My father once told me about agape love. In his introduction and explanation of agape as an idea and practice of true unconditional love, he mentioned a very commonly held misconception. This misconception resided in the “why,” the fundamental reasoning for the presence of love itself. In its frequent justification, “I love you” would precede, “because of…” which would often precede a list of conditions, sometimes physical, sometimes emotional, intellectual, etc. Despite the endearing nature of any of these conditions, they all nonetheless, revealed the love that they described as conditional. They were reminiscent of either previous, present, or predicted future conditions of the relationships. My father proposed that agape, or unconditional love be based on one’s ever changing self, and the unwavering partnering of that, to that same self-manifested as another. “I love you not because of you, but because of “I,” I love you because “I am,” my father corrected. He then went on to advise that if I approached love as an inward process first, there-by deepening a love “myself,” to a love of “self”, and then approached the love of another through that understanding, those processes, whether kindly, romantic, or platonic, would be stronger and have more longevity.
The clarity in my father’s ponderings on self-love, drove me to name this song, inspired by them, Lavender. Though the song sonically emits lavender, it was the etymology and history of the word lavender that resonated with me and solidified the songs name. Lavender, a name for a flower as well as a color, potentially, comes from Latin “lavare", to wash, reflecting the plants historic usage as an aromatic agent in washing fabrics.
My father’s thoughts on self-love returned to me many years later in moments when I needed to withdraw from the commotion and cloudiness of relationships built on seeking love externally. In my withdrawal and cultivation of self-love, I felt clear and cleansed. I felt washed.

My wife and I used this as our wedding song, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and now I will always be reminded of my vowels to her!

There goes my love
Five hundred minutes
Til I get home
There goes my love
Love when you're in it
And I'm not alone (yeah)
There goes my love
There ain't no limit
To holding on (mmm)
There goes my love
We gon' make it
Ten thousand hours
Yeah (mmm)

[Chorus]
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Baby
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Ten thousand hours

[Verse 2]
There goes
We could be, we could be
There goes the future here
There goes the present
Oh what a presence now
We don't even [?]
No matter what
I love you very much
You love me very much
I love you very much
No matter what
I give you my life
No matter what you do
Cos I bow to you
You are the one
The best of me I could never be
The recipe for the better me
And give a new love


[Chorus]
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Baby
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Ten thousand hours

[Verse 3]
World that's so good
But there's no love that's so strong
Still, still, still
So easy to love you very much
Even in the rush
When everything is rushed
You slow breathing in the mist of pain
Shows me how to embrace it
And love it all the same
My love

[Chorus]
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Baby
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Ten thousand hours

My fiancé and I are getting married on Dec 13, 2020 after 7 years of back and forth fighting for this relationship and to keep our family whole.
This is our song.
Always has been and we can’t wait to dance to it.
We praise Jesus for music like this.
Prophetic and timeless. 🔥🎶
