More Than Words by Extreme

Genre: Rock
Year: 1991

"More Than Words" is a ballad written and originally performed by the rock band Extreme. It is built around acoustic guitar work by Nuno Bettencourt and the vocals of Gary Cherone (with harmony vocals from Bettencourt). Released in 1990 on the album , the song marked a departure from the funk metal that had permeated the bands style previous to its release. It has been said to be the favorite song of late Tejano superstar Selena. The song was described by Bettencourt as a song warning that the phrase "I love you" was becoming meaningless: "People use it so easily and so lightly that they think you can say that and fix everything, or you can say that and everythings OK. Sometimes you have to do more and you have to show it - theres other ways to say I love you'". Read full article at wikipedia.org
