Can't Get Enough of Your Love (C+C Special Edition Mix)
Taylor Dayne · Soul Dancing (Expanded Edition)
A joyful love song with nothing deeper to say, and nothing harmful either.
Where the words land
Signal: Edifying, leaning worth weighing.
What do these signals mean?
- Edifying: Points the heart toward God, truth, hope, or love.
- Worth Weighing: Real good and real concern together. Test it before you take it in.
- Strained: Strains against Scripture: leans toward what could dull or mislead.
- At Odds: At odds with Scripture: celebrates what it warns against. Little here builds up.
Weighed against Scripture
“The more you give, the more I want”
“Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all. Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned.”
Scripture itself celebrates the intensity and insatiability of romantic love between two people; this song's longing fits that tradition of exuberant devotion.
“It took me all of my life to find you”
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.”
The gratitude for having found a beloved partner echoes the Proverbs' affirmation of finding a good spouse as a gift.
The song as a whole
“Enjoy life with your beloved wife all the days of the fleeting life that God has given you under the sun — all your fleeting days. For this is your portion in life and in your labor under the sun.”
The song's whole posture of delighting in a beloved companion mirrors this call to enjoy love and life with the one you cherish.
In short
This is a joyful, uncomplicated celebration of romantic and physical love, the kind of giddy devotion that doesn't try to be anything more than what it is. There's no darkness, despair, or self-worship here, just delight in a partner. It doesn't reach toward God, but it isn't hostile to Him either; it simply lives in the human experience of being in love.
- Lyrical content
Romantic and physically affectionate but not graphic; focused on devotion and desire for a partner.
- Spiritual posture
The song is entirely horizontal, wrapped up in human romantic love with no reach toward God or deeper meaning, but it isn't despairing or self-exalting either.
- Apparent intent
A celebratory pop love song meant to express overwhelming joy and gratitude toward a romantic partner.
What do these ratings mean?
- Lyrical content, what the words say on the surface. Clean: nothing coarse, sexual or violent. Mild: a trace of it, by allusion or a rare word. Strong: profanity, sex or violence in plain words. Explicit: graphic, or sin held up to admire.
- Spiritual posture, where the song's heart points. God-honoring: toward God, truth or hope. Searching: honestly reaching or wrestling toward truth, without arriving. Neutral: spiritually indifferent; neither reaches nor rejects. Dark: despairing, nihilistic, self-exalting or hostile to God.
- Apparent intent, what the song is for. Edifying: worship, encouragement, honest lament. Cathartic: letting grief, anger or longing out, told honestly. Ambiguous: hard to say what the song is for. Harmful: celebrates evil, mocks faith or draws toward sin.
