Jack White “Love Interruption”
The verses of “Love Interruption” are all about wanting a love that rattles you out of dull routine and forces you out of your comfort zone. Jack White chews on those thoughts in these lines, and spits it all out in the chorus, which disavows this sort of love as a corrupting influence that derails his life. Both sides of the song seem a bit irrational, but what else could it be? This is about yearning for passion and intensity, and reckoning with the reality that being reckless with your emotions is just as likely to bring transcendental thrills or heart-rending disaster. The unspoken point in this song: It’s always worth the risk.
