the songs of Overdressed: Need Your Love
what you already knew…
Track Number: 2
Author(s): Andrew Osenga
what you probably didn’t know…
…this song has been tapped as one of the singles that will release to Christian Radio.
…Andy built this song around a groove he had in his head before Overdressed was even a twinkle in the band’s eye.
…much of the imagery in the song is intentional in comparing the love between us and Jesus with the love of a married couple, specifically the bridge: “you can change my name/you can make me someone new/love is always a promise/and your promises are true”
…Todd had the idea to name the song “When the Earth Around Me Shakes” after the last line in the song, and the band loved the idea. But (and there’s always a but) the label thought it was better to be intentional with the name of the song since it would be a radio single…so they went with “Need Your Love”.

Go Todd.
It would’ve been especially nice, given the slight over-usage of the word “Love” in the other song titles.
