"The More You Live, the More You Love" was the first single from A Flock of Seagulls' third album, The Story of a Young Heart, in 1984, and it turned out to be their last international hit. The song is a sleek, wistful synth-and-guitar shimmer, with Mike Score singing, playing keyboards and guitar, Paul Reynolds' guitar ringing out, Frank Maudsley on bass and Ali Score on drums. Steve Lovell produced.
It went top 40 in the UK, Germany and New Zealand, hit No. 10 in Flanders, and reached 56 on the Hot 100 and 10 on the Mainstream Rock chart. The video was filmed at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.
