Annotationen
Soul beginnt nun seriösere Töne anzuschlagen, was auch in diesem Liebesduett spürbar wird: Der Song betont, dass keine Schwierigkeit zu gross ist, um für die Partnerin da zu sein. Hier werden nun Schwierigkeiten der realen Welt thematisiert, die einer sozialen Verbindung im Weg stehen können. Das ist der halbe Weg zum Soul als Soundtrack für die Bürgerrechtsbewegung, es ist der halbe Weg von einer «I-Love-You»-Botschaft zu «We are all Soul Brothers». Schon bald wird Marvin Gaye What’s going on singen und die Tagespolitik thematisieren.
