Love Hurts Lyric
Love Hurts Lyric
" Love Hurts " is the name of a song written and composed by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. First recorded by The Everly Brothers in July 1960, the song is best known from a 1975 international hit version by the rock band Nazareth.
The song was introduced in December 1960 as an album track on A Date with The Everly Brothers , but was never released as a single (A-side or B-side) by the Everlys. The first hit version of the song was by Roy Orbison, who earned Australian radio play, hitting the Top Five of that country's singles charts in 1961. A recording by Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons was included on Parsons' posthumously released Grievous Angel album. After Parsons' 1973 death, Harris made the song a staple of her repertoire, and has included it in her concert set lists from the 1970s to the present. Harris has since re-recorded the song twice.
The most successful recording of the song was by hard rock/heavy metal band Nazareth, who took the song to the U.S. Top 10 in 1975 and hit number one in Norway and the Netherlands. The song was covered by Cher in 1991.
Roy Orbison version
Roy Orbison covered "Love Hurts" in 1961 and issued it as the B-side to "Running Scared". While "Running Scared" was an international hit, the B-side only picked up significant airplay in Australia. Consequently, chart figures for Australia show "Running Scared"/"Love Hurts" as a double A-Side, both sides peaking at #5. This makes Orbison's recording of "Love Hurts" the first version to be a hit.
Nazareth version
Performed as a rock ballad, the Nazareth version was the most popular version of the song and the only rendition of "Love Hurts" to become a big hit single, reaching #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1976. As part of the "Hot Tracks (EP)" it also reached #15 in the UK in 1977. Nazareth's version was an international hit (reaching #8 in the US, #15 in the UK, and #1 in Canada and Norway), and remains the best-known recording of the song. The Nazareth single was so successful in Norway that it charted for 57 consecutive weeks on the Norwegian charts (VG-lista Top 10), including 14 weeks at #1.
A later recording by Nazareth, featuring the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, peaked at #89 in Germany.
The lyrics of the song remained unchanged on all versions up until Nazareth's 1975 recording, where the original line "love is like a stove/it burns you when it's hot" was changed to "love is like a flame/it burns you when it's hot". The Nazareth track has been featured in the movies Dazed and Confused , Detroit Rock City , Together and Halloween , among others. It was edited for use in a late-'90s Gatorade TV commercial. In 2009, it was used in a TV commercial for the Nissan Altima.
Cher cover
Cher also recorded the song in 1975 but did not have a hit with it at the time. She recorded a second version in 1991, which became a minor hit in the UK and a substantial hit in Norway, where the Nazareth version had enjoyed its greatest chart success a decade and a half earlier.
Live performances
Cher performed the song on the following concert tours:
- Heart of Stone Tour (performed towards the end of the tour in Australia only, before her studio recording)
- Love Hurts Tour
- The Farewell Tour (sung on the fifth leg, the sixth leg, the seventh leg, the eighth leg and the ninth leg of the tour. The song was replaced by "The Way of Love" on the final show of the tour)
- Cher at the Colosseum (sung on the first night, then readded during the third leg in place of "The Way of Love")
