"They Stood Up for Love" is a song by alternative rock group Live, which was released as the third and final single from their 1999 album, The Distance to Here. It reached number one on the Belgian Singles Chart.
The song was not released as a single in the US, but reached #31 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks Chart and #24 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart. The single releases include acoustic recordings made at Jet Studios in Brussels, Belgium in April, 2000.
The single was a #1 hit in Belgium and also reached #44 in The Netherlands.
The video for "They Stood Up For Love" was directed by Kai Sehr and features the band performing the song in a recording studio. This footage is interspersed with film of young people partying. The two strands come together as the people from the increasingly wild party join the band in the studio. The content of the video is somewhat at odds with the spiritual nature of the song's lyrics.
