On 13th of October 2024 in Prague was the last concert I was at with my best friend, he passed not long ago after this concert. It made me so happy to see us together in the video clip. He indeed showed me what true love is.

Laibach reminding us all once again that _there's no need to run and hide, it's a wonderful, wonderful life._

[ЖуковКонстантин-бю]

And yet again Laibach made a declaration from a simple old pop song. Incredible.

[danielbeller]

Every tune Laibach does, becomes a masterpiece. This is why I follow and love your art for the last 45 years.

[chez_dracian]

The plot twist at the end of the video is just incredible

[worshipper]

Laibach goes pop! And does it damned good! This should be in the charts!

[OliFant]

Some shots were taken during the Brutal Assault festival in Czech Republic, August 2024. It was incredible to witness thousands of metalheads clapping along and singing along this! Truly heartwarming and it left me grinning from ear to ear. Thank you Laibach!

[ordningsmannen]

If I was told in the 80s that I would be clapping my hands in a I Want To Know What Love Is video, I would be deeply worried.

[thehyena]

This right here, is why Laibach is the best band ever honestly.

[meshugeah]

Laibach is rock´n´roll
Laibach is love.

[Ofbt]

the irony is unbelievable, the mocking at mainstream toxic ideology.... you, laibach, are one of the most intelligent bands ever. excellent work on this video.

[nishidohellhillsruler]

Finally a cover of this song I could actually sing to the woman of my dreams.

[ilduy]

salam from Ufa & Kazan !!! We love your songs!!!!

[goulvenlagree]

You're so incredible performers. Great cover.

[DJ_Pigg]

I love the story behind this cover version so I'm glad you've released this as a single. What makes it even better is that I'm visible in a bit shot in Copenhagen at the 4 minute mark! Thanks for including us fans... hope to see you again soon. Whenever that is it'll be my 20th Laibach show!

[klaudia-tq]

This is such an intelligent video. Thank you.❤

[przemek]

Jeden z najlepszych coverów w historii!

[DorlesanMcArthur]

The hidden hope?
Despite the irony and critique, Laibach often leaves room for ambiguous hope. Their
transformation of "I Want to Know What Love Is" into something distant might still suggest that even in a dehumanized world, there's a desire to rediscover love in its true form.
In essence, Laibach's cover is both a critique and a meditation on the state of love in modern society. It's a call to question whether we've lost the essence of love amidst political manipulation and cultural decay, and whether it's possible to make love "great" in a world where everything is commodified.

Laibach, Piss takers extraordinaire. I have loved them since Let it Be.

[LeHibouDéjanté]

Un groupe que je suis depuis des années, je constate une fois de plus leur belle évolution... Vous etes géniaux !!!! Merci pour tout !!!!
