Multi-Love
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Multi-Love
About the Song
The meaning of “Multi-Love” by Unknown Mortal Orchestra is that polyamorous relationships can be challenging. The song is based on singer Ruban Nielson’s real-life struggles with a love triangle between himself, his wife, and another woman.
“
I’d never heard of polyamory before and I wasn’t interested in the idea of it. I just wanted to pretend that no one had ever thought of it before, to stumble into it blindly. […] We let our defenses down. The complications kicked in later. - Ruben Nielson
