"So Much Love to Give" is a 2002 single released by French house duo Together, consisting of Thomas Bangalter and DJ Falcon. The song contains a sample of "Love's Such a Wonderful Thing" by the Real Thing.
The Guardian recognized it as the fourth-best French touch song in 2024.[1]
Vices Ryan Bassil wrote that "the image of heaven – or a similarly flawless place – continues to be the thing I think about when I hear this song". Bassil wrote that the sample served as the song's bedrock, praising it as a "a never-changing, constant, euphoric nebula." He said the combination of the vocal and the "warm, original" production made it "intoxicating", and felt that the repetition "creates a trance-like feeling, where the sounds become a kaleidoscope; where intimate and tiny details shift, but on a grand scale."[2] KCRW called it "a ten-plus minute epic that you may love, hate, grudgingly respect, and love again all within a single listen."[3]
The Guardians Ben Beaumont-Thomas praised "its 10 minutes of overwhelming euphoria, where a maximalist arrangement of in-the-red synths and repeated declaration of love is followed by the same maximalist arrangement of in-the-red synths and repeated declaration of love, this time with a whacking great bass drum added." He added that song has the ability to erase "the intellectual capacity of an entire dancefloor" when it is played.
