I first came across this song on Concrete Loop a few days ago, and immediately new that gay men will be tripping over their own fabulosity to dance to this song. The product of a trans-Atlantic collaboration between the U.S. not-quite-diva Kelly Rowland, and the creative genius of French DJ David Guetta, the song relies on the same tired beats, rhythms, and synth foundations that have made techno nearly indistinguishable from within the genre.
But the song is in ascendance. Any song that croons over the complications of love laid on a bed of danceable beats is a win for gay men, partly because this is the narrative of the western [ho]mo: that no love is greater than their own dance party. Well, that's true for me at least.
Watch out--this song will spread like wildfire. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Its complicated, it always is
That’s just the way it goes
Feels like the way it is so long for this
I wonder if it shows
And under water now i can breath
It never felt so good
Cause i can feel it coming over me
I wouldn’t stop it if i could
Chorus
When love takes over yeaaah
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over yeaaah
‘Cause something’s here tonight
Give me a reason I gotta know
Do you feel it too?
Cant you see me here on overload
And this time I blame you
Hmm looking out for you to hold my hand
It feels like I could fall
Now love me right, like I know you can
We could lose it all
Chorus
When love takes over yeaaah
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over yeaaah
Cause something’s here tonight
(tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight ....)
I'll be loving all the time, it's true
Cause I want to make it right with you
When love takes over, when love takes over
When love takes over, when love takes over ...
Over, over, over ....
Chorus
When love takes over yeaaah
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over yeaaah
‘Cause something’s here tonight
