Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats Share “Love Don’t” Single [Listen]

86

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats offered another preview of their forthcoming album, The Future, on Friday with the new single, “Love Don’t”. The Future is out on November 5th via Stax Records.

From the pounding opening drum rhythm reminiscent of the late Charlie Watts, “Love Don’t” is reminiscent of the classic Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats sound. The vintage R&B stylings are jolted along by Rateliff’s powerful vocals, which only grow more and more intense as the song chugs along to a fiery conclusion.

The Future marks something of a reunion for Rateliff & The Night Sweats, who spent 2020 apart as the frontman toured behind his solo folk album, And It’s Still Alright. The lead single for The Future, “Survivor“, arrived last month and showcased the group’s ever-evolving sound. With “Love Don’t”, however, the ensemble displays more of The Past.

“I look at the album overall as a big question,” Rateliff said of The Future upon the album’s announcement. “When I was writing the record we were in the middle of a pandemic and our future looked pretty bleak. I just continue to try to write from a place of hope. Then my own neurosis, and maybe being a libra gets in the way, and I can’t make up my mind. There is this constant back and forth battle in me personally and I am sure that comes out in my writing.”

“Love Don’t” Lyrics

Lately I’ve been feeling this way tell me if I’m wrong
Only thing I felt in weeks, is when I leaned in to know

Singing, Love don’t treat ya like that
Nope when it’s around
Love won’t treat you like that
No honey no

Hey Mama, can’t stand around and sing
Hey baby, where we gonna be
Hey Mama, I’m tired of what I see and I cant bother to wait if people don’t want to change

Saying, Love don’t treats ya like that
Don’t tell me I don’t know
I know that love wont treat you like that
I won’t let go

Ain’t it time now when we rise up and we fight it
Say you’re a lover man
Then tell me why why why what’s it gonna take to know that

Love don’t treat ya like that, babe I’m letting you know
Saying love don’t treat ya like that ya I know

Only thing I wanted was to try and find a new way
Lately I’ve been feeling that it might be the ending of days

Saying, Love don’t treat ya like that just don’t let go
Ya love don’t treat ya like that I’m letting you know

It’s a time we find a new way
Even if they come from all sides
They trying to turn us in to criminals
Well come anyway
And you wondered how
Take me I wont hesitate to tell them that Love won’t treat ya like that babe I’m letting you know

Saying love don’t treat ya like that babe I’m letting ya know
Saying love don’t treat ya like that babe I’m letting ya know

We’re preyed upon in there little game and we cry
Deep in the night deep in your woes
Baby I can’t let em and I won’t let go

There’s a line in the sands
I think we’ll have to cross it man
IF IF I GOT GOT TTTTELL YA
TELL YA WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

Saying love don’t treat ya like that babe I’m letting ya know
Saying love don’t treat ya like that I’m letting ya know
Saying love don’t treat ya like that babe I’m letting ya know
Saying love don’t treat ya like that I’m not letting go
