the joys and hurts
Love
For better or worse I still will choose you first

Verse 3:
At first you didn't mean that much to me
But now I know that you're all I need
The world looks so brand new to me
Now that I found love
Everyday I live for you
And everything that I do
I do it for you
What I say is how I feel so believe it's true
You got to know I'm true

Chorus(x2):
Love
So many people use your name in vain
Love
Those who have faith in you sometimes go astray
Love
Through all the ups and downs the joys and hurts
Love
For better or worse I still will choose you first
