About the song
Love Beats Hate
"Love Beats Hate" by Jim Scaparotti and TINMAN Project is a warm, anthemic roots-rock song about love as active resistance — patient, kind, protective, and stubbornly hopeful in a divided moment. If you're searching for songs about love conquering hate, unity anthems, or hopeful protest-adjacent songs for sync licensing, this is a natural fit. From the upcoming album Freight Train (Fall 2026).
Written by Jim Scaparotti and slated for the upcoming Freight Train album, "Love Beats Hate" leans on the plain truth of 1 Corinthians-style love — patient, kind, not easily angered — and turns it into a singalong. It's the record's stated thesis: love, actually, beats hate.
Instrumentation
Warm rhythm guitars, steady drums, melodic bass, and a lifted lead vocal built for a singalong chorus.
Lyrics
Love Beats Hate
Love beats hate, love conquers all Love beats hate, just you wait Don't hesitate, to give your love Well, it's nothing like the love that's in the movies No dime store romance ever got it right It's the love that sparks a journey from the darkness to the light Love beats hate, love conquers all Love beats hate, just you wait Don't hesitate, to give your love Love beats hate, love beats hate Love conquers all, love conquers all Love beats hate, just you wait, don't hesitate to give your love Love is blind to what skin you're in Love is kind, love protects the weak Love's not angry, doesn't get its own way Won't cancel you for what you believe Love is patient, doesn't boast Doesn't make you pay, never ever runs away If you're lonely, feeling sorrow, under the crush of hate What I can tell you is wait, just you wait Wait wait, just you wait now 'Cause love beats hate, love beats hate, love beats hate Just you wait, just you wait wait, wait Love beats hate
