I am a fan of White Stripes & the understated songs that suggest something simpler, but the work of Jack White is not for the faint of heart, speaking of murder plots & doors slamming on fingers, to lost friends & fresh enemies.
Love Interruption is not a song that needs a video, & the grey tones & a simple set in the video does not seem very compelling. What becomes the focal point is not the camera work, but the throaty sound of Ruby Amanfu mixed White’s vocals, a combination that shouldn't work, & almost doesn't. Love Interruption works for me in the midst of winter skies & winter sickness & winter regrets.
I want love to
roll me over slowly
stick a knife inside me,
& twist it all around.
I want love to
grab my fingers gently
slam them in a doorway
put my face into the ground
I want love to
murder my own mother
& take her off to somewhere
like hell or up above.
I want love to
change my friends to enemies,
change my friends to enemies
& show me how it's all my fault.
I wont let love disrupt,
corrupt or interrupt me
I wont let love disrupt,
corrupt or interrupt me
I wont let love disrupt,
corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.
I want love to
walk right up & bite me
grab ahold of me & fight me
leave me dying on the ground.
& I want love to
split my mouth wide open
& cover up my ears,
& never let me hear a sound.
I want love to,
forget that you offended me
or how you have defended me,
when everybody tore me down.
Yeah I want love to
change my friends to enemies,
change my friends to enemies
& show me how it's all my fault.
I wont let love disrupt,
corrupt or interrupt me
I wont let love disrupt,
corrupt or interrupt me
I wont let love disrupt,
corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.
White
