"Love's Crashing Waves" is a song written by Difford & Tilbrook and released on their 1984 self-titled debut album.

Released as the first single from Difford & Tilbrook, "Love's Crashing Waves" saw moderate commercial success. Though considered the most commercial song on the album, it saw limited chart success: it was the act's only charting single in the UK (reaching number 57), and by 1985 Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook had re-formed their previous (and more popular) band, Squeeze. Difford recalled,

Squeeze have, on a few occasions, played this song live. Salons Annie Zaleski described the song as a "sophisto-pop gem".[1]
