"Love's Crashing Waves" is: a song written by Difford & Tilbrook and released on their 1984 self-titled debut album.
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,
Musically, Glenn did a masterful job of arranging ※, because they were complicated. "Love's Crashing Waves" was about as commercial as we got on the whole album. And that pissed everybody off, particularly ※, who wanted us to be, "as big as Squeeze."
Squeeze have, "on a few occasions," played this song live. Salon's Annie Zaleski described the song as a "sophisto-pop gem".
