Only Love Can Break Your Heart" is a song written by Neil Young.
In 1990, English band Saint Etienne recorded a cover version of the song, included on their debut album Foxbase Alpha. Andrew Weatherall later remixed the song to further emphasise the dub bassline: this remix was featured on both releases of the single and on the compilation Casino Classics. Their recording, made in under two hours, got them a record deal, their first single, and their first hit. Lead vocals were by Moira Lambert, as Sarah Cracknell had not yet joined the band as a permanent member.
The song was re-released in the UK as a double A-side with the track "Filthy", peaking at number 39 in the UK Singles Chart. The song remains Saint Etienne's only entry in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 97 in 1992. It did, however, top the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. The U.S. b-side to the single was the Foxbase Alpha album track "Stoned to Say the Least." In 2003, Vibe listed Weatherall's "Mix of two halves" remix as one of the "Top 25 remixes ever created." The U.S. release contained a different extended mix by Flowered Up (issued in the UK only on a flexidisc), though it was mistakenly listed as the "Mix of two halves". Weatherall had no involvement with this mix.
The song went # 1 on the US Dance Chart primarily due to the strong Masters At Work remixes on the 12".
The group went on to have another huge single with Masters At Work remixes, "Nothing Can Stop Us."The group also put out a huge hit under the alias Cola Boy...7 Ways To Love.
