Love Song; Say What?

I am currently enjoying some music on Itunes....for those of you that don't know Itunes is doing this 69 cent love songs and they have love songs from the 60's to today. I've listened to just about all of them by now and as I'm listening to the songs...as the decades go on the music really changes.

In the 60's the songs are about how people feel when they are with another person. The songs are about love, true love. The people are singing their hearts out about something real and true. This continues all the way up until the end of the 90's and today.

I think it's really pathetic how today there aren't any true blue songs about just; love. I don't want to hear about how Enrique doesn't mean to be rude, but tonight; he's "fucking you.". I don't want to hear Akon try to be polite and call some girl a "sexy bitch". I don't know if I can think of an R&B song from today where the artist isn't singing about banging people. Unless the song is a remake of course...

I just don't understand what has happened to love in music. I don't know about everyone else, but sometimes I get really sick and tired of listening to people sing about sex all day long. It's not even good sex, it's One-Night-Stand sex, it's totally unattached sex. I thought music was suppose to be about how people feel, when I hear a song I want to know what that person felt when they wrote it. And I want real music, that techno stuff is fine to a point but I don't wanna hear it all day. Maybe, when Enrique or his song writer was writing Tonight I'm Loving You they were in a horny mood. But I have a really hard time believing that every artists is always in that horny mood.

I guess I'm just saying that sometimes, I just want to hear a genuine song about love...about how it can be real, and I should be able to hear that without listening to Taylor Swift.
