It's Love

A 1:29 miniature, track 8 of the album of the same name.
The Softies, from It's Love (1995)

It is the shortest track on the album, and the writing is credited to the Softies. The album was recorded in Sacramento in July 1995 with Dustin Reske. We found no statement from the band on what the song is about; KEXP describes it only as coasting like taking a sailboat downriver, and Sbragia has said she wrote about unrequited love in the 1990s and still does, which is not tied to this song. Setlist.fm counts 11 plays, tied with "Hello Rain" as the most played Softies song on the site, among about 27 shows, mostly from 2024 and 2025; it opened the set at the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco on October 25, 2024 and was also played at Songbyrd in Washington on October 4, 2024 and 4th Street Vine in Long Beach on October 28. We found no charts, video, covers or samples for it.
