Tesla: "Love Song" (1989)

"Love Song" is a power ballad by the band Tesla, from the album The Great Radio Controversy, released in 1989. When the video was placed in heavy rotation on MTV, the song rocketed to number ten on the U.S. charts, becoming one of the group's biggest hits.

The music video was filmed in the band's home town of Sacramento at the former Cal Expo amphitheater. Old 93 Rock banners can be seen hanging in the back ground.

The single and video version removes the classical guitar intro, reducing the song length to about 4:09.


- Lyrics:

Alright! Now this next song, I'm gonna leave the stage, I'm gonna leave
you people with the man on the acoustic guitar, mr. Frankie Hannon

[Solo]

So you think that it's over, say your love has finally reached the end
Any time you call, night or day, I'll be right there for you
If you need a friend

It's gonna take a little time, I know, time is sure to mend your broken heart
But don't you even worry, Philadelphia, 'cos I know you'll find love again

Love is all around you, love is knockin' outside your door
Waitin' for you is this love made just for two
Keep an open heart and you'll find love again, I know

Love is all around you, yeah yeah, love is knockin' outside your door
Waitin' for you is this love made just for two
Keep an open heart and you'll find love again, I know

[Solo]

It's all around
It's all around

Love will find a way - darlin', love is gonna find a way
Find its way back to you
Love will find a way - so look around, open your eyes
Love is gonna find a way - love is gonna, love is gonna
Love is gonna, love is gonna find a way, yeah
Love will find a way - love is gonna find a way back to you, yeah yeah yeah

[Solo]

Love will find a way - darlin', love is gonna find a way
Find its way back to you
Love will find a way - oh just look around, look around
Open up your eyes now, honey
Love is gonna find a way - love is gonna, love is gonna
Love is gonna, love is gonna find a way, yeah
Love will find a way - love is gonna find a way back to you, yeah, I know

You know what Philadelphia?

I know, I know, I know, I know

Whoo! Thank you very much, Philadelphia!

Whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute! Remember that song we were gonna sing now?
Okay, yeah

Tear 'em up, cowboy!

We're gonna go back there with drums from our heads
So tonight's as good a night as any to try. Help us out
