For The Sake Of Love

I'm kind of sad We have been visiting with Sheryl Crow about her new album, "Threads" And she's been telling us the stories behind all of these amazing songs And I can't believe we're already to the last song on the album Featuring the incredible and incomparable voice of Vince Gill Talk about, "For the Sake of Love" I write, "For the Sake of Love," I wrote it actually years ago And I've held on to it 'cause I haven't known exactly what to do with it But It's a relationship song, and it's about having the world kind of- Whether it's the world at large, if you're a well-known person Or whether it's your world Pass judgment on who they think you should love And you know as parents, I'm sure we do it to our kids We declare who's right for our kids in one way or another I'm sure for people who are feel like whoever it is that they love isn't acceptable Which we see a lot in gay communities And especially with young kids having to come out to their parents I mean just the burden of loving who you love and feeling like people don't approve of it That's really what the song is about So I had it where it was just me on the song And In the 11th hour, I called Vince to sing on it Vince has been unbelievable, I mean he's- I call him, and he just always there for me And he's been there like through some really tough times for me too And he's just, you know, he's the consummate musician And he's- I don't even need to say it But like has one of the most unbelievable voices in history I mean, the guy's an unbelievable singer And it needed to have him on the bridge to really pull across the meaning That this is a song about two people who love each other It's sort of my version of, "Somewhere" Um, which was between Maria and Tony in West Side Story And that's having him on it, I think really cemented that Well, I don't think anybody would argue with me When I say that I think Vince Gill has one of the most amazing voices And to hear him and Sheryl Crow together, it's fantastic This is called, "For the Sake of Love" off Sheryl Crow's Threads album Which is available now
