Love song

A love song is a song about being in love, falling in love, heartbreak upon the ending of a loving relationship, and the feelings that these experiences bring. A comprehensive list of even the best known performers and composers of love songs would be a large order.

Love songs can be found in many musical genres.

History

Love songs have been around for centuries and can be found in the histories and cultures of most societies, though their ubiquity is a modern phenomenon.

A highly controversial and startling explanation of the genesis of love songs can be found in Denis de Rougemont's "Love in the Western World". De Rougemont's thesis is that love songs grew out of the courtly love songs of the troubadours, and that those songs represented a rejection of the historical Christian notion of love.

Identities of love songs change from time to time, from the decade of love in the '70s, through night partying in the '80s, and into dark romance of the '90s. Love songs did not have an identity in the 2000s.

For the album Sundfør collaborated with Anthony Gonzalez of M83, Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland of Röyksopp, Lars Horntveth and the Trondheimsolistene Chamber Ensemble. Sundfør described the album as an attempt to make a pop record. 'Ten Love Songs' and its lead single 'Fade Away' became a commercial success in Sundfør's home country both receiving a gold certification.

    Themes

    Sundfør said in an interview, "When I first started to work on the album, I wanted to make an album about violence, and then, as I was writing the songs, there were violent aspects, but they were usually about love or relationships, how you connect with other people. And in the end, that turned out to be 10 love songs."

    Love Songs

    by: Bee Gees

    It's over and done
    but the heartache lives on inside
    and who is the one you're clinging to instead of me
    tonight?
    And where are you now, now that I need you?
    Tears on my pillow ,wherever you go
    and cry me a river
    that leads to your ocean
    You'll never see me fall apart
    In the words of a broken heart
    it's just emotion
    that's taking me over
    tied up in sorrow
    lost in my soul
    and if you don't come back
    come home to me darling
    you know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight,
    nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
    Goodnight, goodnight
    I'm there at your side,
    I'm part of all the things you are
    and you've got a part of someone else
    you've gone to find your shining star
    And where are you now, now that I need you?
    Tears on my pillow ,wherever you go
    and cry me a river
    that leads to your ocean
    You'll never see me fall apart
    In the words of a broken heart
    it's just emotion
    that's taking me over
    tied up in sorrow
    lost in my soul
    and if you don't come back
    come home to me darling
    know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight,
    nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
    Goodnight, goodnight
    And where are you now, now that I need you?
    Tears on my pillow , wherever you go
    and cry me a river
    that leads to your ocean
    You'll never see me fall apart
    In the words of a broken heart
    it's just emotion
    that's taking me over
    tied up in sorrow
    lost in my soul
    and if you don't come back
    come home to me darling
    know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight,
    nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
    Goodnight, goodnight
