“Love Is Noise” is a song by English alternative rock band The Verve and is the second track on their fourth album, Forth.
Richard Ashcroft stated that lyrically the song is a take off of William Blake’s “And did those feet in ancient time”, commonly known as ‘Jerusalem’. Whereas in Blake’s song the title verse is “and did those feet in ancient time. Walk upon England’s mountains green?” Love is Noise asks: “Will those feet in modern times / Walk on soles that are made in China?”
“Love Is Noise” derived from another song off the album, “Columbo”. While recording that track Richard created a new loop on a vocoder and added it to the song. “Columbo” was practically a jam the band had been working on for a couple of days. After that loop was added, all the band started adding some stuff on to it until finally, it evolved into a different track.
