Has this ever happened to you? You have just been blindsided by the Katrina of all breakups. You turn to your car radio for a shot of emotional solace. Suddenly, it seems every station on the dial is playing a song that only serves to pump up the volume of your despair.
The classic rock station — "Love Hurts" (Nazareth, 1975);
The Top 40 station — "Bleeding Love" (Leona Lewis, 2007);
The hip-hop station — "Independent" (Webbie featuring Lil' Boosie & Lil Phat, 2008);
The classic R&B station — "Love Don't Live Here Anymore," (Rose Royce, 1978
The country station — "Just Got Started Lovin' You" (James Otto, 2008);
AARRRGGH! Make it STOP!
Pull off the freeway, put the car in park and let the water works flow, bubby. It's maddening, to be sure, but it's also completely predictable. Nobody knows for certain how many songs about love there are, but it has to be a gajillion, at least.
How do you feel about the music of romance? What's the best love song ever? Your personal favorite? The absolute worst? The one line that makes you just a wee bit weepy every time you hear it?
