*Play this song on YouTube.*

"**Reverence (Make You Love)**" is an October Noir song included on their third album *Fate, Wine, & Wisteria*, released in 2021. This song details about the attempts to give her love and the refusal to move on from her. The song has '90s alternative feel combined with romantic and haunting tones.

On July 21, 2023 October Noir released the single and music video for "Reverence". The video, which was recorded in the Pirate Forge in Pensacola, FL, shows the band playing the song and humorous acts of horror while playing peripherals, such as Doug Lane having his mouth taped shut while being pulled by feature member Madame Absinthe while pressing keys, while Tyler Fleming was strangled by Jade while banging drums. The remaining feature members Lilith and Kristin swing strangling ropes. Moon Burns Productions reviewing the single and video said that "Madame Absinthe totally stole the show! This video fits the song absolutely perfectly, and sounds so complete, well polished and solid."

## Lyrics

This betrayal of the highest cost

A bottomless pit, no forward or reverse

Trapped inside my troubled mind

What have I become?

Forgive me for trying to move on

My pain echoes in the arms

of the devil lately

Fashioned of sleet, stone, and snow

Memories like water poured

through my hands, maybe I'm

lost at sea tossed to and fro

I'll make you love

Make you love

It's all worth fighting for, baby

I'll make you love

Make you love my soul

I'll make you love

Make you love

It's all worth dying for, baby

I'll make you love

Make me love your soul

Hear me when

Hear me when

This feels like a death of a loved one

My personal end, I'm less than none

Shackled by this modern day

old heretic's fork

Forgive me but I can't move on

My pain echoes in the arms

of the devil lately

Fashioned of sleet, stone, and snow

Memories like water poured

through my hands, maybe I'm

lost at sea tossed to and fro

I'll make you love

Make you love

It's all worth fighting for, baby

I'll make you love

Make you love my soul

I'll make you love

Make you love

It's all worth dying for, baby

I'll make you love

Make me love your soul

Hear me when

Hear me when
