Written by Gord Maxwell & David Pavane, “Back to Love” is a song that evokes the spirit of music during the peace movement of the 1960s & 70s; a time when artists expressed ideals of equality, of dignity and respect for all. A time when music opposing division, violence and war served to unify “the people”.
"Back to Love" is a compelling song that asks a lot of questions, not the least of which is, "Have we lost sight of what we believe in?" While the vibe of the song may seem nostalgic, the lyrics speak from a contemporary perspective.
The chorus promotes a powerful message; one of unity. An anthem for our times and one that sums things up succinctly, “It’s time to come together now, and bring the whole world back to love”.
