"The More You Live, The More You Love" is a standout track by the English new wave band , released in 1984 as the lead single from their third album, The Story of a Young Heart .

The song explores the complexities of emotional experience. The title serves as a mantra for the idea that wisdom and the capacity for love are directly tied to the passage of time and the accumulation of life's lessons—both the good and the painful.

Filmed in a stylized, noir-inspired setting, the video features the band performing in a rain-slicked, industrial environment. It leaned into the "romantic" aesthetic of the era, moving away from the sci-fi tropes of their first two albums.

Driven by Mike Score’s distinctive vocals and Paul Reynolds’ intricate, chorus-drenched guitar work, the song balances melancholic synth pads with a steady, driving beat. It’s less "space-age" than their earlier hits and more grounded in the sophisticated pop production of the mid-80s.
