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
