Ah, love. The feeling of deep and affectionate passion/care towards a person(s) or thing(s). The feeling characterized by butterflies in your stomach or your heart about to burst through your chest. Since this emotion can be interpreted in a wide variety of ways, it is one of the biggest topics focused on in music.
The lyrics of songs reflect all different variations of the how love can happen and make one feel. Whether light and fluffy, like soft kisses and tender moments, or passionate and sensual, like close intimacy. From attraction at first sight to enemies turned lovers. Whether it be between star-crossed lovers doomed from the start or soulmates destined to meet one another.
But in contrast to the excitement and joy from love is the sadness and pain of heartbreak, another strong feeling expressed in music. However, heartbreak is similar to its predecessor in the way this emotion can be expressed in many ways too. Heartbreak can be bittersweet; it can be excruciatingly painful; it can gloomily sorrowful; it can even be violently angry.
Love is an emotion worth exploring. And it is explored in thousands of ways through millions upon millions of songs from the minds and mouths of millions of artists from different walks of life from all over the world. No one way is correct as is no one way is incorrect.
