Cliche romantic sentiment aside, I think it's significant that Pete "My Generation" Townshend wrote and recorded this chirpy peppy ode to a spiritual kind of love. It's sung, not from the perspective of a lover, but from a kind, loving God, and regardless of your actual religious beliefs, I think that's a nice expression. "I have the only key to your heart / I can keep you from falling apart." It's very sincere, very earnest, and I like the idea of putting material pursuits aside and getting back to that all-encompassing feeling of spiritual love.
I dig it.
