Love’s Gone South
Love’s Gone South
This song started out with Chris’s hook ‘Love’s Gone South’ and his idea that the girl had moved south, leaving her guy behind. The literal and figurative interpretation of “gone south” seemed like a good thing to work with…It took some time to come up with the idea that the couple had taken a trip to Miami together and she had fallen in love with it and left him. But once we had that, the idea for the pictures (the ‘double prints’ line…a JP gem), Raul, the lifeguard, and her belated postcard, all flowed nicely. When we reached that point, the story was basically complete; we just had to fill in the words.
