Love Is Free To Interfere
Ozark Henry · This Last Warm Solitude [1999]
heading for gold
it's surfing the sunset
it's drinking my soul
-is there a god?
-o god, i don't know
would you care for peace
if you're hungry and cold?
There's not a single thing left to say
I know she knows I knowthat
there's not a single thing that can touch this
I know she knows I know that
Love is free to interfere
Wathever determines
what's bogging us down
let your eyes do the walking
and walk over mine
-Is there a god?
-O god, and if so
Would you care for peace
if you're hungry and cold?
Love is free to interfere
There's not a single thing left to say
I know she knows I know that
and there's not a single thing that can touch this
I know she knows I know that
I know she knows there's only you
Love Is Free To Interfere
Ozark Henry's 'Love Is Free To Interfere' appears on the 1999 album 'This Last Warm Solitude,' a collection that defines his early solo sound. The track exemplifies his signature blend of folk and country, characterized by acoustic instrumentation and introspective lyricism. Released during a period where Henry was establishing his identity outside of his earlier work with The Maccabees, the song reflects a matured songwriting voice focused on personal narrative and emotional vulnerability. Its inclusion on 'This Last Warm Solitude' highlights a shift toward more intimate, self-contained storytelling, distinguishing it from the band's earlier output. The recording captures the raw, unpolished aesthetic typical of Henry's independent releases, prioritizing lyrical honesty over production gloss. This work remains a key reference point for understanding his transition into a solo artist dedicated to exploring themes of relationships and solitude.
