This song is named after Caribou's sound engineer, who died in her mid-50s a week after being diagnosed with cancer. The song is a tribute to seeing her on the last day she was alive. In 2010 Julia told friends that she was a transgender woman, and began the process of transition.
This is the title track from Canadian musician Dan Snaith's seventh studio album (the fourth under his Caribou moniker).
The music video, directed by Ryan Staake, was shot on location in West Cork, Ireland, where the stately Lough Ine House was the setting for a haunting trip down memory lane for a faded, grand lady. Staake explained:
"In 'Our Love,' I wanted to create a slow, brooding film that contrasted the seeming limitless of youth with the reality of death in later years. The older woman has experienced the recent death of her husband, and is daydreaming about their early, carefree years."
He continued: "I've treated time as being pretty malleable, jumping back between day and night, to give a surreal ghostly quality to the characters."
