about

Written by Matt Epp

The way we create our lives is informed by our experiences – what we know as possible. Even our imaginations can’t dream beyond what we have sensed in some way. But love doesn’t have those limits, and when we allow love to flow through us and animate our lives, we become great Life Artists and create experiences of love in the lives of others.

Watch the official music video on YouTube: youtu.be/djOakgKOdKM

The music video was shot on a couple phones one afternoon, on a whim. My idea was just to embrace the childlike silliness and joy that comes with being filled with love for Everything… It’s the small moments you live through, throwing off clothes and any pretense with abandon to illustrate the liberation that Love brings; not being loved as much as Being Love.

lyrics

You can toss it like a coin
You can roll it like a joint
You can watch it like a weathervane to see which way it points

You can grow it like a plant
You can hide it in your hat
You can mark it with an X on your pirate’s treasure map now

Woo hoo, you were made for love
Woo hoo, you were made for love

You can shine it like the sun
You can howl at the moon
You can get out of the way ‘cause this train is coming through

You can build it like a cabin
You can raise it like a roof
It’s the shelter and the storm and it’s raining down on you

Woo hoo, you were made for love
Woo hoo, you were made for love

You can paint it on your face
You can play it like a game
You can take it by the arm like a link upon a chain

Love is to the hammer what the wood is to the nail
It’s the water ‘neath the boat
It’s the wind up in your sails

Woo hoo, you were made for love
Woo hoo, you were made for love

You can right it if it’s wrong
You can write it in a song
You can sing it from a stage while the people sing along

Making angels in the snow
We create the things we know
And when there’s nowhere left to go
You were made for love

Love is what you came for
And that is what you’re made for
You were made for love
