“The point of the song is, you know, that we are fairly well damaged by the legacy of the Romantic poets - that we think of love as this, thing that is accompanied by strings and it’s a force for good, and if something bad happens then that’s not love. And the therapeutic tradition that I come from - also says that it’s not love if it feels bad. I don’t know so much about that. I don’t know that the Greeks weren’t right. I think they were - that love can eat a path through everything. That it will destroy a lot of things on the way to its own objective, which is just an expression of itself…that to me is something worth commenting on in the hopes of undoing a lot of what I perceive as terrible damage in the way people talk about this - love is benign, comfortable force. It’s not that. It’s wild.”
