About "I've Been Loving You Too Long" by Percy Sledge
Sledge's 'I've Been Loving You Too Long' is a masterclass in restraint and ruin. Over a sparse, organ-kissed backdrop, he pleads with a weariness that feels like a worn leather pew. The emotional tension is unbearable: love as a habit he cannot break, a slow bleed dressed in Sunday clothes.
