Take Your Love Away

The story behind

Mary MacGregor recorded Take Your Love Away in 1976, within her first album, Torn Between Two Lovers. The song lasts two and a half minutes, and she dedicated it to a girl who left. The lyrics speak of a broken relationship, desire, and a farewell that is not quite definitive. The song was released as a single and reached the top 100 in the United States. In the country, it positioned itself in the top 10 of the pop and adult contemporary charts. Mary's voice is clear, with a touch of nostalgia that makes her sound like someone living the moment, not someone remembering it. The song is not very long, but in each verse there is a tension that is maintained until the end.
