Wikipedia article
"'Day Eleven: Love'" (often referred to as just "Love") is the fourth single by Ayreon, released on 2004, from their album 'The Human Equation'.
Music
The song follows the main story of the album. On the eleventh day, upon 'Reason's suggestion, 'Me' gives in and returns to the day when he met his 'Wife'. It was a Friday night at a dance party of some sort. 'Me' and 'Wife' dance, while 'Passion' and 'Love' allude to the fact that it was love at first sight. However, there are morbid indications from 'Agony' ("Remember your father, you're just like him") and 'Fear' ("Nobody loved you, nobody will"; however, 'Fear' is more hopeful in this aspect). 'Passion' and 'Pride', throughout, in their own way, encourage 'Me'.
Music Video
A music video was shot for the song, but it is actually a promotional video for the album. It presents the vocalists who sing on the album, and also features footages of the recording of the album, as well as videos of Arjen meeting some of the vocalists.
