“Love The Hell Out Of You” by Lewis Capaldi

The way this situation in “Love The Hell Out Of You” reads is, first of all, as being romantic in nature.  Secondly, the thesis sentiment revolves around the vocalist reasserting his dedication to the addressee, at a time when the latter is apparently feeling down or depressed. 

And Lewis Capaldi isn’t doing so simply because he’s in love. But also, as strongly implied in the second verse, when the situation was reversed and he was the one who needed a shoulder to lean on, she was there. Or as relayed in the chorus, he’s “gonna love the hell out of” her, because she “always loved the hell out of” him.  And the usage of the word “hell” also appears to have a symbolic significance, pointing to these primarily being inner struggles, i.e. their own “demons” and “monsters” which the parties had to respectively contend with, though with loving support, in their times of weakness.

“I’m gonna love the hell out of you
Take all the pain that you’re going through
I’ll bring you heaven if that’s what you need
‘Cause you’ve always loved the hell out of me”

Oswald from California says:

“For some time my wife’s smile gradually faded away and her laughter became a distant memory, I longed for her happiness to return. Her eyes, once filled with joy, were now welled up with tears she struggled to hold back. Despite her claims of being ‘fine’, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was wrong.

However, this morning, we listened to music in the living room as we sat on a couch, by chance Lewis’ ‘Love The Hell Out Of You’ started playing. The moment the song ended, she decided to open up to me, confessing that she had been at the hospital and had to battle with the fact that the doctors didn’t rule out the possibility of her suffering from cancer. It was an emotional moment for us, with our eyes filled with tears.

Yet, it was in that very moment that she realized she no longer had to face this battle alone. I reassured her that I would stand right beside her as we took every step together. And I could literally feel a huge weight off her shoulders. All that we have experienced in the past couple of weeks has made me appreciate the power of music even more. It’s amazing how a single song can have such an impact on us. I firmly believe that no matter what obstacles we encounter in the days to come, we will overcome them together and emerge stronger.”
