The Power Of Love LINKS ABOUT THIS SONG music/lyrics: Huey Lewis, John Victor Colla, Christopher John Hayes release date of this version: August 27, 2023 length: 3 min 54 sec vocals: Chris Tong karaoke arrangement: KaraFun Karaoke My first foray into singing "power pop / blue-eyed soul" is this cover of The Power of Love, the huge 1985 hit by Huey Lewis and the News. It was written for the soundtrack of the blockbuster film, Back to the Future. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 1986 Academy Awards. It has a fantastic synthesizer hook driving the song, its melodies are soul grooves, and its lyrics deliver a generous dose of wisdom as well (about love as a veritable Force of God, that you may feel "with a little help from above") — a real delight to sing! LYRICS The power of love is a curious thing Make a one man weep, make another man sing Change a hawk to a little white dove More than a feeling, that's the power of love Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream Make a bad one good, make a wrong one right Power of love will keep you home at night Don't need money Don't take fame Don't need no credit card to ride this train It's strong and it's sudden Can be cruel sometimes But it might just save your life That's the power of love That's the power of love First time you feel it, it might make you sad Next time you feel it, it might make you mad But you'll be glad baby when you've found That's the power that makes the world go 'round Don't need money, Don't take fame Don't need no credit card to ride this train It's strong and it's sudden, can be cruel sometimes But it might just save your life They say that all in love is fair Yeah, but you don't care But you'll know what to do When it gets hold of you And with a little help from above You feel the power of love You feel the power of love Can you feel it Mmm hmmm. . . [INSTRUMENTAL] Don't need money Don't take fame Don't need no credit card to ride this train It's tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel You won't feel nothin' till you feel You feel the power You'll feel the power of love That's the power That's the power of love You feel the power of love You feel the power of love You feel the power of love |
