"Love Is the Seventh Wave" is the second single and second track from Sting's 1985 solo debut album The Dream of the Blue Turtles.
The song describes how love is the seventh wave, or the strongest wave in a series of waves, thus wiping out any sort of problems. It concludes with a brief, self-mocking reference to Sting's biggest hit song with The Police, "Every Breath You Take", which is about the dark side of love that leads to sexual jealousy and obsession.
The single contains a different mix of the song from the album. It also features a live version of "Consider Me Gone", which was recorded at the Mogador Theatre in Paris in May 1985.
