Love is Great, is an uplifting song that reflects the band’s philosophy. Fifty years after John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged their bed-in, asking the world to give peace a chance, it’s a message that’s needed more than ever. “The only thing you can do is fight hate with love,” says the bands singer Craig Lyons . “Realise we’re all different and that’s what makes the world a special place.”

A hypnotic Calypso - Reggae vibed serenade that points out the dangers of addiction to social media, as well as taking a tongue in cheek swipe at the abundance of conspiracy theories in the world.

The upbeat happy feel of this song disguises the dark lyrical content in the same way bluesman Mississippi John Hurt did with his song Payday which has an uplifting melody but outlines a classic blues story of love lost, disillusionment, money problems and abandon.

The new song from Sydney-based The Marvellous Hearts uses that classic technique of John Hurt and many others. People said they did not like the devil music so often these artists chose happy feels and merged that with some dark lyrical content.

The Lovesick Ramblin Blues started as an acoustic blues tune with a groove on an E chord.

Craig sent the track to George who added a kick arse bass line & some intense guitar tracks and the song came to life with a rockin White Stripes / Black Keys feel!
This track also features a full on Valved up harmonica solo in 3rd Position using a vintage Astatic JT30 bullet mic through an old school Fender Princeton

A final mix was done by Phil Punch at Electric Avenue then mastered at Studio 301 by Steve Smart.

Lyrically it takes a comic approach pointing the finger at Love addiction & Co-dependancy.
