About The Song
For Your Love is a timeless rock song by the English band The Yardbirds, released in 1965. It marked a significant departure from their blues-based roots, embracing a more pop-oriented sound that would define their early career. The song’s infectious melody and catchy lyrics, penned by Graham Gouldman, quickly propelled The Yardbirds to international stardom.
One of the defining features of “For Your Love” is the prominent use of the harpsichord, an unusual instrument in rock music at the time. This unconventional choice added a touch of sophistication and a unique sonic quality to the track. The song also showcases the talents of guitarist Eric Clapton, who delivers a memorable solo during the middle section.
The song’s success was a testament to The Yardbirds’ ability to adapt to the changing musical landscape of the mid-1960s. While some fans were disappointed by the band’s move away from their bluesy origins, “For Your Love” proved to be a commercial breakthrough that solidified their status as one of the leading bands of the British Invasion.

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
(For your love)
(For your love)
I’d give you everything and more, and that’s for sure
(For your love)
I’d bring you diamond rings and things right to your door
(For your love)
To thrill you with delight
I’ll give you diamonds bright
There’ll be things that will excite
To make you dream of me at night(For your love)
(For your love)
(For your love)For your love, for your love
I would give the stars above
For your love, for your love
I would give you all I could(For your love)
(For your love)
(For your love)
I’d give the moon if it were mine to give
(For your love)
I’d give the stars and the sun ‘fore I live
(For your love)
To thrill you with delight
I’ll give you diamonds bright
There’ll be things that will excite
To make you dream of me at night(For your love)
(For your love)
(For your love)
(For your love)
