Love & Hate es una canción del cantante y compositor británico Michael Kiwanuka que forma parte de su segundo álbum de estudio, también titulado Love & Hate, que fue publicado en 2016 y está compuesta por el propio Kiwanuka junto a Brian Joseph Burton y Dean Cover.
La canción habla de las dudas, de los amores que duelen, de ese tira y afloja entre sentir esperanza y resignación y su melodía es cálida y envolvente, con unos coros que acompañan la voz rasgada de Michael.
Este álbum Love & Hate recibió mucho reconocimiento por su mezcla de soul vintage con una visión moderna, y la canción que le da título destaca como uno de los momentos clave del disco.
Standing nowCalling all the people here to see the showCalling for my demons now to let me goI need something, give me something wonderful
I believeShe won't take me somewhere I'm not supposed to beYou can't steal the things that God has given meNo more pain and no more shame and misery
You can't take me downYou can't break me downYou can't take me down
You can't take me downYou can't break me downYou can't take me down
Love and hateHow much more are we supposed to tolerate?Can't you see there's more to me than my mistakesSometimes I get this feeling - makes me hesitate
I believeShe won't take me somewhere I'm not supposed to beYou can't steal the things that God has given meNo more pain and no more shame and misery
You can't take me downYou can't break me downYou can't take me down
You can't break me downYou can't take me downYou can't break me down
I can see a place of troubleAnd I'm on the verge
For the love of everybodyI need something more
Now I feel some days of troubleI'm in the house of war
For the love of everybodyLook behind the wall
Standing nowCalling all the people here to see the showCalling for my demons now to let me goI need something, give me something wonderful
