Even before seeing the CD cover I associated this song with flying a jet plane. Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing Space Cowboy during downtime at work recently, but I can really hear this song blaring from the cockpit of an aircraft driven at breakneck speeds by an enraptured 13 year old with reckless abandon. His head doesn’t even reach above the console so all he can do is look straight up at clouds blasting by, and open it up.

Aside from that, I love the title of the song. I think most people would say that the opposite of love is hate, but if anything I think it’s indifference. Hate is often just passion misplaced, misunderstood, or injured. You have to really care about something to love or hate it; it has to matter. Sometimes we mistake one for the other, and sometimes we vacillate between them. Life is a love/hate relationship; maybe the important thing is just to feel.
