We Love You

"We Love You" is a rock song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, first released as a single in the UK by The Rolling Stones on 18 August 1967, with "Dandelion" as the B-side. It reached the top ten in Britain, peaking at No. 8, but only made it to No. 50 in the US, where "Dandelion" (which reached No. 14) was promoted as the A-side. The song features uncredited backing vocals by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

This single's two tracks would be the final Stones recordings receiving a production credit for band manager Andrew Loog Oldham.

Background

Allen Ginsberg was in London for a pro-marijuana rally in Hyde Park. He met Jagger at McCartney's house, and Jagger invited the Beat poet to that night's session with McCartney and Lennon to record uncredited backing vocals for "We Love You". Ginsberg, waving his Shiva beads and a Tibetan oracle ring, conducted the singers from the other side of the studio glass to the tempo of the stuttering Mellotron track. "They looked like little angels," he wrote later of the Stones and Beatles, "like Botticelli Graces singing together for the first time."

We Love You (album)

We Love You is the debut album by New York band Semi Precious Weapons. The album was originally released as a free download. However, when the group signed with Razor & Tie Records in 2008, they re-released the album under their new label. Several of the songs became live favourites, including the eponymous track and "Magnetic Baby". These songs, along with several other tracks from the record, were re-recorded with the band's new line-up for their follow up album entitled You Love You.

We Love You (Combichrist album)

We Love You is the sixth studio album by the American electro-industrial band Combichrist. The album was released on 24 March 2014, and includes the singles "From My Cold Dead Hands" and "Maggots at the Party".

A video for "Maggots at the Party" was released to YouTube on April 1, 2014.

Reception

The Revolver magazine's reviewer wrote that Combichrist's music should rather be labelled "Electronic Death Metal than Electronic Dance Music" and observed a "nihilistic" attitude. According to the Sonic Seducer, the album is a return to Combichrist's original electronic style. The song "Denial" was interpreted as a homage to Nine Inch Nails while "The Evil In Me" was seen as a reference to Johnny Cash.

We Love You peaked at #39 in the German Media Control Charts.

    We Love You

    by: Combichrist

    We welcome you to this city of hate
    Where we're blind
    We clash in the streets
    You hear the sound of broken bones
    And we'll say: it's alright
    Nothing really matters here
    We're dying by default
    You're searching for serenity
    You're too late
    'Cause there is nothing left in another world
    Another world is rising and we're doomed
    To face our fate
    The evil in me is already there
    No use to fuel that fire
    Don't guide me to a throne
    There is nothing left to admire
    The evil in me is already there
    We're not defined by your actions in this world
    Only words
    We take from those who need and stuff it down our throats
    In all might
    Say my little crazy but we've done it all before
    We'll repeat til' there's nothing left
    We say we're sorry but we're really not
    We're blinded by a pile of gold with hands in blood
    The evil in me is already there
    No use to fuel that fire
    Don't guide me to a throne
    There is nothing left to admire
    The evil in me is already there
    The evil in me is already there
