"'All Out of Love'" is a song by British/Australian soft rock duo Air Supply, released as a single in 1980 from their fifth studio album 'Lost in Love'. The song was written by Graham Russell and Clive Davis. The song's lyrics describe the emotional state of a man desperately trying to win back the love of his life after the couple's separation caused by a wrong done by the man against the woman he's in love with. In the United States, it reached number two on the Hot 100 (blocked from the top spot by both "Upside Down" by Diana Ross and "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen) and number 5 on the Adult Contemporary chart. In the UK, the song reached number 11 and is their only top 40 hit in that country. It placed 92nd in VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Love Songs" in 2003.

History



The chorus was originally "I'm all out of love, I want to arrest you". However, Clive Davis thought that Americans would not understand what that meant so he suggested "I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you". This is why he has a songwriting credit.

The song is known for vocalist Russell Hitchcock holding the final note for 16.2 seconds. This was the longest-held note for a male pop singer until 1983, when Sheriff lead vocalist Freddy Curci held the final note of "When I'm with You" for 19.4 seconds.

Reception



'Cash Box' said that "a dynamite chorus and swelling crescendo insure hit status.."

Music video

The music video is set in a desert. In the first half of the song, Donalds sings the song blindfolded to deserters also blindfolded. In between, shades are also displayed and a bowl is filled with water. From the second half, he sings without a blindfold and draws the attention of a resident to the end.
