For My Sunday Song #383, we are diving in to the song “I Really Don’t Want Your Love” by April Wine. This is another Tim Durling selection that is a rare track and not any April Wine studio album. This is a B-Side to the song to their 1984 hit “This Could Be The Right One” off their album ‘Animal Grace’. The single hit #61 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, but of course the B-Side did nothing, but at least it was out there in the world to be heard.
The song was written by Myles Goodwyn, as all of their songs basically were. The song is about a girl that is leading the guy on. She’s playing games and stringing hime along for her own enjoyment. He is tired of it and has hit his breaking point and he’s ready to say goodbye. He doesn’t need her love anymore and he’s out of there. Someday she’ll turn around and might notice that he’s gone.
This is a great song and so hard to believe this wasn’t on any studio album as it has everything you’d want in a song. The quick tempo has lots of energy, great guitars, great driving drum beat and rhythm section. The vocals have a pacing that is really great on the lyrics and Myles vocals are awesome as well (assuming Myles is singing as I am not overly familiar with the band). The chorus is really awesome as well as it is so catchy and will hook you in instantly. I found myself moving to the beat of the music and that is always the sign of a good song. If this is a non-album track, just how good are the studio tracks. I might need to check these guys out.
