"Death of Love" by James Blake

Seems apropos that love dies in an office, among men in suits, where decisions about humans are made in a void outside of humanity. It's "Death of Love" by James Blake, live with the London Welsh Male Voice Choir. From his new album "Trying Times" out on March 13, 2026.


I don't know how we got here
I think we might be sleeping
I think we might be walking
To the death of love

It never seemed so hard
To say what you really mean
When everything you have seen is from above
It's the death of love (death of)

If we're on an island all the time
And it's yours and it is mine
It's the death of love

Is there no good faith?
Is our love misplaced?

I don't know how we got here
But everything feels different
People are losing interest
In the best of love

It never seemed so hard
To say what you really mean
When everything you have seen is from above
It's the death of love (death of)

If we're on an island all the time
And it's yours and it is mine
It's the death of love

Don't leave me behind
Over one bad hour
Sometimes we come back empty handed
Like bees from plastic flowers
We can't follow you where you're going
We can't follow you where you're going
We can't follow you where you're planning to go
To the death of love

I think we might be sleeping
I think we might be walking
To the...
To the death of love
