Love is shaped by personal experiences and outside influences, and learning to trust again can be hard. Their second single from their album, “Why I Believe In Love,” The Jingle Jangle Morning explores that tension in “It’s Hard To Believe In Love.” The song is described as a lush, catchy indie folk-rock track with a definite country vibe.
It sets up a theme on how the demands of family and society can limit our ability to love, and how we can begin to remember what that feeling is like. The song also mirrors the bigger themes on the duo’s second record. Love, across the album, needs openness, trust, and a willingness to be vulnerable. It explores how emotional dependence and the pitfalls of trusting another person can shape individual and collective development.
“It’s Hard To Believe In Love” is a single-minded story of a relationship that does just that, exploring the difficulty of staying open when circumstances make it hard to connect. The single helps to present the duo’s interest in love as a conscious choice, rather than a simple emotion. The idea of getting back together, even after rough times, is fundamental.
