"Love's Crashing Waves" is a song written by Difford & Tilbrook and released on their 1984 self-titled debut album.
Background Released as the first single from Difford & Tilbrook, "Love's Crashing Waves" saw moderate commercial success. Though considered the most commercial song on the album, it saw limited chart success: it was the act's only charting single in the UK (reaching number 57), and by 1985 Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook had re-formed their previous (and more popular) band, Squeeze. Difford recalled,
Difford & Tilbrook created a music video for the song, which was filmed in Brighton.
Squeeze have, on a few occasions, played this song live. Difford has since cited the song as one he would like Squeeze to revisit in its live set, commenting, "It was from a time when Glenn and I weren’t getting on particularly well, but we were still able to write some fantastic songs".
Salon's Annie Zaleski described the song as a "sophisto-pop gem".
