Love You Now

Elkka “I Just Want To Love You”

The lyrical content of this song is limited to pretty much the title phrase repeated like a mantra, the rest of the music seeming to circle it as if to get every possible perspective on the emotion. Elkka’s arrangement borrows a bit of John Martyn’s “Small Hours” for ambience, his odd guitar tone adding a touch of tenderness and sadness that fits comfortably alongside the more straight forward ecstatic house elements of the track. The overall feeling is that of excitement, generosity, and an open-hearted willingness to be vulnerable. The song says exactly what it means, but then really lets you feel everything that words would fail.
