Pop artefact news: Calvin Harris has found the handwritten lyrics to 'We Found Love'

  • August 3, 2015

This isn't really 'news' news, but it is vaguely inter­est­ing so here we are: Calvin Harris has popped his hand­writ­ten lyric sheet for one of the greatest songs of the last few millennia, ie Rihanna's quite suc­cess­ful 'We Found Love', onto the internet.

Awful hand­writ­ing, but what can you do.

As you well know most massive songs are co-written by a con­glom­er­ate of song­writers and producers, whereas 'We Found Love' was solely written by Calvin. It's now sold over 10.5m copies. That, dear readers, equates to what we fin­an­cially minded people like to call a shitload of cash. But more than that, this is a story of one man. One man with a dream. One man whose dream to make music changed the lives of millions of people.
