Love Is the Law (The Seahorses song)


"Love Is the Law" is the debut single of Britpop band The Seahorses, released from their album Do It Yourself. Written by ex-Stone Roses guitarist John Squire, the song contains a lengthy guitar solo at the end that was edited out for a single release.
"Love Is the Law" is the Seahorses' biggest hit and their only song to gain popularity outside the United Kingdom. It debuted and peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart in May 1997 and topped the Scottish Singles Chart the same week. The song also reached number 11 in Ireland and number 38 in Sweden. Outside Europe, "Love Is the Law" received some airplay on North American radio, and its music video aired on MTV and VH1. This exposure allowed the song to reach number three on the Canadian RPM Alternative 30 chart.
