"With This Love" is a song composed by Peter Gabriel, an English musician, singer, and songwriter. The song was released on his eighth studio album, "Up," on September 23, 2002. The album was Gabriel's first full-length release of new material since 1992's "Us." The song is a slow, introspective ballad that features Gabriel's signature vocals and a simple, yet powerful piano melody. The lyrics are a reflection on the power of love and the importance of human connection. Gabriel sings, "With this love, I can change the world / With this love, I can make a stand / With this love, I can climb the mountain / With this love, I can hold your hand." The song is divided into two distinct movements. The first movement is a slow, mournful introduction that sets the tone for the rest of the song. The second movement is more upbeat and features a more complex arrangement, with additional instrumentation and a more driving rhythm. One of the most notable characteristics of "With This Love" is its use of dynamics. The song starts off very quiet and subdued, with Gabriel's vocals barely above a whisper. As the song progresses, the volume and intensity gradually increase, until the final chorus, where Gabriel's vocals soar over a full band arrangement. Overall, "With This Love" is a powerful and emotional song that showcases Gabriel's talents as a songwriter and performer. Its message of love and connection is universal and timeless, making it a standout track on an already impressive album.
