"Love My Way" by The Psychedelic Furs

Released: September 1982
Album: Forever Now
Label: CBS
Genre: Post Punk, New Wave
Lyrics: @ Sing365


My phone will not stop ringing today. I'm receiving a barrage of text alerts, as well. One of my ringtones is set to "Love My Way" :-)
When the caller is one assigned to this particular tone, I don't mind it so much. This song NEVER gets old. I could listen to it on repeat all day. In fact, it is very rare that I don't immediately play it again(at least once), when I listen to it on my daily playlist.
I don't have any particular associations with this song. It doesn't evoke any special memories. I just happen to love it. I'm surprised more people didn't... It peaked at #30 on
Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks and at #44 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, respectively. It's album, Forever Now, wasn't certified gold until May 1991, a little over 8 1/2 years after is original release.
I think this is one of those songs you appreciate more and more as you get older. It starts to make more sense, maybe it echoes a bit of your life where it hadn't before. I see it now.
Love My Way is no longer a question -- Love My Way? No, it is a statement.
