"Love Can Heal" is a song by English musician Peter Gabriel, released as the ninth single in promotion of his tenth studio album I/O. Due to August having a blue moon, this was the second of two tracks to be released in August alongside "Olive Tree". Three versions of "Love Can Heal" were created, starting with the Bright-Side mix, which was produced by Spike Stent. On 15 September 2023, the Dark-Side mix (produced by Tchad Blake) and the In-Side mix (produced by Hans-Martin Buff) were also released. Gabriel described Buff's mix as an "immersive" experience that provided the listener "a place just to drift off into."
A music video by Aardman Animations and cover artist Antony Micallef was also released alongside the track.
Background
The song was debuted live back in 2016 during the Rock, Paper, Scissors tour in North America. Gabriel wrote the song as a tribute to Jo Cox who was murdered that same year. Prior to her assassination, Gabriel had encountered Cox at a leadership conference. In a press release, Gabriel explained that he included the track on i/o because he believed it fit with the theme of "being connected to everything".
According to Gabriel, the track is a "dreamy, experiential piece with some abstract imagery" and "a carpet of sound, a tapestry where things are woven together, but not necessarily supposed to stick out, but just form part of a whole".
The cover was designed by artist Antony Micallef with his work "a small painting of what I think love looks". About the track and artwork, Micallef said,"With 'Love Can Heal' I could see my images coming up when I was hearing it. [...] I love artists who take risks and Peter's always chopped and changed and I like to do that too with my work and you know it doesn't just rest on this one thing."
