Composer’s Note

Love Is is a lyrical expression of two people connected by one of the strongest forces in existence. Love can be interpreted in many different ways, hence the title Love Is. It’s a very open-ended statement. Love is pure, love is strong, love is...beautiful. This powerful emotion that everyone on this Earth feels, at some point in their lives, makes us do crazy things. But what we must never forget is that love can be anything we imagine it to be. Love is...up to you.
