The Mountain Goats - Love Love Love Meaning
Love Love Love Lyrics
When it all went wrong
And Joseph's brother sold him down the river
For a song
And Sonny Liston rubbed some tiger balm in his glove
some things you do for money
and some you do for love love love
Raskalnikov felt...

Here the narrator uses different examples of extreme actions taken by people going through tough times. Everything we do is driven by our desires for different reasons, be it fame lust wealth or for a future outcome.
King Saul—first King of Israel in the Hebrew Bible, killed himself.
Joseph’s brothers—envied the paternal favoritism given to Joseph so they beat him then sold him into slavery.
Sonny Liston—heavyweight boxing champion in the 1950’s that died from drug overdose.
Raskolnikov—A dynamic stoic fictional character in “Crime & punishment” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
Kurt Cobain—frontman of Nirvana found dead from heroin and gunshot to his head.
All of these are examples of people driven by greatness, fear and love. Our narrator warns that LOVE can guide you irrationally to see things differently and less clear; its in these moments we make huge decisions that can have heartbreaking consequences
