From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Let My Love Open the Door" is a song written and performed by Pete Townshend from his 1980 album Empty Glass. It reached the top ten in that same year, reaching number nine.
The song has been used frequently in film, most notably the comedy genre, first as part of the trailer music for Jerry Maguire, and then as end credit song for Jersey Girl and Along Came Polly, both from 2004, and Old Dogs from 2009. It also was featured in the following films and TV series:
A cover of this song was recorded by Audio Adrenaline, with the interpretation of "my love" referring to God's love. This may be consistent with the composer's intent: In the liner notes of Townshend's Gold (Remaster) CD, he refers to this song as "Jesus sings." It was also covered by M. Ward (for the 2005 Starbucks compilation album, Sweetheart 2005: Love Songs), and by Townshend's own band The Who. Sherie Rene Scott covered the song on her 2001 album ...Men I've Had.
Steve Carell and Dane Cook are credited with a cover version featured in the 2007 film Dan in Real Life.[1] This version was arranged by Sondre Lerche, who also recorded a cover for the soundtrack of the film.
