about

Leave the present behind and dance through warm memories of love with this joyful pop soul single. Recorded in a Brooklyn apartment with artist Elise Trouw and producer Quinn Devlin (Quinn Devlin and the Bridge Street Kings), Mr. Love takes us on a tour from the pits of loneliness to the sunny meadows of romance, guided by John’s smooth yet powerful voice and a sparkling full-band arrangement–complete with a Hammond B3 organ, 2 saxophones, and a 6-voice backing choir.

In lieu of a music video, the single ships with a stripped-down live video of Wise John and the band recording the track in Quinn’s living room. No click required, baby. That’s the Mr. Love mojo at work.

Mr. Love is the lead single from Wise John’s upcoming 4-track retro love song EP, The Mr. Love Sunset Show, which is the first piece of music he's recorded since he moved to New York and left his career as a computer engineer behind, to chase his dream of sharing music with the world.

lyrics

Who ate all your sad day sorrows?
Only Mr. Love can do
Took an endless tune of blue tomorrows
Wrote the hook to a dance for two
When it's cold outside
You'll feel warm in the light

Hey hey Mr. Love (x4)

The secret empty spaces
A no good lonely place in the atmosphere
You know you're goin' nowhere
A soul that drifts in wide and wasted mere
But something's near
A faded photograph
Forgotten songs you have been reminded of
By a face you saw today
Today

Who ate all your sad day sorrows?
Only Mr. Love can do
Took an endless tune of blue tomorrows
Wrote the hook to a dance for two
When it's cold outside
You'll feel warm in the light

Hey hey Mr. Love, hey hey

Ooh
That's alright

If one day love cannot be found
A silent film that once had sound
Do cry to your favorite scenes
Another gift Mr. Love brings
