Chains Of Love
Erasure · Acoustic Live [2006]
How can I explain when words get broken
Do you remember there was a time
When people on the street
Were walking hand in hand in hand
They used to talk about the weather
Making plans together, days would last forever
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby, break the chains of love
Do you remember once upon a time
When there were open doors, an invitation to the world
We were falling in and out with lovers
Looking out for others, our sisters and our brothers
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby, break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
How can I explain when there are few words I can choose
And how can I explain when words get broken
We used to talk about the weather
Making plans together, days would last forever
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby, break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby, break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby, break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love....
Chains Of Love - Erasure
Erasure's "Chains Of Love" stands as a defining track from their 2006 acoustic live album, showcasing the duo's signature blend of electronic pop and soulful vocals. Originally released in 1987, the song has evolved through decades of live performances, with this recording capturing the band's refined stage presence and emotional depth. The track exemplifies the group's ability to reinterpret classic synth-pop melodies with a raw, stripped-back approach that highlights their vocal harmonies and guitar work. As a staple of their discography, "Chains Of Love" remains a powerful representation of Erasure's enduring influence on the genre, bridging the gap between their early synth-pop era and their later acoustic explorations.
