## Backround

lynne had been woking hard on her debut album with expected release around march 1994, after the lead single tanked she was forced to restart and one of the first songs she wrote was love letter, imagined as a vision of love type song lynne felt the more contemporary pop sound would appeal to virgin, they loved the song and felt it was a strong contender for a single. when producing the song virgin brought in David foster to co-produce it with walter for an ultimate pop adult contemporary expirience. lynne held off on releasing it till 3 singles had already premiered. Lynne filmed the video in her childhood bedroom in La Vista, Nebraska over a long weekend with her writing a letter to send to her lover. lynne came up with the concept herself and she served as co-producer.

## Writing

lynne has stated that the song is a love song between her and her then boyfriend Chris Hogason over there relationship and passion for writing music and creating demos together as well as a semi autobiographical telling of there love story infused at points. lynne intentionally had made the song melody very simplistic for most of the song to make the climax more dramatic in comparison. the original demo had a much more soulful and R&B inspired beat and sampling than what was presant on the completed version.

## Release

virgin released the single on february 18 1995 and to help promote the song, lynne made her acting debut on an episode of friends in february 1995 where she played herself and sang the song. this promotion helped the single enter the hot 100 at the 72 spot on February 25 1995, 4 weeks later the song reached 57 which would be its peak. the song spent just one more week o the charts before leaving. it proved to be disappointing elsewhere as well. it charted in just 6 other countries with its highest peak being in UK Peaking at 19. reception was lukewarm. may felt the track was overproduced and clean compared to the raw and powerful vocals lynne presents. since its release, Lynne has only performed the song on her Love Letter Tour on the setlist and once in 1996. since then, Lynne stated its one of her least favorite songs from her discography and has even stated she dislikes it.

God

The supreme being and creator of the universe in the LCU, father of Jesus.

God calling Satan a failure

## Personality

Displaying an attitude similar to a dictator or an abusive father, God is more feared than respected. He gets upset when people do not do exactly what he wants them to do exactly how he tells them to do it when he wants them to do it.

### Philosophy

God believes in strict order and adheres to the patriarchy. His system was designed almost completely by himself and he gets defensive whenever it is challenged. He can and will sacrifice ethics for the sake of order.

## History

After his creation of the universe and war with his son, Satan, God created man. Over the millennia, God started moving away from a mentor role and started treating Heaven and Hell like a business, taking on Steven as an assistant. God also appoints Adolf Hitler to spy on Satan after making him CEO of Hell instead of a sales representative. When Satan quits, Margery becomes the ruler of Hell and God decides to let her.
