This song was featured on a Kerrang compilation CD entitled Kerrang! Under the Influence: The Songs That Inspired My Chemical Romance, as My Chemical Romance had cited Idlewild, and more explicitly "Love Steals Us from Loneliness", as a major influence.

Background

According to Colin Newton, the band was not:

"intending to release any singles at all from this record to start with. It was like a grudging truce between ourselves and the record company to put out "Love Steals Us From Loneliness" as the first single from Warnings/Promises, although with hindsight I guess that was the most obvious choice and perfectly bridges where we were with the last album and where we are now.[2]
